hello! i recently am trying to get into this community again (kind of took a break bc of school). i’m 19f, wanting to improve colouring. i tan very easily, but upcoming winter it’s a little impossible for me, so i was wondering if anyone has any recommendations/advice on beta-carotene, astaxanthin & lycopene? i also can use self tanner, but its not the healthy hue which i want to have :/
 
Mt1 or mt2 is good, pin 150-300 mcg 4 times a week intill you get the tan you want then either come off of it or mantain with 100-200 mcg twice a week its realtivily cheap and will last you a long time, just make sure too get it from a truated source and always pin sub q. The risks are very minimal too, however if you dont wanna do a pep just sunbath 2 hours a day with spf50++++ and nake sure everywhere is covered:D

It's all good but are you sure you want a tan to begin with? It might not be worth it
i’m naturally tan so i thought it’d be nice 💔 i can look kind of dead in winter though because i pale easily… but i also dk if it might be good for contrast

Oh honey that is not how it's done. If you're pale just hood it around with scarf and jackets. Also if that's not good, you can do tan-detam in cycles.

What is your ethnicity/country of origin

i see!! ty! so would you not recommend supplements? i dont really have access to sources where i’d get pep so that might be a bit tricky for me if i do want to try 😓

true .. hmm i’m s/e asian so that’s why but my tan tends to not be the shade/hue i like so that’s why i thought something like a supplement might help to make it more goldeny

Idk about korea but china and japan has some crazy sources. If you're from Korea you can just ship it from Japan.

Chill n***a just buy a self tan and see for yourself wether you like it or not.

Still If you want high dimo maintain a good contract with white skin and black hairs. Also pale can be crazy cute too wayta n***a. Dahyun from Twice is quite pale but has crazy smv.

Skin colour is a tough issue too. Ik people who were assaulted in Japan for having darker skin tone. I'm golden (from India) and Even though I would beat brown/light browns theoretically, pale moggers are my biggest nightmare.

If you want to continue you can maxx apply SPF 50 PA++++ and tan naturally or under a UV bed. 6-10 mg of beta carotene might help in colouring but tan not so much. Best bet is peps like MT1 or MT2

I put Good efforts writing solutions but you n*****s never rep me or mark as solution 😙✌🏻

It's okay honey. So basically you ask your questions in this section and the n***a who answered/ solved your problem gets the huge opportunity. So you make em as solution.

Then when you open that n*****s page it will show the number of solutions the n***a has given. It's a status symbol and boosts reputation of the n***a in the forum. Now mark my reply as the solution if your problem was solved 🥰

open vault is a good place too find sources, i would suggest supplements but not really for tanning, beta cartine is good for overall health but as for tanning results there is very little supported evidence and overall results, it can 100% make you slightly tanner but the diffrence is going too be very very little, the only other thing i could suggest is tanning beds however you risk cancer with that but aslong as you do it in moderation the risk is lowered.
