Tan tablets

[dinosawus]

Has anyone used tan tablets? Do they work? From what I've seen online there's two types, one with copper and one with beta carotene, the reviews for both seem mixed.
I don't really tan but I've booked a holiday and would like to get a light tan, I can't get on with fake tan or gradual tans so don't want to bother with them again so I'm tempted to try tan tablets as a last attempt for a tan.

No idea but the thought alone would terrify me?!
Following with interest to see what the response is....

Too much beta carotene will turn your skin orange-ish. But I think it also has negative side effects, googling it says it’s particularly dangerous for smokers

My friend used beta carotene ones she bought from Holland and Barratt (hopefully less harmful than online ones), she did go dark but with an orange hue.

I tried them and they did absolutely nothing, well- except make me feel sick when I swallowed them.

Which ones did you try @Tinyandpetite ? I might give them a go for a month before my holiday, they'll either work or they won't

My DH takes these for the nootropics rather than the tanning effects of the supplement. Even after 3 years of taking them he doesn't look anymore tan at all.
