Carrots help suntan?

[sair5412]

Is it true that if you eat 2 carrots a day everyday for 2 weeks before you go on holiday, you will go browner?

Or would you need to eat more than that? Or is it a complete myth altogether?

Thanks

u better off taking the beta carotene pre tan tablets from holland and barrett that ges on same theory.

A couple of carrots a day can�t do any harm, but do not overdose - your skin will turn yellow! - It's called Carotenemia! Consume too many carrots or drink too much juice and your skin, mostly the hands, will turn yellowish-orange.

ha ha ! So i won't go a nice deep even brown?! I don't mind orange! Just not white!

Oh I don't want yellow hands!

I will try the holland abd barrett idea and the carrots and let you know what happens to me!

Thanks guys!

(any more ideas are welcome !)

no this is not true although, if you eat tomato they have something in them that will help you to tan.... its true

anyone ever tried those holland and barret tablets ? are they any good ?

[Octavius]

No, but I tried some tablets in Holland. They were great, but I don't remember much about it.

I've tried the tablets and they really worked for me! Turned a gorgeous brown colour (but you do need sun exposure too!)
