CHAPTER 6
PREPARATION
FOR YOUR CLIENT
EXFOLIATION
Advise your clients to exfoliate their body prior to the application. Exfoliation prior to their
treatment will ensure the skin is well prepared. For best results we recommend using a SunFX
Exfoliation Glove or SunFX Body Polish. Using these will ensure a clean, smooth nish to the
skin, perfect for the ultimate spray tan result. Or alternatively, have the client rub a damp, soapy,
washer rmly over the skin when showering. Have them pay particular attention to rough skin
areas like the knees, elbows, ankles and the top of their feet.
WAXING AND SHAVING
Waxing or shaving should be done 24 hours before an application. If done after the application
it will remove the tan in those areas. If done just before, it can leave the skin sensitive and may
result in an uneven tan.
CLOTHING
Advise your client to wear dark loose clothing after spraying wherever possible. Solution/bronzer
transfer on clothing can occur but it is less noticeable on dark clothing. Please be aware that
solution will wash out of most fabrics, however, some materials such as leather and silk will stain.
It is best not to take the risk and so avoid any expensive dry cleaning bills.
Ask clients to wear suitable attire for the actual spray tanning session. We suggest a bikini for
women and dark briefs or swimmers for men. Many clients will choose to wear less than this
and often request a nude tan to avoid any lines. You are not obligated to spray clients nude. We
suggest you provide SunFX Disposable G-Strings and Hair Nets if needed.
USE OF MAKE UP AND MOISTURISERS
We recommend that clients do not apply moisturiser to their skin at this stage as doing this will
reduce the nal result. Recommend to clients not to wear any make-up, perfumes, deodorants or
any moisturisers. These can form a barrier and prevent the solution contacting the skin resulting in
a patchy and irregular tan.
SKIN TYPE
Check the client’s skin and ask them about their skin type and sensitivity. This is especially
important for clients having their rst spray. If you have established that the client has a very
sensitive skin type or they are unsure of their skin type, then we recommend they consult their GP
or doctor before having a patch test or full body spray. A patch test is generally performed on the
back of the calf or on the forearm. You may have to allow 24hrs to ensure no contraindications.
