It happens to babies
that eat a lot of pre-package baby foods. Most of them are primarily carrot.
also, what about eating
tons of tomatoes? I know that too many carrots can turn someone\'s skin orange, but what about tomatoes?
read
this:
Myth: Too many carrots will turn skin orange.
Fact: It can happen, but you would have to eat a lot, said
Chris Rosenbloom, chair of the nutrition department at Georgia State University. In fact, you would probably have to
start chugging carrot juice to get that orange glow. The phenomenon is called hypercarotenemia and the orange tint
shows up mostly in the palms of the hands. Never fear, Rosenbloom said. This happens because the body does not use
all of the beta-carotene from carrots and the resulting skin discoloration is harmless.

Just eat lot\'s of
chocolate. Ofcourse then you won\'t be taking your shirt off to show off your chocolate tan.

so, can anyone
confirm that tanning pills work or not?
I thought there was scientific backing so I must be mistaken. I heard
there\'s an active ingredient that encourages Melanin production. Haven\'t heard anything about supplements.
So I did a search on wok.mimas.ac.uk but didn\'t find much. Anyone know the name of the active
ingredient?
The tanning pills here in the UK are expensive @ 60p a day in £40 boxes from Boots. Really want to be
sure they work eh?
I\'m thinking of taking them to not stand out quite so much in my girlfriends country.

That pill/injection is not on
the market yet. It has been tested for years and results are looking very good. I\'ll look for the company that is
making the stuff in a second. The tanning pills that are out on the market now have nothing to do with what you are
talking about.

well my skin can at times just appear very flat and
dull, and not vibrant and healthy, sometimes its pale, sometimes even slightly a yellowish colour which I hate.
I
heard that canthaxanthin will make the skin appear \"redder\". I was wondering if anyone had had experience with
this stuff. Its often found in tanning pills.
With a tan, my skin appears redder and browner, much nicer. But
there\'s not much sun here [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

One time I looked in the mirror and was like, \"What the [censored]? You\'re yellow, dude.\"
So I sat in a sauna: Immediate end of problem. When I got out I had a nice rosy glow that lasted. It was toxins of
some kind sitting in my skin. Try it.

I have never used it, but I know that it contains both dha and erythulose
(the active ingredients that \"tans\" the skin). Many tanning creams use either or. This one uses both. You should
give it a try, but if you do, please tell me BEFORE you apply it so I can give you some much needed tips.

Question: when
you\'re putting on tanning lotion, what the hell happens to your palms?!?!
[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
\"You know, your palms are supposed to be lighter than the
rest of your body...not vice-versa...\"

I made a joke out
of this, but I guess I\'m seriously asking.
