Hi everyone,
I am a true type 1, never been anything other than white and freckly my entire life, I have ginger hair and a good few moles, and only ever burn in the sun. I am looking for some advice? I think I am ready to make a start with melanotan II and I was wondering if somebody could critique my plan, I am 5 foot 1 inch and weigh 119 pounds or 55kgs, I plan to purchase 50mg of melanotan II and use this slowly to load and maintain my colour before a trip I have planned in August.
I want to start very slowly to avoid hyper-pigmentation, darkening of freckles and moles and dark lips, circles around eyes etc. And the other reason behind starting slowly is that I want to build the melanotan II in my system before exposing myself to UVR as I am very afraid of causing long-term damage to my skin if I tan without it correctly built up in my system, so I will only do a sunbed after I have taken the full first 10mg, starting with 3 minutes a week, and building up until 8 minutes.
I plan to start using on the 1st of April, using .25mg a day on a Monday to Friday and taking the weekends off, until the 1st vial is fully used, which should take the month of April and May (is it ok to leave the vial in the fridge during this time?) . In the experience of others using melanotan II, is this be the ideal way to avoid hyper-pigmentation, or is this side-effect completely unavoidable when using melanotan II?
That is my plan for the first 10mg anyways, I would like to build up a tan before mid -August , does anybody have any suggestions as to what way I should continue loading after the first 10mg, how much should I have in my system before heading on my trip to gain a nice tan? I do not plan to bring any with me on the trip, I am going for 2 weeks and would like to get a bit darker whilst on the trip, so Id I reach maintenance before this time I was thinking I would load again 7 days before the trip, so I could go a bit darker on the trip, and control it using sunscreen if I thought I was getting too dark, which I don’t believe will happen??
Any comments/suggestions please? Any links to individual log’s, with similar skin type/usage - Anything at all is greatly appreciated
Also, can somebody differentiate the main differences between melanotan-1 and melanotan II for me?
Thanks all
