The sunbathing trend with the hashtag #sunburnttanlines has been viewed more than two million times on Tik Tok this summer.
Many people on social media are railing against the harmful effects of this sunbathing trend.
We were a little disturbed to see this trend on Tik Tok of young people, particularly the girls, deliberately going out and getting suntan lines. And that led us to think it was time to try once again to continue to spread the message about sun safety. And just to remind people on how damaging the sun and UV radiation is.Dr Andrew Dettrick is Associate Professor at the University of the Sunshine Coast
