I'm extremely pale so for me this is a NSV....
Has anyone else noticed that as they lose weight they look more tan?
I have not been to a tanning bed and live in the PaCific NW so no chance of natural sun tanning here lol

    not heard of that before...have you been eating a lot of carrots? or food with beta-caortene e.g. orange/yellow fruit and veg? that can make your skin go more yellow/orange apparently...

    yes, it's that healthy glow coming through. (imho, anyway!) I look more tan now, and now that I'm healthier, I can go outside and I no longer burn (HUGE weird NSV). I think it's just because our bodies are happy!

    I like that idea! Hopefully I won't burn this summer... Whenever summer gets gets here, its been a long winter
  • Yes! I thought it was just me?!?! And I live in Ireland so its definitely not from the sun haha... It's probably just our skin getting healthier :)

    Maybe it's just better blood flow and your skin is pinking up a bit. I have the same thing. Great to hear!!
