With summer right around the corner and the weather getting warmer, teens are looking forward to tanning again. Tanning has many benefits, including increased vitamin D and better moods, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Along with health benefits, many teens find tan lines aesthetically pleasing and tan specifically to get swimsuit tan lines.

“I like tanning because it helps me relax. My personal goal from tanning is to get tan lines since I really like the look of them,” said Tiree Hansen, a sophomore at Petaluma High School and a tanning enthusiast.

The kids are all right.
