In a video lasting just a few seconds, the influencer and entrepreneur humorously talks about everything that makes the offices of her cosmetics brand unique. From the wall full of photos of himself, to the advertising campaigns that appear on giant screens, including a model of his brain and his private jet… Tall the extravagances that constitute its identity are highlighted. What is problematic, however, is when he approaches the UV issue too lightly for our tastes: “I’m Kim Kardashian, so obviously I have a UV booth in my office.”
What are the risks associated with using UV booths?
If Kim Kardashian seems to be using UV booths without questioning the potential damage they can cause to her skin, let us enlighten you for her. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the leading cause of skin cancer. Second International Agency for Research on Cancer (CIRC): the risk of developing melanoma increases by 60% for people who had their first exposure to artificial UV rays before the age of 30…
In France alone, more than 80,000 new cases of skin cancer are identified per year Health.gov. A fact that is obviously not only due to the UV booths, but also to their use.
It must be said that these are extremely harmful. For what ? Simply because they project UVA rays. While they tend to cause less sunburn, they also cause damage deep into the skin. All in a completely painless way. You should know that in addition to causing the appearance of malignant melanomas, UVA rays are directly involved in the premature aging of the epidermis and also cause damage to the immune system…
Why is it a problem when Kim Kardashian talks about it?
Followed by millions of people, including young people, Kim Kardashian has a say in the matter, probably despite herself. When the latter approaches the topic of artificial tanning with humor, it can lead to trivializing the use of this remedy for aesthetic purposes, which could prove harmful to a more easily influenced public. This is why many dermatologists and skin experts have published videos on TikTok to re-establish a preventative discourse aimed especially at younger people.
We can say it: this time too Kim K didn’t behave well…
