tesosterone making my skin darker ?

[ducksoover]

I am naturally quite light skinned but since I've been pinning test my skin gets way darker, I think tesosterone is pushing my melanin production high, it is also summer too but this is very apparent now.

when I run zero test cycles, my skin gets pale as fuck, too pale if anything. I'd rather have a lighter skin tone but not ghost-like.

has anyone else experienced this?

yea, pretty common phenomenon. Don't ask me why tho

yeah I don't even use test but after eating a lot of raw liver my skin tone changes

testosterone and melanin are linked
that is the reason why some blond boys turn brown haired during puberty

Melanin production increases: Testosterone can stimulate melanocytes (cells that produce melanin), leading to darker skin, especially in areas like the face, armpits, and genitals.
