I've always wanted to be tanner. I am able to tan, but it would take quite a while. I am a red head, but not so much. I'm kind of... blonde/red/brown, depends on how long I've been out in the sun, lol. I have freckles on my body as well. I'm 18 years old too. Will this stuff work to my benefit? I heard your freckles get darker which I wouldn't mind so much, as long as the res tof me gets noticeably darker. The reason I want to so much is because I would look so much bigger and ripped if you could see shadow on my body, but since I'm quite pale, you can't. Any suggestions on if I should take this or not? Plus, it has no "terrible side effects" and results will go away in a few months once ya stop (if you don't like it)... Right?
