A TikTok Doctor Put An Influencer On Blast For Promoting Tanning Beds Spouting BS Health Tips

You may have thought the era of bronzing up in a solarium was long gone after Australia outlawed the commercial use of sunbeds in 2015, but that hasn’t stopped a cheeky influencer or two from using tanning beds under the radar. Even if under the radar means simultaneously posting the tan sesh to social media. Sigh. Influencer-slash-ex-Big Brother

Skye was quick to hit back claims she was in the wrong, appearing fed up in a clapback posted on her Story.

Back to calling out influencers! Whenever your favourite influencer promotes something or gives a reccomendation on their page, do some research and see what it actually is. Don’t rely on their word! Skye was promoting a new type of solarium, which is illegal in australia, but also unethical. I’d suggest she read the science behind aging and skin cancee before she dishes out information! #skincancer #australia #influencer #solarium
