“I Have Psoriasis And…”: Kim Kardashian Justifies Tanning Bed Usage

In a particular video, she lounges in a tanning bed, remarking, “Being Kim Kardashian, it’s only natural for me to have a tanning bed and a red light bed in my office.”

Reality TV personality and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian found herself defending the use of tanning beds in her office after facing criticism. The 43-year-old clarified that the tanning bed serves to alleviate symptoms associated with her psoriasis condition.

Embracing the popular “of course” video trend, Kardashian took to TikTok to provide her followers with a glimpse into her Sknn by Kim offices. During the virtual tour, the Skims founder showcased various items, including a close-up of a custom mannequin crafted to match her dimensions, a 3D model of her brain on her desk, and notably, an in-office tanning bed, as reported by The Independent.

In one of the video clips, Kardashian is seen reclining in the tanning bed, humorously remarking, “I’m Kim Kardashian, of course, I have a tanning bed, and a red light bed in my office.”

Amid the scrutiny, Allure magazine took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to implore Kardashian not to normalize the use of tanning beds, citing alarming statistics about the association between tanning and cancer.

In response, the reality TV star defended her use of the tanning bed, stating, “I have psoriasis, and it really helps when it’s bad. But I don’t use it too often.” Kardashian’s explanation shed light on her occasional utilization of the tanning bed as a remedy for psoriasis-related symptoms.

Tanning beds, as acknowledged by the National Institute of Health, are widely recognized as treatments for psoriasis. Both light therapy, similar to the non-tanning-bed approach adopted by Kardashian, and exposure to sunlight have proven to be beneficial in addressing psoriasis symptoms.

The Skin Cancer Foundation issues a stark warning, stating, “Just one visit to the tanning salon significantly increases your chances of a cancer that can kill you.”

Kim Kardashian has been transparent about her struggles with psoriasis, a condition characterized by noticeable red and scaly patches on the skin. She first revealed her diagnosis in a 2011 episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Over the years, she has shared her experiences in managing and coping with this condition.

In discussing her approach, Kardashian revealed, “I try to eat as many anti-inflammatory and antioxidant foods as possible,” as shared on her sister Kourtney’s Poosh lifestyle blog. She further explained that if dietary changes prove ineffective, she resorts to creams and ointments for relief. Kardashian noted that applying ointment or cream to affected areas and wrapping them in Saran Wrap has been a helpful practice, though limited to specific areas.
