CHAPTER 9
AFTER SPRAY
RECOMMENDATIONS
AFTER TANNING CARE
A substantial tan will develop within 2 hrs after the application. However, for best results, SunFX
recommends to not shower or bath for at least 5 hrs after.
Also inform your client of the following points:
• Avoid touching your hands to your body because, although the spray feels dry, it will come off
on your ngers and hands and they will end up brown.
• Avoid rubbing and try to prevent perspiring if possible.
• Avoid close personal contact due to chance of rub off.
• As you go to sleep be aware of where your hands are. Make sure they do not rest on bare skin
as they will perspire and you will end up with a brown palm.
• In the morning when you may wake with your face being very brown, do not panic! When you
shower your face will go back to a light golden brown.
• Due to the bronzer you will nd the water will go brown in the shower. This is normal as you are
just seeing the excess bronzer wash off. It is denitely not your tan but only the bronzer.
• Avoid crossing your ankles as you watch TV or lie in bed.
EXTENDING THE LIFE OF THE SPRAY TAN
Recommend to your client that they do not exercise or perspire excessively between the tanning
and the showering phase. Avoid getting wet out in the rain or watering gardens wherever possible.
Also, advise to your client that applying a moisturiser twice daily after showering will signicantly
extend the life of their tan. SunFX Glow All Over Tan Extender is perfect for this. Moisturisers
hydrate the skin and so will reduce the rate at which the skin naturally exfoliates and will keep their
tan looking better for longer. Using a non-abrasive soap such as the Body Wash will aid in the life
of your tan.
Other considerations in maintaining their tan are to avoid long baths; spa’s and extended
swimming sessions. (Chlorine can remove a spray tan application very quickly). Shorter sessions
are preferable. Also avoid products designed to exfoliate your skin towards the end of the life of
the tan, around 5 – 10 days after.
CAUTION : NO SUN PROTECTION FROM SPRAY TANS
The SunFX spray-on tan formula DOES NOT provide any sun protection and DOES NOT
contain sun screen. Strongly advise clients to apply sunscreen to prevent sunburn when outdoors.
Burning the skin and peeling will leave major cosmetic affects to the tan plus the eventual damage
to the actual skin.
