2) Motor Oil-diesel oil: My brother used this. He got browner but I do not think its safe so I passed! He got super super brown.
We were introduced to both methods by friends who are gypsies. Its a very old gypsie tradition. Gypsies are generally very high maintainance but often use unconventional method.

I look so nice & exxotical lol!
Once more "exxotical" is a racially insensitive term at best, and racist at worst.
Second, OP, go ahead and use the iodine all you like, everyone else, it is incredibly stupid and dangerous to use iodine to stain your skin. Iodine tincture is actually potassium iodide, a salt that if can cause an allergic reaction in many. Additionally, covering your entire body in it, even if diluted with baby oil (which btw it will not be particularly soluble in) could potentially be dangerous, resulting in skin issues and if used in large enough amounts iodine poisoning.
As for motor oil, maybe we will let Darwin take care of his own with that one.

Its one week before 2014. Exxotical is the 2014 term for racially ambiguous. But who wants to type ""racially ambiguous"" and risk misspelling ""ambiguous"" when you can just say ""exxotical"". Everyone aspires to look like that thats why people tan, lighten up. CD folk can be so uptight sometimes!

We call it "Baby Earl" & "Iodine", I'm a native Brooklynite
I have been using baby earl & iodine since the 70's. It sure does make you dark. There is no skin protection either. I also had skin cancer 3 times, 30 years later. So I basically stopped doing that in the mid 90's, but the damage was done....not preaching, but reality is reality is.
this was a very old school method, especially when you were up on tar beach.
It's funny how back then you had to lay out for a full 8 hours to get color, yet today all you need is an hour or two. I don't care what anyone else says, I think the sun is stronger for some reason now.
and the tanning parlor was also no help to me either, I did that too......but I won't even go there.

No, it's the ignorant term used by pretentious twits who are about as sensitive as a heifer.
As for misspelling, your posts are riddled with them, trust me when I say to you no one could possible think less of you for spelling, "racially ambiguous" wrong.
A history lesson for you. Tanning as a socially desired appearance came into popularity, not to look mixed race (really how insensitive to mixed race people can you be?) but rather because it suggested one lived a life of luxury that afforded enough leisure time to pursue outdoor sports as a hobby and thus acquire a tan.
I never heard the term "exxotical" before the OPs posts, it sounds really stupid and ignorant to me.
As for baby oil and iodine, people used that decades ago and it would turn their skin ORANGE - not pretty. Not safe, either. Can't believe anyone would still do that!
