CHARLOTTE, N.C. \u2014 Dermatologists are warning about a dangerous trend as summer approaches: teens and young adults pursuing the “perfect tan,” despite known health risks.<\/p>\n

\n

Social media platforms are filled with videos encouraging people to develop darker tan lines and spend extended time in the sun.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

A recent American Academy of Dermatology survey found that one in four Gen Z respondents said having a tan is important to them, even though many recognize the potential health risks.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

WCNC Charlotte\u00a0verified several common tanning claims and myths circulating online using sources from the Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic and American Academy of Dermatology.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The first myth examined whether people can get sunburned on cloudy days.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, up to 80% of the sun’s harmful UV rays can penetrate clouds, meaning people without sunscreen could still suffer burns. The claim is verified as true.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The second myth suggested that people who tan easily don’t need sunscreen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The Mayo Clinic states there is no such thing as a safe tan, explaining that tanning is actually the body’s response to UV damage and a sign that skin has been injured. Even with a “nice glow,” sun exposure can damage skin, increase aging and raise cancer risk. This myth is false \u2013 everyone needs sunscreen regardless of tanning ability.<\/p>\n

\n

Finally, experts verified whether aloe vera helps heal sunburn.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The Cleveland Clinic confirms aloe vera has moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe skin and may help with intense peeling.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

However, Dr. Jennifer Lucas from the Cleveland Clinic warns that not all sunburns should be treated at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

“If you get to the point where you are having fevers, throwing up or light-headed these may mean you have really overdone it,” Lucas said. “You could be dehydrated, you could have other things going on, and those are times you would need to seek medical attention.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Experts recommend using sunscreen and limiting sun exposure as the best protection.<\/p>\n
