Usually during the summer, you can find
0:02
me by a body of water of some kind. And
0:05
usually I'm pretty strict about
0:07
sunscreen, even when it's cloudy out.
0:10
But I might be in a growing minority
0:13
about that. More and more young people
0:15
are tanning without sun protection in an
0:17
effort to get as dark as they possibly
0:19
can. Elle's Katie Berone told me all
0:22
about this dangerous trend on the latest
0:24
episode of my podcast Explain It to Me.
0:27
Basically, tan maxing is when people try
0:30
to get as tan as they possibly can in
0:33
the most optimized way. That means
0:35
they'll do stuff like look at the UV
0:37
index and go outside when it's at a 10,
0:40
which is really, really high. And if
0:43
you're concerned about the sun and what
0:46
it can do to your skin, that's the last
0:48
time you want to be outside, let alone
0:51
using the tanning products that Katie
0:53
says are getting more and more popular.
0:55
>> I think that there is this certain
0:58
degree of nihilism of like, "Oh, well,
1:00
the world is
1:01
bad anyway, why wouldn't I just also get
1:04
a tan?" And I also think that to a
1:07
certain extent, you know, [music] I and
1:09
I don't know how many people would say
1:10
that they're necessarily inspired by the
1:14
Trump administration or something like
1:15
that, [music] but we do see in the
1:18
culture right now kind of this turn
1:21
against medicine and vaccines and trust
1:25
in science, and I do think there are
1:28
people online that are taking that and
1:29
also saying that they don't trust
1:31
sunscreen. They think that chemicals in
1:33
sunscreen are bad for you.
