A member asked:
Is there a pill that can make skin darker/tanner? if so any side affects. i just want a way to get tan
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO. : There is no pill which is safe and that can make your natural skin darker. The color of your skin has to do with the amount of melanin in the deep layer of your skin, and you don't want to take a drug that fools around with mother nature here. Take a vacation in a warm sunny place, use spf 15 skin lotion…..Or just fogetabotit.
