Tied to the launch of CeraVe's new Invisible Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50, the series will see the transformation of a sun-soaked college student backyard into a sun-safe oasis, starting with the demolition of a tanning bed in episode one.

Subsequent episodes will drop through the week, with the final episode showing an MTV Cribs-style walkthrough of the completed renovation.

“With viral trends like ‘tanmaxxing’ and ‘UV Index hacking’, and Google searches for ‘tanning’ at its highest point over the past five years, we knew that these habits needed an overhaul, quite literally a renovation, and that is what started to spark the creative."
