Will darker / tanned skin make my muscles look more defined?

[Anonymous]

OK so I work out every other day, and I'm a pretty pale-ish guy (not snow white but pretty pale). My core body doesn't get much sun (chest, abs, back, shoulders etc.)

so my question to you is, would darker or tanned skin make my muscles look more defined ? ask for a pic if you want and ill message you with one

definitely will I am moderately pastey myself and have abs (althought my abs are a little darker for some reason) but I even notice how much abs looked in low-light. Its just that with darker its like if you have black lines on piece of paper, the darker they are the more noticable they will be. I suggest sunless taning (like a lotion or spray) some of them really work and some are made specificly for men (because of body hair)

yeah it does because it tightens your skin and is gives you more of the cut look

for real? never knew it actually tightened your skin haha

[rhiluvzhugz]

Yeah it will. Why do you think body builders use fake tan and get all oiled up? to create an illusion! LOL I am a makeup artist :P I know how it works lol spray tan professionals can even spray a darker tan in certain spot to make you look even bigger :)

ok but like a natural beach tan, would that bring out more definition ? or would I have to use product ?

[rhiluvzhugz]

yeah a natural beach tan will too... but I recommend against it .. you don't want premature wrinkles! lol

[Asker]

nah but I'm not gonna like lay under the sun lol, I mean ill be chilling with friends, playing, swimming etc.

and not everyday either, like twice a week ?

[rhiluvzhugz]

hahaa just being out in the sun is enough to do damage! ha ha I live in Australia! the sun here is intense! lol

we learn this stuff at school. Don't you?

[Asker]

no lol

[rhiluvzhugz]

WOW ! that's ridiculous! its a life skill! everyone should know abouut sun protection! :)

if you get a natural tan : the tan is the result of your skin trying to protect itself from the UVA and UVB rays. :) you should google it lol

good luck.. and if you decide to stay natural.. use sun screen. (You can still get a minor tan with it.. but not much)

If you go to good salon, they can use tanning spray to make your muscles pop. That being said, I hate! when guys tan.

Yup. But don't be too obsessed. Skin cancer certainly isn't more attractive.

yes it does. that's why body builders get very dark tans or wear dark paint during competitions
