What is Nu-Tan®
Nu-Ta® patches are easy and effective – dubbed the future of tanning. They were developed by Nu-Ta® to be convenient user friend and the ability to get a natural tan with minimal UV exposure.
The NuTa® Patches contain an in house formulated Beta-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (b-MSH) Nutan MSH-ComplexB with the active ingredient coming from a natural source. The formulation naturally triggers the tanning process by binding to and activating the Melanocortin 1 Receptor (MC1R) on the surface of your skin's pigment-producing cells (melanocytes). This binding helps kickstart a series of biochemical events that increase pigment production and provide cellular protection.
Nu-Tan® Patches are now available in 2 sizes; Original which give fantastic results on a budget and the larger Triple Strength which give the same fantastic results quicker.
You will use the patch every one to three days in the loading phase, depending on how quickly you want to get your tan. Then, you will need to lie in the sun for about 30 minutes or the Tan-Can for 10 minutes on the days that you use the patch. The more often you use the patch and get UV exposure (i.e. every day as opposed to every third day), the quicker you will tan. Once you have achieved the golden tan you’re after, it is advised that you reduce your use of the patch to every third day as part of your maintenance phase (this will also make your patches last longer). It is crucial that you get some sun on the same day that you use the patch.
The patches are simply put onto your skin (usually somewhere out of the way, like the outer part of the upper arm). For detailed info click below.
There are no side effects (other than a little redness where the patch was applied, which disappears within a few hours).

Instructions on how to apply the patches:
Open the patch carefully, watching out never to touch the inside of the patch where the micro bristles are. Then, stick one patch to your skin and press it down with your palm to make sure that the micro structures enter your skin properly.
For best results, place 5cm below your navel (belly button) if carrying weight around your tummy this area is not advised as absorption will be decreased, alternatively on the inside of your wrist, you can also place on the top of your arm, these areas are where the skin is the thinnest and absorption is better. Never rub the patch when applying as this can damage the micro bristles Attach the patch before you go to bed and remove it the next morning. This is the best way to make sure that it dissolves completely.
Each patch should stay firmly on your skin for at least two hours to allow them time to penetrate and dissolve properly. To ensure that the patch is ready to be removed, press down on the patch. If you feel nothing, the patch can be removed. If there is still a slightly prickly sensation, leave the patch on for longer.
Pro tip: attach the patch before you go to bed and remove it the next morning. This is the best way to make sure that it dissolves completely.
The glue on the patch may leave a slightly red mark for a few hours after the patch is removed. Other than this, there are no side effects.
KEEP YOUR PATCHES AWAY FROM EXTREME HEAT AND DIRECT SUNLIGHT. High heat and humidity will make the micro structures melt and your patch will not easily stick to your skin.
