First Year summer season update after 100mgs type1
I am contributing pictures for my log (have posted a few times here mostly about my concern over some moles which caused a 10day pause in my summer season but were all false alarms thankfully).*
Huge thanks to Chris as always.
From the attached pictures, you can easily see that I am a true true type-1.* I am enjoying amazing photoprotective and cosmetic benefits. Truly life changing.* That is a fact.*
How? Many times over the summer I would go pack a pin and bring to the Redondo beach so I could get the melanotan-1 in me, then step out of the car to immediately get some quality sun.* I would sometimes go 10-20mins with no sunblock during these times immediatly following melanotan-1 (towards the end of the summer) and then use 15 or 30 or 50, depending on the area of the body, what time of the summer, how much sun, etc.
MAINTENANCE
I am now mostly into reading up and coming up with a plan for maintenance. My goal is to remain above baseline through the fall & winter, perhaps keeping 25-50% of the gains I have netted.* Is that reasonable, attainable and advisable??
Given I am now 100mgs in since starting in early June and I had a 10 day break in August b/c I had a scare with false alarms from abnormal moles, what do people think I should do with both UVR and dosing plan for maintenance?* I know each person is different, and I cycled up fairly quickly.* I assume I may have to involve some sun beds if I am back on the east coast for the fall months, especially October and November onward.* If I did that, I could proceed carefully and try the smallet amount of minutes in the highest quality bed technology and probably use 15spf on my face.
Some people here have stated that they have been able to end completely and still maintain.* My color faded VERY quickly when I stopped for 10 days, but I had only been dosing for 2.5 months @85mgs total.* I will do more research on the blogs on maintenance strategy b/c perhaps I have to engage in some sunbed time and keep some amount of melanotan-1 going.* But in the meantime, please react with some ideas for me and the broader community.
Thanks and good luck to all! Lets keep this forum lively with information exchange.
Re: First Year type 1 melanotan results - great tan delta!
Wow, phenomenal transition to red/sensitive skin to photo-protective & tan skin - thank you for sharing* 8)
Going into the winter my best guesstimate and recommendation would be to approach the season sunless - ~30mg of melanotan 1 dosed sparingly the rest of 2012 should retain upwards of 50% of pigment achieved with your diligent tanning experience this summer.* Worst case scenario sign up for a few sunbed sessions where you can trigger that vacation glow with little exposure, you know best!
Certainly interested to hear your thoughts and updates with regards to maintenance. Sometimes we are our hardest critics, fluctuations, lighting, etc can impact our perception of our color - great to have the photographic proof to reference - please keep us posted on current thoughts on color fade/fading & continued well wishes your way!
