    Would you not not just get yourself a daily moisturiser with a tint in it OP and not keep putting potentially dangerous substances in/on your body?

    If this is true and you already self medicated to lighten your skin and ****ed it up then maybe you should have learned your lesson and not tried another "miracle" cure from the internet? Go talk to a bloody dermatologist do not take beta carotene

    My grandmother was very fond of Biblical quotations. One of her favourites was
    "As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly." Seems to apply perfectly in this case.

    I have a friend who took beta carotene for a while. She looked like a carrot. I don't understand this obsession with tan that you have, OP. Stop messing with your skin, you've done enough damage already.

    If your appearance means that much to you go and invest in a few bottles of tinted moisturiser.

    Tanning pills contain beta carotene, found in carrots, and will dye you orange; as will eating a lot of carrots. They probably aren't dangerous, but you will be as orange as a carrot and look a bit stupid.

    Why not forget about the tan altogether since 1) pills turn you orange 2) spray tans make you blotchy and orange and 3) tanning (either sunbathing or tanning beds) give you cancer? You'll look healthier, have a reduced incidence of melanoma, not dye all your clothes orange, and men will want to kiss you because they won't get all orange from you. Seriously. Natural skin tone FTW.
