@drjessicawu: Do tanning gummies work? And are they safe? Some of you asked me, so I ordered some to find out. Typically they contain Beta-carotene, a type of vitamin A that’s a pigment, giving carrots their orange color. While they promise to “support” and “amplify” tanning, it’s not really a tan. Instead, they stain your skin orange, which may or may not look good on you. 🥕 You could get the same effect by eating carrots or drinking carrot juice. ☠️ High doses of synthetic beta carotene are associated with liver toxicity – as well as lung cancer in those who smoke. 😎 I’ll be skipping the gummies and using my @L’Oréal Paris self-tanning towelettes instead.   #tanninggummies #tanning #tan #skinhealth #BeverlyHillsDermatologist #DrJessicaWu
