The Ultraviolet Tide

For decades, getting a tan meant getting UV exposure, but what if you could get the glow without the sun?In this episode of Burnt Truths, we trace the rise of self-tanning, from a scientific accident in the 1950s to today's nearly $2 billion global beauty industry. We explore how DHA changed the way we tan, why self-tanning has become a mainstream alternative to tanning beds, and whether swapping UV rays for a bottle represents real progress.Through our conversation with Krin Madsen, Chief Brand Officer at The Glow Lounge, we look at how the self-tanning industry has evolved, and what the shift away from UV tanning tells us about changing attitudes toward sun safety, beauty, and the desire to be bronzed.In this episode, we discuss:Why a scientific accident led to the discovery of sunless tanningHow DHA creates the appearance of a tan without UV exposureThe evolution from streaky, orange self-tanners to today's luxury glowWhy more people are choosing self-tanning over tanning bedsHow tanning culture and beauty standards continue to influence usWhether we've changed the behavior or simply found a safer way to chase the same idealBecause maybe we've stopped chasing the sun. But have we stopped chasing the glow?This is Burnt Truths: Uncovering the shady side of getting sun-kissed.Sources & Further ReadingThe Baby Historian — How Sick Babies Led to the Discovery of Sunless TannerFortune Business Insights — Self-Tanning Products MarketThe New York Times — Who Made That Spray Tan?Serious Eats — The Maillard ReactionL'Oréal — The History of Ambre SolaireTikTok — Coppertone Vintage Commercial

As scientific evidence mounted and public attitudes toward indoor tanning began to shift, the industry faced a problem: how do you keep selling a product when consumers are becoming increasingly aware of its risks?In this episode of Burnt Truths, we follow the money behind the tanning industry and explore how it has adapted to a changing cultural and regulatory landscape.In this episode:How the tanning industry responded as awareness of the risks of indoor tanning grew  The marketing language used to reframe tanning as “wellness”  How regulation and the federal tanning tax affected the industry  The rise of hybrid tanning beds combining red light with UVA and UVB  Why red light therapy does not cancel out UV exposure  How the industry has adapted to keep consumers coming through the door This is Burnt Truths: Uncovering the shady side of getting sun-kissed.Sources & Further ReadingIBISWorld — Tanning Salons in the US Industry Data and AnalysisBMJ Journals — Tobacco ControlInternational Agency for Research on Cancer — Sunbeds and UV RadiationIRS — Affordable Care Act tax provisionsAIM at Skin Cancer Foundation — Indoor TanningeBay — Vintage Print Ad Klafsun Tanning BedsStanford Medicine — Red light therapy: What the science says

For decades, science has warned us about the dangers of ultraviolet radiation. In 2009, the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified both UV radiation and indoor tanning devices as Group 1 carcinogens, the same category as tobacco smoke. Yet millions of people continue to tan every year.In this episode of Burnt Truths, we explore why.Through the powerful stories of melanoma survivors Leah Adams and Dawn Stringer (Mrs. Texas International), we examine how beauty standards, tanning culture, and the illusion of invincibility continue to shape our relationship with the sun.In this episode: Why tanning beds are classified as Group 1 carcinogens  The parallels between the tanning and tobacco industries  Leah and Dawn's melanoma journeys  How beauty standards normalize tanning  Why changing tanning culture is about more than simply knowing the risks Because when the tan fades, what's left behind?This is Burnt Truths: Uncovering the shady side of getting sun-kissed.Sources & Further ReadingUltraviolet Tide Podcast — Ep. 62 Growing Up Tanned: Using My Melanoma Story as a Cautionary Tale with Dawn StringerNIH — The potential carcinogenic risk of tanning beds: clinical guidelines and patient safety adviceHealth Canada — Carcinogens in Tobacco SmokeBMJ Journals — The history of the discovery of the cigarette–lung cancer linkCancer Council NSW — A brief history of smokingAmerican Lung Association — Overall Smoking TrendsAmerican Academy of Dermatology — Indoor tanning stats

Step into the glowing blue booths of the 2000s. From mall salons to reality TV, we explore the founding story of tanning beds, how they became a pop culture phenomenon, and why the glow was never just skin deep. Plus, hear firsthand from an ex–tanning bed user about how these habits form and how hard they can be to break. Featuring insights from Leah Adams (@theleahalexis), a melanoma survivor, skin cancer educator, and marathon runner. This is Burnt Truths: Uncovering the shady side of getting sun-kissed.Sources & Further ReadingRefinery29 — These 2007 Beauty Trends Are Back & Better Than BeforeNIH — Lifetime History of Indoor Tanning in Young PeopleIMDb — Laguna Beach: The Real Orange CountyCosmedico — Sunbed Inventor Friedrich Wolff DeceasedWolff System — HistoryYouTube — Official Throwback Clip | Jersey Shore | MTVTropical Sunsations Tanning — What is High-Pressure Tanning

Before there was the “Hot Girl Summer,” there was Coco Chanel's accidental tan that changed beauty forever.In this first episode of Burnt Truths: Uncovering the Shady Side of Getting Sun-Kissed, we trace the cultural evolution of tanning, from a symbol of labor and lower status to the ultimate marker of leisure, wealth, and desirability.Featuring insights from Nana Regueiro, author of “A Short Cultural History of the Tan Line,” we explore how beauty standards flipped and why they stuck.This is Burnt Truths: Uncovering the shady side of getting sun-kissed.Sources & Further ReadingNIH —  Timeline of the Development of Skin-Lightening Active Ingredients in JapanScienceDirect — CerussiteRefinery29 — The Sexist History Behind Our Obsession With TanningBritannica — Victorian eraL’Oréal — Garnier Ambre SolaireVogue — A Short Cultural History of the Tan LineRefinery29 — Tanned Skin & Beauty StandardsScience Museum — The Story of Sun CreamSmithsonian Channel — Sunbathing CrazeThe New York Times — Skin Deep History

This month on The Skin Check with Jenn, we’re joined by Mary Blair, a two-time melanoma survivor, live theater professional, and passionate advocate for sun safety and skin cancer awareness.Mary opens up about living with Dysplastic Nevus Syndrome (DNS), a rare condition that significantly increases melanoma risk and makes regular skin checks a non-negotiable part of life. She shares how being proactive with sun protection still didn’t prevent multiple melanoma diagnoses and how she's learned to navigate the emotional toll that can come with constant monitoring, biopsies, and the fear of recurrence.Jenn and Mary also reflect on the powerful moment they connected as two people living with DNS and how finding someone who truly gets it can be a lifeline in an isolating experience. Whether you’ve been impacted by melanoma or simply want to learn more about DNS, this episode is a reminder that you’re never alone—and that sharing our stories has the power to connect and heal.New episodes of The Skin Check drop monthly—be sure to subscribe, rate, and review wherever you listen!SHOP JENN’S BOOK BRAVELY BECOMING: https://a.co/d/0nPySXSCONNECT WITH JENN:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jenn_patrice/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thenextchapterwithjenn/CONNECT WITH MARY:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mary.e.blairCONNECT WITH LOW ULTRAVIOLET:Website: https://www.lowultraviolet.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lowultraviolet/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LowUltravioletBUZZSPROUT:Podcasting isn’t hard when you have the right partners!
