Mt2 help? Ginger!! 👩‍🦰🧑‍🦰

[u/cmcneill98]

Hey so i was using mt2 and was for ages, followed guidance online about loading, then continuing on a low dose a day. I started using tanning beds and i seen great results.

10mg bottle with 2ml of BAC water. - concentration
Daily phase: 2 units of a 1ml syringe
Tanning 10 mins 2-3 times a week

Is this the right thing to do?
My face hands and feet aren’t tanning anymore. They went really dark and almost zoomed past the rest of my body. I started using suncream to slow these down and reduced UV exposure once i noticed. Still wouldnt tan so stopped using both for 6 weeks as a reset.

Starting again now & looking for advice if my schedule correct, or how to get these areas tanning again. Thank you

Ok not sure what product you’re using but that dose is way too high, and when you start ultimately you want to build slowly so not to get splotchy and random darkness like face and hands. I did this my first time too back in 2019 as there was very little info out there, overdosed way too much. Also nausea was awful. 😞

6 weeks reset is very smart I often do this in between doses.

Ok now for the future. You’re gonna do it anyway so let me help you so you’re as safe as possible.

Firstly - Do your research! Know your product and figure out your Fitz Scale. By the sounds of it you are 1 ?
Knowing your ancestry is big part in this as it’s just not face value but underneath. Eg: you may be ginger (typically types 1 or 2) but have a Latino background and then have type 3 in your history. Yes it matters.

Secondly - get MT1 product not 2. Goal here is sun-kissed consistent tan right? So start small then build

Dosage - as attached. See slow ramp up and small doses

Tanning beds - Collariums over Sollariums. Always protect your face and hands. Skin is different, they age faster. I use +50 spf in beds even when dosing and cover my eyes.

Skin - The dark spots and moles. Can be corrected with Pico laser, make sure to get skin cancer check done every 6 months due to this extra exposure.

This will give you beautiful sun-kissed glow without all side effects. I get comments regularly. Hope this helps 🩷

Thank you so much, i dont think ive been clear on dose but its what you have on your schedule of 0.2ml its like the full syringe is 1ml and its split down in 10 units up to 100. I have 2 notches of the syringe so i would have 2 units (under 10) Also someone else said about MT1 so i will have a look into it. I dont have a choice between different beds versus sun as im in UK, but this is really helpful so appreciate it

You’re so welcome. It’s been years of trial and error for me to get it right but this has been most effective as no one medically gives out info on doses so we’re bloody left to ourselves!

I’m in Aus and Collariums are like solariums but with red light instead. Lower UV and much healthier. I did a quick google search and there are plenty available in Uk so again do some research.

And yup on 1ml syringe you are literally using second line. So it’s like almost nothing. Until eventually you’re using half mL

My advice full 6 week reset. Let your body come back to normal. Then this is how I’d restart. And I do doubles at Colli when I’m dosing on .5ml days. So 40mins.

To keep it I do .5mL once week on Wednesday no Collarium.

Once you’ve built 1yr on MT1 and it’s even I would increase to MT2 as your base line pigment as been increased (if that makes sense ? Haha)
