[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. For the last six weeks I’ve made a purpose to lay out for 10-20 minutes on each side depending on the UV index. This is the first time in my life I’ve ever done this. I’ve gotten a shade or two darker (and a lot more freckled 🙁) but my KP is so much better, and not just masked from the tan. It’s improved but still there on my arms and all but disappeared on most of my legs, thighs, and butt. Not only that, but ingrown hairs on my legs are much better. I always have unsightly bumps from ingrown hairs after shaving or waxing but it’s been much less of an issue this summer.  I’m happy but at the same time kind of bummed that the best treatment is damaging and not sustainable for me long term. It was a fun experiment and I’m enjoying being tanned for right now but it’s not worth the long term UV damage and cancer risk to continue.

What I don’t understand is whether it’s simply finally getting enough vitamin D or some other aspect of the UV exposure. If it’s the former, surely there is a way to achieve it via supplements, right? [/quote]
You can buy 50,000 iU supplements on the internet; this is what my doc recommends (once a week).[/quote]
