Read our privacy policy Kim Kardashian defended using tanning beds, claiming it helps with her psoriasis condition. In one part of the clip, she reclines in a tanning bed, saying: “I’m Kim Kardashian, of course I have a tanning bed — and a red light bed — in my office.” Allure Magazine took issue with Kardashian co-signing tanning beds, and pleaded on X, formerly known as Twitter, with the headline, “Please, Kim Kardashian, don’t try to normalize tanning beds.” Kardashian then replied to Allure‘s post defending her tanning bed use. “But I don’t use it too often.” According to the National Institute of Health, tanning beds are a popular remedy for psoriasis, but they were also classified as a carcinogen by the World Health Organization in 2009. Although the tanning beds may provide Kardashian with temporary relief from her symptoms, she’s at a higher risk of skin cancer as a result.
