Spray Tanning Solution With Higher DHA = Darker Tan
Keys To Choosing The Right Spray Tan Solution
- DHA this is the base ingredient in all spray tanning solutions. The higher the concentration of DHA the darker the tan will be, the opposite is true if the percentage of DHA is less. Typically an 8% solution will result in a lighter tan, 10% solution will result in a medium tan and DHA 12% and will give a darker tan. Usually a less DHA is best for lighter skin and a darker tint for people who are not as fair skinned.
- Fast Drying – The faster the solution dries the better it is because solutions that don’t dry quickly are prone to streak on the body. This is a nightmare for anyone who has to spray tan for a living, your customers will be upset and you will spend precious time rectifying the streaks.
- Quantity – The amount of spray tanning solution required for full body application will vary from different brands and also different spray tan machine. Some machines use up too much solution and some solutions are not as effective and reapplication might be necessary. As a guideline 8oz bottle is enough for 4-5 applications, 16oz 8-10 applications and 1 gallon is sufficient for approximately 80 applications.
- Fragrance – Some scents smell better than others, when getting a whole gallon of spray tan solution make sure that the scent smells good. It would be a shame and a waste if your customers complain about the smell. Some scents are also neutral that both males and females won’t mind, if you cater to both genders then keep this in mind. A successful scent is one that is able to mask the unpleasant smell that is associated with DHA.
- Ingredients are more than just DHA and Erythrulose. Some spray tan solutions also blend in ingredients that soften the skin and provide good skincare. This is highly beneficial because everyone loves being tanned and having soft skin without clogged pores.
Now you know the keys to selecting a spray tan solution that will put a smile on your face every time you use it. There’s really not too much too it and after some level of experience you will be able to know which type of mist works best for you and the spray tan machine you have.
