FAQ
FAQ
How is this different from a regular tanning lotion?
Unlike standard tanning lotions, this formula is powered by our DNA Defense™ Shield, which combines antioxidant science with melanin-boosting peptides. It supports your skin’s natural ability to tan, while defending it at the cellular level from UV-induced stress.
Will I still need to wear sunscreen?
Yes. This product does not contain SPF. We recommend pairing it with a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect against harmful UV rays. Our lotion is designed to support your skin during tanning—not replace sun protection.
Will this make me tan faster?
Yes. Thanks to Melanoil®, this formula helps activate your skin’s natural melanin production, which can result in a faster, deeper tan with less time in the sun.
Can I use this with fake tan or spray tan?
Absolutely. It won't interfere with DHA-based self-tanners and can be used to keep your skin hydrated and protected underneath or in between sessions.
Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. It’s vegan, paraben-free, and formulated with soothing ingredients like jojoba oil and peptides. However, we always recommend a patch test first if you have reactive skin.
Can I use this on my face?
Yes, though it’s primarily designed for body use. If you have sensitive or acne-prone skin, apply cautiously or opt for a lighter moisturizer with similar antioxidant properties.
Do I need to be in the sun for it to work?
Yes — this lotion supports your skin's natural tanning response, so some UV exposure is needed. But this isn’t about cooking yourself under harsh rays. We believe in intentional tanning: controlled sun time, consistent hydration, and skin-smart routines.
Super Hydrating and feels amazing when applied!
Loveee!!!!
This product is amazing! Smells and feels devine on the skin. More importantly it really does work! Couldn’t believe how quickly my skin tanned to a beautiful coppery complexion without spending hours in the sun cooking. I will definitely be buying again. Congratulations on a fantastic product!
loveee!!!
Absolutely love this tan accelerant lotion! It's been a game-changer for me, allowing me to achieve a gorgeous tan with minimal sun exposure. It feels great on the skin, doesn't leave any greasy residue, and smells amazing. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a safer way to get that sun-kissed glow!
This Summer Kit is just AMAZING! I used all three bottles throughout our Aussie summer and let me just say this stuff really does work!!! I am very fair and could not believe the beautiful colour I managed to achieve with consistent use. The lotion feels devine on the skin as well as the SPF and the oil is just magic and smells delicious! I can’t wait to use again in Europe this summer! 🩵
This is the best tanning product I've used ever, I'm naturally quite fair, and I'm feeling so confident after my 10 day holiday with a bronze glow! Usually, 10 days is not enough for me to develop a tan but with Mykonian Sun, I noticed results within the first day of using! My boyfriend also loved using the product as it's not as oily as other tanning products and doesn't give you that extreme oily feel and look. Results pictured! A summer essential but also a holiday essential if you're going away somewhere sunny!
