While more than 100 years ago, having a “tan” was considered something only poor people would get, it is now one of the most “attractive” things people can do to their body. In the last few years, more and more women want to create tan lines on their bodies. This is so that they can then show off in loose tops or other outfits. However, what most young women don’t realize is that getting tan lines increases the risk of sunburns. At the same time, it might sound like “just a little sunburn,” but it can have serious consequences. However, influencer Jemma Violet has a safe way to get tan lines. Keep on reading to discover more!
Influencer Jemma Violet shows a “Safer” way to get tan lines
A little over a decade ago, people would try to hide their tan lines or try to tan as evenly as possible. However, in the last few years, people have seen tan lines as a new fashion statement. The tan line trend is getting so big that on platforms like TikTok, Hashtags like #Sunpoisoning are becoming increasingly popular. These people record themselves showing off the burns they got by lying in the sun all day. However, it is not safe to do so!
This is why TikTok influencer Jemma Violet shows off different ways of getting tan lines in a safe way. She uses her self-tanner and wears an old bikini when she’s applying it to her body. The result? Similar light triangles that come out above her boob, as if she had been tanning for a while. She created the look without having to expose her skin to dangerous amounts of UV rays!
Why are real tans so risky?
The influencers, like Jemma Violet, are promoting that while tan lines might be considered attractive, the way to get them is no joke. Most people only get tan lines after they’re burned from directly lying in the sun’s UV light. This can have serious health risks. Getting sunburned once or twice per year can significantly increase the risk on Skin Cancer
If you get Tan Lines because you work outdoors or on a beach, and try to protect yourself with sunscreen, then you’re less likely to get skin cancer. Daily exposure to the sun’s UV rays isn’t bad; it’s the people who suddenly lie in the sun for hours without any protection and get sunburns all over their bodies.
