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.
I’ tan very easily but this is next level ! I apply it first let it do its magic then apply my SPF. Less time in the sun only now I have a m amazing deeper tan . Love it
My tan is amazing ! I apply every night after my shower and after sun. Smells so good ❤️
Being from Mauritius, I have tried every sort of sunscreen for face. First time I've applied it under make up, i thought it was going to leave a white cast after. But surprisingly it didn't and my face wasn't tanned for once. It may look a bit whiter in colour cause of it being tinted but it settled down after. Best product that i have ever bought. Xx
Love this product
Non greasy, easy to rub in and doesn’t leave a white cast. I am a fan and it’s only been 12 days.
I love how this brand is incorporating quality sunscreen products into their range!. I use this SPF 50 every day and I love it! So hydrating and great to know that there are no nasties in it. Thank you Mykonian Sun!

This product contains SPF 10 and is not a substitute for higher SPF protection. For extended sun exposure, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
