steve_b_wales Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 As I'm fair skinned, I burn quite easily while on holidays, despite using high factor sun creams.It was mentioned to me that there are 'tanning' pills available, that help the body produce a natural tan. Looking on the internet, there are literally 100's of different makes. Does anyone know, or has tried a certain make with good results. I don't want to take something and look like I've been 'Tango'd. Thanks Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libs Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 The general gist of theses pills is to provide the basic components that make up melanin. I think words such as PABA and various 'L-whatever' and 'T-something' will appear on labels, these are just amino acids that the good doctors out there have found we need to go brown. Better still, and I doubt you need me to tell you this, slap on a well rated UVA/UVB sunscreen and you'll be happy and melanoma free!

J@mes Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 **** buying ANYTHING like that off the internet :blink: I burn quite easily too, so before I go on holiday I go and have a few tanning sessions just to build up a base layer. Sounds gay, is gay. But not half as bad as spending your holiday covered in third degree burns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8landy Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 The misses had them once and I used them! I did go very brown/orange. Strange thing was my finger nails whent bright orange! BUT I still used a good uva/uvb 30 then 25 then 15. This is all sounding very gay as I type so I am signing off :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
