I’m addicted to tanning – trolls say I look ‘great for 53’ but that’s not my age
A tanning superfan who trolls claim looks 53 has left people stunned by her real age.
Denmark’s Camilla Sørensen shared her tanning addiction on TikTok, despite being brutally trolled by social media users who thought her tanned skin only made her look younger.
The blonde influencer regularly uploads content that highlights her deeply tanned complexion and shares her extensive tanning routine with her 29,000 followers on the platform.
However, one of those videos took her page by storm after the beautiful Danish woman admitted that her confidence skyrockets when she has a deep tan.
In the now viral clipwhich has now been viewed more than 17 million times, Camilla said her confidence was so high that it was ”bigger than you think”.
Meanwhile, in another videoshe joined a TikTok trend discussing addictions and revealed that one of her habits was to assess the sun’s UV levels before tanning outdoors.
The blonde beauty also praises her ability to get a gorgeous glow quickly, writing: “While people sunbathe all summer to get a tan like mine in 2 days.”
To achieve a tanned complexion, Camilla follows a strict tanning regimen, which consists of fixed times of sun exposure, alternating with breaks.
According to the Dane, she will tan the front of her muscular body for about 20 minutes, after which she will focus on her back for another 20 minutes, alternating with additional 15-minute sessions.
Her extensive routine also includes refreshing dips in the pool and splashes of salt water, after which she resumes her sessions by tanning her back and front for another 15 minutes.
In total, it is estimated that the blonde tans her curves for a whopping four hours per session, reported by Mail Online.
Although she may be very happy with her appearance, the reactions online are fierce, with many people saying she looks older than she is.
Camilla was told she looked ‘amazing for 53’, while others insisted she looked the same age as her dad after posting a cute video of them dancing.
One of the mean people said, “You look so old, I thought you were dating.”
Despite her love of a tan, her extreme tanning habit has alarmed many concerned viewers, who are warning the 26-year-old about skin cancer and premature aging.
Advice for adults and children on sunscreen and sun safety in the UK and beyond
Experts at the NHS warn that sunburn increases the risk of skin cancer.
They argue that, despite common misconception, sunburn “doesn’t just happen on holiday”.
This means that in the UK you can get sunburned even on cloudy days.
“There is no safe or healthy way to tan. A tan does not protect your skin from the damaging effects of the sun.”

“You’ve aged 30 years,” one TikTok user commented.
“Oh Lord, how old I am,” wrote another.
“Be careful not to get leather skin,” someone else warned.
“That reminded me to reapply my sunscreen,” wrote one beloved aesthetician.
Sun safety tips
Even though it may be cloudy this summer, you can still get sunburned. That’s why it’s important to wear SPF every day, regardless of the weather.
The NHS advise to ‘spend time in the shade when the sun is at its strongest’.
In the UK this is between 11am and 3pm from March to October.
Make sure that you:
- spend time in the shade between 11am and 3pm
- never burn
- cover yourself with suitable clothing and sunglasses
- be extra careful with children
- Use at least factor 30 sunscreen.
