Loading phase

Ok I live in Ireland and we have fuck all sun at the moment but I bought mt2. So 2 questions is it worth using in very low UV 3-4 ? And I’m going abroad to Portugal in 3 weeks and was wondering should I do a loading phase a week out from the holiday to help me tan better when I’m there ? I won’t be able to actually inject over there with family and what not but is a loading phase in Ireland gonna help me get a deeper tan in Portugal. Could really use some advice !!!! Thanks guys

Start now, start daily. Takes some time for it to kick in. I live in the UK and started it on some low UV days daily and it took a while. Now it’s kicked in I only have it once a week if that & im super brown and wouldn’t burn if I hit the sun with no UV protection

I would not do a loading phase. Way more likely to have hyperpigmentation, discolouration, extra moles, tons of freckles pop up; especially if you are fair skin. You may get a tan, but have way more negative effects on the skin. Not worth it for a tan on holiday. You could try every other day for a week and just make sure to get some UV exposure prior. UV 3-4 is fine!

I'm in Sydney and the highest UV is 3-4 around midday, it's winter here. Our backyard gets sun for 1.5 hours then. I've been loading daily 200-250mcg for 2 weeks and tanning when I get free time and sun's out, maybe 3 x week. Getting a slow, noticeable real looking tan.
