I'm actually pretty surprised to hear you say that as I'm sure the vast majority of people find their face quickly outpaces the rest of the body, except the genitals.
You could try keeping your body covered while out in the sun, letting your* face get additional exposure.
Alternatively a properly applied SPF50 on the body should relatively quickly even out the tan.
It basically comes down to limiting your darkest parts while still allowing the lighter parts to tan, if you do that then you should notice a change rather quickly.
Hey Wes, it sounds like quite the unique advantage you have.... Can you offer some insights as to why you would like to develop the tan on your face? I generally advocate/focus on tanning the body vs the head (for cosmetic & anti-aging benefit). Although I urge you to not over expose the face...be sure and protect your lips, nose and eyes.
Well Melanotan, during winter everything gets reset, so to start every body part is type one (except arms). Then rather quickly my arms move from type one to type two by around this time of year. And my face makes absolutely zero progress. Now my arms are a little odd, they have not lost a bit of tan since the last time I used MT2 during last fall (I think I was born to be tanner than I am and MT2 just made my brain realize it was forgetting to produce the melanin and kick started production).
As for my face, I want to develop a tan because I have naturally dark bags under my eyes, and they are much more visible when I am pale. Now I should note that I am very concerned with the well being of my skin because I am so pale. I make sure to wear sunglasses and spf 50 sunscreen on days when the UV index is 5 or more. I will also make sure that my lips get covered with some SPF 15 lip balm.
To put it simply I for my own cosmetic benefit I want a more uniform tan, and I will take my time/be very weary of skin damage. I'm heading off to college in the fall and want to have a better life there than leaving high school. I think I am the youngest active user on this forum actually.
Thanks for the clarity & perspective Wes, much appreciated! I think you'll achieve the results you're after w/ small exposures. Please keep us posted if you learn any new tricks of the trade* 8)
Have not been on in a while so just read this. Wes Diamoni; I am in the same boat as you. My stomach and upper legs tan the most. After that my lower legs and arms tan less. My face is the most difficult area to achieve good results. Still better than before I used this though.

My face has the hardest time tanning out of any part of my body, any tips to focus on my face?

So it was for me ]The body was easiest, and lower legs and face were hard to tan. I had also read reports that MT2 users were negro in 8 days if not used Factor 50. In my case it took 6 months to get the same color on the face. I dropped sunscreen and then I exposed areas of the skin that lacked color. I had to take 500mcg/ED for 6 months.
My result is now that I have a uniform great natural color as being commented every single day.

The summer has not arrived yet for my country, but I am ready for it and have taken MT2 and sunbed all winter, so I start out with the color that I have in the picture, so this summer I am very tanned. Maybe I can reach the same color as the German Wolffi ]http://melanotanforum.com/melanotan-2/how-long-is-it-safe-to-use-mt2/msg6187/#msg6187

I'm curious, why do the genitals tan quickly without UV exposure?

Increased melanocytes in those regions naturally respond quicker to the areas with less.
