Pain = Beauty! Will you inject- a-tan???
November 24, 2008
This is by far the craziest thing I have ever heard but very exciting!
Sunbeds and tanning lotions could be a thing of the past thanks to scientists who have made a drug that creates an instant tan – Welcome Epitan.
The procedure is an injection that is injected into your skin that triggers the production of melanin, the brown pigment that gives your skin that lovely bronzed look.
Studies in Australia have shown that individuals who get 10 injections in two weeks develop a tan that lasts at least two months without any sun exposure.
So if you are a seeking that all over tan this will definitely be the best and safer option for you as there are no risks of skin cancer and ageing to the skin.
I will most certainly be trying this out and will keep you posted to let you know if it works – unfortunately will have to wait 2 years before it comes to England. If it is granted it will be hitting the states soon so I may have to make a trip over there sooner to have it done as I am to intrigued!
Tan-tas-tic!!!
Hello Beauty Diva,
I heard that this injection is still under review and is not completely finished. People are using this when it may not be safe to do so!
Make sure you don’t use it Beauty Diva!!! x
I will wait until it has been tested on a few more people but the people it has been tested on so far seem to have had no problems.
It just seems to good to be true, 10 injections in 2 weeks and you will look like you have been Barbados for 3 months and you do not even need to get your skin any sunlight.
Thanks for your advice though Trev x
I could not think of anything worse that getting injections for a tan…… I am pasty and love it…. xx
I am not afraid of needles for beauty. I would happily have an injection for a tan. It is safer than spending minutes under a UV light.
Some people look beautiful with pasty skin so you must be one of those lucky girls! x
