In a groundbreaking shift that has left suntan lotion companies scrambling for their lifeboats, the nation’s leading dermatologists have unanimously endorsed an entirely novel approach to achieving the coveted “ultimate glow-up”: sunning yourself inside your fridge.
For decades, skin experts preached the importance of moderate sun exposure for that healthy, radiant glow while warning against overdoing it. However, after a recent study that baffled the scientific community, dermatologists now suggest voluntarily stepping into your own kitchen appliance for your next tanning session.
Dr. Helen Frostbite, chief dermatologist at the Institute of Ironic Remedies, explained the phenomenon: “We discovered that the unique combination of cool temperatures with intermittent LED lighting in modern refrigerators stimulates a mythical process we’re calling ‘glowgenesis.’ It’s like photosynthesis but for your skin. Patients report feeling refreshed and glowing without any of the usual sunburn or peeling.”
Skeptics initially thought the advice was an elaborate prank, especially when the study’s lead researcher was seen chilling next to a display fridge and sipping chilled kombucha throughout the press conference. But with testimonials pouring in, even the biggest skeptics are facing the cold hard facts.
One early adopter, Sheila Thompson of Leeds, shared her transformation story: “I used to spend hours lounging by the pool and coming out looking like a lobster. Now, I simply stand in front of my fridge with the door open for twenty minutes, and boom—best skin of my life. Plus, I stay refreshed and save money on my electricity bill!”
The method is surprisingly simple: open your fridge, stand or sit comfortably inside (if it’s large enough), and bask in the cold LED light while sipping on a cucumber-infused water bottle. Experts caution that safety is paramount — prolonged exposure in freezers or balance-challenging tall fridges can lead to unwanted bruising or dizzy spells.
Industry experts predict the new fridge-sunning trend will make sunbeds as obsolete as floppy disks. Even beauty influencers have begun sharing “fridge sunning” selfies on social media, accompanied by hashtags like #ChilledGlow and #CoolerThanSun.
When asked about the environmental impact, eco-enthusiasts pointed out the irony: “If everyone’s sunning themselves in refrigerators, energy use might spike, but on the plus side, no one will be flocking to crowded beaches anymore.”
So, if you’re tired of sunscreens that leave you sticky and sunbathing that leaves you red, it might be time to embrace the chill and get your glow on straight from the fridge aisle—just don’t forget to grab your favorite snacks while you’re at it.
