Mykonian Sun works with Peptide technology which stimulates the production of melanin and activates the natural tanning process. In this way, the 'active' which is the Peptide contributes to an even tan and induces the skin to build up its own natural UV protection.

For best results: apply our tanning lotion or tanning oil 4-5 days before sun exposure to activate melanin production and achieve maximum results with minimum UV rays. Your melanin levels will start to increase and build your natural glow.

All skin types vary so people with fairer skin may notice it may take a little longer before melanin production is visible, compared to people with darker skin.

Melanin is a natural complex Polymer derived from the amino acid Tyrosine. Melanin is responsible for determining skin and hair colour and is present in the skin to varying degrees.
