Skin Quality Poll
01/27/09 at 16:34:12
 
Hi Guys, i'm back, been off the good stuff for almost a year and TERRIBLY miss my melano-Tan!
I've been trying different self-tanners and am absolutely tired of doing it, and actually must say, my skin looks older and rougher when i use them, probably also because its such a mess to apply and never comes out truly even like with melanotan.
 
This time around i'm gonna take it slow though, and also use melanotan-1 instead of II, because as some of you know, i feel it gave my skin a more aged apperance, as far as wrinkles and roughness of skin goes.
So i wanna take it slow, eventually get a nice dark-olive skin tone and leave it at that. No more "lets see how dark i can get"-kinda stuff!
 
But since this board has grown so immensly, i thought, a poll might give us a better picture to what the majority on here have experienced in regards to skin-quality. i've read some users actually feel that their skin is better and more youthful-looking, while others don't really comment on any skin-quality-changes, so let's see, what we can come up with.
 
anyways, glad to be back Wink

Hey there soulFinger,
 
Don't tell me, you're a smoker? No wonder your skin looked like crap!
 
Have you seen this thread?

hey Scott, yes indeed i WAS (check the electronic smoking-thread), hopefully i'll be able to reverse some of the damage done in my 14 years of smoking,  undoubtably some of it being skin-damage.
 
but i also have to mention, both of my parents are and were heavy smokers for most of their lifes and show little signs of skin-aging for their age (so the good genes should speak for me), also my girlfriend who is a little older than me has been smoking for along time and has nearly perfect skin with no wrinkles whatsoever.
 
so while smoking most definitely contributes to skin-aging, i think those signs might show up really late in life and not being as detrimental as skin-ager number one, which is of course uv-exposure.
 
and like i posted before, my recent skin-problems surfaced right after a long (and pretty heavy-dosage) course of melanotan II, which is, why i made that connection in the first place and subsequently stopped.
seeing the growing numbers of experimenters, i thought a poll could give us some more light on this matter.
 
maybe i should add an option for smokers on this poll?

You can't really compare the experience you've had and your skin to others who've not used melanotan II.  
Conjecturally speaking I think the fact that you've been a long time smoker is likely the leading factor into the experience you had with your skin relative to taking melanotan II.  
If my conjecture is right then it's very advisable that long time smokers avoid using melanotan II as it will likely accentuate any previous smoking related skin damage.

So you think, melanotan actually accelerates the showing of skin-damage?
that's an interesting theory, definitely something we should look into, so people that have been smoking or had extensive sun-exposure in the past can be warned before starting with this peptide.
 
i'll just add an option for smokers on here.

No, I think that melanotan II may make existing skin damage in heavy and/or long term smokers more visible but again this is conjecture on my part. Smoking is extremely bad for one's skin. Anyone not wanting to have their skin become old and wrinkly prematurely should completely avoid smoking.

How do I see the results of a poll without voting? The information is useful to me but I'm not going to skew the poll by voting just to be able to view it.

i'm actually not quite sure, how it works, but i think, once the first person has voted, it will show the graph?
