Tanning: Psoralens

Tadger · Oct 1, 2003

I'm just wondering how many of you use oxsoralen or trisoralen and what your experiences are. I'm half mexican, but you'd never be able to tell by lookin at me. I'm pretty damned pale. lol. I was kinda playin with the idea of pickin up some oxsoralen and usin that before hitting the tanning booth for a couple weeks.

man, I thought I was the only one. My grandpappy was pretty much a half-breed Cherokee Indian. He and I looked nearly identical exept his dark skin and my nordic compexion. I have used oxsoralen to tan and it worked pretty decent. I had a really cool doctor at one time. (insurance company changed and had to find a new one) I told him what I wanted it for and he had never heard of it. He read about it, called a pharmacist and then wrote the script. I really cant remember the dose I used, but it did make me a little bit sensitive to the tanning bed, but instead of staying red, I actually got a decent bronze color. Which is rare for me unless I use a sunless tanner.

I used them last year and Results were great. My skin is light and I never could get a decent bronze. I took 2 tablets per day for 7 day and I got a great tan. This year I got a bronze colour w.o using oxoralen so seems my skin was sensibilized for last year? I am not sure anyway something changed.

Be careful to cover your genitals and your eyes in days you take oxoralen. I
