TANNING SOLUTIONS
Tanning solutions (MT2) are an extra strength melanin boosting protein product, available as a nasal spray or injectable. These solutions act on melanocytes to stimulate the body's natural production of melanin. Melanin is the substance in skin that produces skin pigment. By increasing melanin prodcution, the skin's natural pigment becomes darker, or 'tanned'. Rather than develop a tan by spending excessive hours in harsh, ageing UV rays, by increasing the body's melanin production, you are able to achieve that all year round sun-kissed glow by adding a biological protection to your skin against damaging UV rays, rather than extensively subjecting your body to them.
MT2 Vials are sold and shipped as a dry powder in a glass vial which needs to be reconstituted as per our recommended user guide. Vials are not shipped pre-mixed as once mixed with sterile water, it has to be kept in the fridge or it will lose its tanning potency and has a shelf life of 12 weeks once reconstituted. Therefore, if buying multiple vials, the dry powder vials can be stored in the freezer until you are ready to use and reconstitute.
Our Tanning Nasal Sprays are packed and shipped in a cooler bag with icepacks to maintain the products highest level of potency, ready for use. Store product in fridge once received. A lot of other tanning nasal spray retailers fail to inform customers that tanning nasal sprays must be kept cool in transport to maintain its highest level of tanning potency. At Galaxy Tan, we stride ourselves in providing the highest quality tanning products, ready to use.
What are the benefits of Tanning Solutions?
Tanning Solutions are used primarily for tanning and darkening skin pigmentation.
SKIN DAMAGE PROTECTION
By promoting deep pigmentation via melanin production deep in the skin Melanotan II helps skin to tan faster and more efficiently, generating a natural defense against UV rays.
MINIMAL UV EXPOSURE
Tanning Solutions build natural melanin within your body to deepen skins pigment, meaning the amount of exposure time to UV rays to achieve a deep and dark tan is drastically reduced.
Whilst UV and sun exposure will fast track the speed and intensity of your tan, as little as 10 minutes will achieve this and skin pigment will still continue to darken even without UV exposure. This means users don't have to expose themselves to the harsh, damaging and ageing UV rays from the sun for extended periods in order to develop a deep tan.
LONG LAST TAN
Whilst natural tans fade in a matter of days, particularly over the winter months, Tanning Solutions allows you to enjoy a deep warm tan for months with minimal to no UV exposure all year round.
Which method is better: Injections or Nasal?
Both methods achieve the same end results although it is important to note that Injections are the most effective way to administrate the tanning solution and results are seen the fastest.
Nasal Sprays are less effective up to 50% because the nasal passages have poor absorption rate, therefore you have to apply the nasal spray at least two times more than the injection method.
Nasal Sprays are great for those with needle phobias and on the go.
How are Tanning Solutions administered?
Tanning Solutions are administered either nasally with our Nasal Sprays where the protein is absorbed into the blood through the mucous membrane linings of the sinuous cavities, or via subcutaneous lipid injection with our Vial Kits via a small insulin needle into fatty deposits of the stomach, inner thighs or buttocks.
Dosages
Tanning Solution dosages will vary slightly from person to person as everyone is different, and there is no standard dose that will fit everyone as people have different weights, skin types, preferred tan level and some people respond to the peptide better than others. While we provide recommended dosages, these can be adjusted to suit the person.
Phases
There are two phases while using Tanning Solutions (loading phase and maintenance phase)
During the loading phase, the Tanning Solution is administered daily until you achieve your desired colour (which usually occurs between 2-3 weeks).
Once you have your desired colour, move into the maintenance phase. During maintenance, the Taning Solution is administered once or twice a week to maintain your skin pigmentation.
The Tanning Solution is active in your body for 36 hours after administration therefore it is recommended to get some safe UV exposure within this time frame for faster activation.
Most people when just starting to use the Tanning Solution will experience mild nausea right after administration, therefore it is advisable to administer the protein before going to bed so you can sleep it off. This feeling is normal and will usually dissipate after around a week of use. Alternatively you can lower your dosage to suit.
