TEST VETS tan skin from test?

[Bruce]

i know there is a similar thread about getting tan while on, but this is my first high test run and i am very colorful, not red but it looks like i just got out of the sun. its not my face and i'm in a cold local so its not sun. my back almost looks burned, when i workout i get even darker its crazy. wondered it that is the test, i have heard of people having higher body temps when on test, also i know more blood is flowing so is that it?

same thing happens to me, I think it has to do with holding water and raised blood pressure. Just my thoughts though, nothing to back it up with. When I started ameridex it helped a little hence the water retention theory. Raised blood pressure will deff give you the red faced look as well. I always looked like I just got back from the beach and had plenty of people comment as such, no sympathy for the devil though, buy the ticket, take the ride.

think you guys are grasping at straws.l dont buy shooting test will have any effect on your tanning rate.

my skin does get darker, not really red either, while using test

 

[fugetaboutit]

It happens to me as well.

I don’t know about this. Anyone have scientific explanation for this? Increased blood flow near the surface of the skin "could" theoretically aid in the rate at which you tan - though I would like to see some actual evidence to back this up.

i think its due to higher blood pressure while on test. i get really flush and turn really red especially when on my last reps of a heavy set. my veins also pop out like crazy when this happens too.

Your liver values could be suffering causing jaundice......

 

[DannoMight]

doesn't jaundice cause your eyes and fingernails to turn yellow? plus you will lose your appetite. i also get a higher temp at night (nightsweats) from being on any aas.

 

[Lupercal CATS]

I don't tan very well at all but when I am on a cycle I don't burn nearly as easily as I normally would.

 

[Its All Genetics]

jaundice gets you yellow. orals would give you more liver probs.


maybe cause ur pumped up as shit in the gym and feeling like a maniac use sooo pumped its getting you red, you know cause like ur going sooooo hard in the gym.
just my 2 cents... maybe that doesnt make sense....

It is very possible through the dopaminergic mechanism of action of test.Test causes increases in dopamine synthesis and can increase melanin production by activating msh to secrete melanin via the melanocytes.Any dopaminergic can increase colour and mitigate burning via increased melanin production.Solarens increase the conversion of L-tyrosine to DOPA and increase melanin production which in turn increase the rate of tanning and also can get you darker faster.L-tyrosine has also shown to facilitate tanning.
Where drugs or supplements which increase serotonin and slightly down-regulate dopamine can cause increased photosensitivity to uva and uvb with easy burning being common.Drugs like the SSRI's and the tricyclics like clomipramine which are very strong sri's have increased burning as an adverse effect also herbs like St.Johns Wort(Hypericum Perforatum) have been known to cause sensitivity to the sun due to it's strong serotenergic action.

Good post by B1, so it seems. All I know is while I'm on test I look a little darker.

sounds logical, who knew? live and learn. been wrong before.

still dont buy a very fairskinned guy, who could never tan before, could suddenly be able to tan by shooting test.

also, jaundice has nothing to do with tanning.

i'm not saying i'm a light guy who doesn't get tan, i get real tan in the sun, i'm just saying i'm in gloomy weather and my chest looks like i just left the beach

bruce it is because of your increased red blood cell count. when i am "oN" i get people all day long asking me if i was out in the sun..
the pizza guy comes to the door and is like "your total comes to..holy shit man you been out in the sun ?"
all the fucking time. i am red as fuck when i'm on, it's almost a dead giveaway now to those that know me.

If you have noticed that much "flush-ness"

and

"body heat",

on test,

I would check my B/P.
