TANNING BEST PRACTICES.
Start Slow: Begin with short tanning sessions and gradually increase exposure time as your skin builds tolerance. This helps minimise the risk of sunburn and allows your skin to adapt to UV radiation gradually.
Use Sunscreen: Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF (Sun Protection Factor) before tanning. Choose a sunscreen that is suitable for your skin type and offers protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Reapply as directed, especially after swimming or sweating.
Protect Sensitive Areas: Shield sensitive areas such as the face, lips, ears, and eyes from direct sunlight. Consider wearing a wide-brimmed hat, UV-blocking sunglasses, and lip balm with SPF to provide additional protection.
Stay Hydrated: Proper hydration is crucial for maintaining healthy skin and maximising the benefits of tanning. Drink plenty of water before, during, and after tanning to prevent dehydration.
Practice Even Exposure: Rotate your body periodically during tanning sessions to ensure an even tan. Avoid staying in one position for too long to prevent uneven coloration.
Moisturise Regularly: Keep your skin moisturised to maintain its health and hydration. After tanning, apply a nourishing lotion or moisturiser to help preserve your tan and prevent dryness.
Monitor Your Skin: Regularly check your skin for any changes, such as unusual moles, spots, or discolouration. If you notice any concerning changes, consult a healthcare professional promptly.
Respect Your Skin’s Limits: Every individual’s skin is different, so it’s important to listen to your body and respect its limits. Avoid overexposure to UV radiation and don’t push your skin beyond its tolerance level.
Seek Professional Advice: If you have any concerns or questions about tanning, it’s recommended to consult with a dermatologist or healthcare professional who can provide personalised guidance based on your skin type and medical history.
Remember, safe and responsible tanning practices prioritise the health of your skin. It’s crucial to find a balance that allows you to enjoy the sun/UV beds while minimising the risks associated with UV radiation.
Bathing: immediately after tanning is generally not recommended for several reasons.
Skin Sensitivity: After tanning, your skin may become more sensitive due to increased blood flow and the effects of UV radiation. Bathing with hot water can further aggravate this sensitivity and potentially lead to discomfort or irritation.
Moisture Loss: Tanning can cause some moisture loss from the skin. Bathing immediately after tanning, especially with hot water and harsh soaps, can further strip away moisture and natural oils from the skin. This can contribute to dryness, flakiness, and potentially affect the longevity of your tan.
Melanin Development: Tanning and Melanotan stimulates the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin darkening. It takes some time for melanin to fully develop and settle into the skin. Bathing immediately after tanning may disrupt this process and potentially interfere with the desired outcome of your tan.
Tan Setting: Allowing your skin to cool down and settle after tanning helps in “setting” the tan. Bathing with hot water immediately after tanning can potentially cause the skin to return to its normal temperature more rapidly, which may affect the development and longevity of your tan.
To optimise the results of your tanning session, it is generally recommended to wait at least 2-4 hours before taking a bath or shower. This allows your skin to cool down, the melanin to further develop, and helps maintain the moisture balance in your skin. It’s also advisable to use lukewarm water.
MELANOTAN COURSE:
Loading Phase: Start with a daily dosage of Melanotan for the initial 7-21 days. Follow the optimal dosage instructions provided on our site.
Maintenance Phase: Once the loading phase is complete, transition to the maintenance phase. Reduce the dosage to a weekly or bi-weekly basis, depending on your desired level of tan maintenance. It’s important to follow the specific guidelines and dosage instructions provided by your Melanotan supplier.
TAN ROUTINE:
Preparing for Tanning: Before tanning, ensure your skin is clean, dry, and free of any lotions or oils. Exfoliating the skin a day before tanning can help achieve an even tan.
Sunscreen Application: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an appropriate SPF to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Remember to choose a sunscreen that does not interfere with the efficacy of Melanotan.
Tanning Time and Frequency: Begin with shorter tanning sessions, gradually increasing the duration based on your skin’s tolerance and the guidelines provided by the tanning equipment manufacturer. It’s important to avoid excessive exposure to UV radiation.
Hydration: Stay hydrated before, during, and after tanning to help maintain healthy skin and maximise the benefits of the tanning process.
Moisturise: After tanning, moisturise your skin with a hydrating lotion to help preserve your tan and maintain skin health.
Tan Maintenance: Follow the recommended Melanotan maintenance dosage to sustain your tan. Adjust the frequency as needed to maintain your desired level of tanned appearance.
