The origin of the sun goes back years, but unfortunately so will your age if you over indulge in sun bathing.
The sun produces strong rays that  penetrate the skin every time we are exposed to the sun. The skin defends itself by producing more melanin, which in turn gives the skin a darker appearance called a tan. Unfortunately, the sun is largely responsible for premature skin aging, skin pigmentation and causes wrinkles. So what’s the alternative?


Melanotan is a cosmetic product that is used for tanning purposes. It does this by increasing the melanin production that is already going on it your body. It is a healthy alternative to lying in the sun and is given through an injection. The “Barbie drug” seems to work really well on fair-skinned people who do nothing but burn when they get in the sun.


Melanotan II helps them to gradually get darker without burning and peeling. However Melanotan II does work for all skin tanning types. For further information and advice on melanotan, find out more on the Europatan.eu website. Melanotan is a drug that is normally injected over a certain amount of time to give you a gradual tan that keeps you from being out in the harmful sunlight or lying in a tanning bed every day. You do need a certain amount of UV exposure however. There are two different forms of Melanotan. These are Melanotan I and Melanotan II. There is quite a bit of difference between the two and you need to know the differences to make an informed judgment as to which one you want to use.


Melanotan I also known as MT, afamelanotide, or Melanotan I is a straight full length peptide while Melanotan II also known as MT II or Melanotan II is a short circular version of Melanotan I. Both Melanotan I and Melanotan II cause tanning to the skin. That is pretty much where the similarities end. The major difference between the two seems to be that with Melanotan II you have the side effects of decreased appetite and increased libido. Men are especially prone to this but women have been affected. Melanotan II also seems to turn you darker faster where as Melanotan I has no such side effects.


Melanotan I has a wide history behind it. It is backed up by studies that prove its effectiveness while Melanotan still does not. Most people do prefer the Melanotan II.
