    Default tan by injection???

    anyone else heard of this??
    or had it?

    just heard about it here in australia, so itsprobably been out for sometime lol


    apparently all you need is an injection every 3 months, and you get a tan "naturally" without UV rays etc.

    A tan "naturally" hmm

    Yes i have heard of this..... i've heard that a lot of body builders do it. I really wouldn't recommend injecting something IN TO your body to tan your skin, i have many reasons for this..... but thats just my opinion.

    Seraya.

    do you know what causes the tan? This sounds really weird!

    I know my mom took a certain medication that made her skin darken (it wasn't for that purpose, the darkening was a side-effect). Wonder if this is the same type of thing.

    I think your right scgirl,I saw a segement on t.v. about this.It was something they were injecting for weight loss,that had a side effect of making the users skin darken.Leave it to medicine to now give it to people to make them tan.I dont remember exactly what drug this was but they were saying, you get to lose weight and be tan too.

    This has been going on for a while. Melanin is the substance present in people with dark skin in high concentrations. The darker you are the more melanin you have in your skin. Lighter skinned people have significantly less melanin. Melanin was noted to have a darkening effect and is now being injected into people to obtain a tan. But, if you are super pale you'll be orange like an oompha-loompha.
