A self-confessed tanning addict, who loves using sunbeds and nasal tanners, has hit back at those issuing health concerns, telling them: "Let me be me."
Eden King ( @edenkingg ) says she uses tanning beds twice a week to keep up her bronzed complexion while also enlisting the help of nasal tanners, which have not been approved in the UK.
According to the Daily Star, the 20-year-old regularly takes to TikTok to show her "sun-kissed" skin but is hit with backlash from people who said the methods could "premature" her skin.
Other TikTokers have been quick to warn of the dangers of sunbed use, with some expressing concerns over side effects from using the unregulated nasal product.
However, Eden made her feelings quite clear in a recent clip, where she lip-synced the lyrics: "Nah hold up, I still don't give a f***," adding: "For real, let me be."
In another clip she shared her sunbed routine – including using the nasal spray and some tanning juice drops to allow the colour develop better while in the sunbed.
"I've already got a good colour but in the past three days, I used these every night because I haven't been getting much sunbed," Eden explains.
"Some days I use an intensifying gel – I only use a tiny bit of that and I mix it with my other cream – it's good it has a thick consistency and you don't feel greasy."
But some viewers were horrified to see the amount of products she uses in order to achieve her ideal skin colour.
"I know you love it and nothing I or anyone say will deter you, but I'm gonna say this," one user warned, "my friend died of skin cancer at 26 from doing the same."
A second added: "I got melanoma skin cancer at the age 23 after using sunbeds for years. Please don't use them."
