This isn't about shaming anyone's choices - it's about understanding the complex psychology behind why a generation that knows everything about skincare is still choosing to tan. From celebrity influences to mental health benefits, we're breaking down all the factors at play.

✨ **Key Takeaways:**

The reasons go way deeper than Y2K nostalgia. We're talking about social bonding, mental health, false security from skincare knowledge, and the powerful influence of social media culture.
