Dosage
Start with a very low dose.
​
This is done by following these steps -
One spray on day one and one spray on day two.
Day three you can take two sprays (one in each nostril) and do the same on day number four.
Then increase it by one spray per day every two days, but do not exceed a total of eight sprays per day as it could make your freckles darker (something that will go away when you stop using the product).
Once your tan starts to develop, reduce the dosage to one spray per nostril per day as maintenance or use slightly more for a darker colour or slightly less for a lighter colour. Please note that during the loading phase, your tan will only develop when the 10 ml bottle is almost finished as the product builds up in your system. Subsequent bottles should last around a month or longer. If it is your first time using the product, use at least 10 ml during the loading phase and another 10 ml for maintenance (see our starter kit under the products section).
If you have used the product before (within the last 7 days)
You can start with two sprays per day if you wish or increase it to increase your colour or decrease the dosage for less colour. Do not exceed a total of eight sprays per day.Â
The maintenance dose is the same as above: one spray per nostril per day or every other day.Â
The 5 ml bottle is recommended for maintenance only and not for loading.
As a reference: your 10 ml nasal spray bottle (60 sprays) contains exactly 10 mg of Melanotan 2. So one spray per nostril (2 sprays) is equal to about 0.333 mg of Melanotan 2. However, absorption using a nasal spray is around 50%, so for one spray per nostril you are actually getting 0.167 mg of Melanotan 2. For the 5 ml bottle, it’s half of these amounts.
Always keep your MT2 nasal spray refrigerated if possible.
Happy tanning!
