Can You Really Get A Tan From A Pill?

Some influencers are recommending taking “tanning pills” to get a summer glow without the harmful rays. PhD candidate Carter Gottlieb admits that he stays out of the sun and lives “like a vampire”, but supplements have helped him look tan. “People never told me my skin was glowing before and now they do,” Gottlieb said. Experts say the active ingredient in these supplements is usually canthaxanthin, which is similar to the ingredient that gives carrots their color. Doctors warn that these supplements can build up and cause eye damage, make skin more sensitive to the sun, and even turn your skin different colors. One TikToker, Sona Fionn, says the supplements turned her orange. (dailymail.co.uk)
