Beautiful and Safe Glow

In the quest for a sun-kissed glow, spray tanning has become popular, offering a safe  alternative to harmful UV exposure. As a spray tan artist, your primary goal is to provide clients with a beautiful tan while ensuring their well-being. By prioritizing safety measures and implementing best practices, you can create a safe and enjoyable spray tanning experience for your clients.

Here are some of the ways to ensure both safety and beauty in the world of spray tanning.

Informed Product Selection, Client Consultation, Maintaining a Clean and Sanitary Environment, Protective Measures, Proper Ventilation and Air Quality, Client Education about before and aftercare

•  It is crucial to select the products you use carefully. Choose high-quality tanning solutions that have been tested for safety. Research different brands, examine their ingredient lists, and choose solutions and products suitable for various skin types and conditions. Know who is making your products. Being well-informed about your products can provide clients with a more personalized tanning experience.
• Prioritize client consultations to understand their needs and potential skin sensitivities. Ask questions about their skin type, allergies, and past experiences with tanning products. These details will help you tailor the spray tanning solution, select appropriate techniques, and identify potential risks and contraindications. Effective communication and client education is essential to ensure their well-being and satisfaction.
• Creating a clean and sanitary environment is essential to prevent the spread of bacteria or infections. Thoroughly wash your hands before and after each tanning session. Regularly clean and disinfect your equipment, such as the spray gun, tanning booth, and any reusable materials, according to manufacturer instructions. Use disposable items whenever possible to minimize cross-contamination. By prioritizing cleanliness, you enhance the overall experience for your clients.
•  Both you and your clients should take appropriate measures during the tanning session. Wear disposable gloves to avoid direct contact. Provide clients with undergarments or adhesive coverings to safeguard sensitive areas.
• Proper ventilation in your spray tan area is vital. Ensure your workspace is well-ventilated, or install multiple extraction fans to keep the air clean and fresh. Consider using air purifiers to improve air quality further and create a comfortable environment for you and your clients.
•  Empower your clients with pre- and post-tanning care knowledge. Instruct them on exfoliation techniques, proper skin hydration and moisturization, and avoiding activities after the tanning session. Educating clients about how to maintain their tans effectively not only ensures better results but also helps them protect their skin and extend the longevity of their spray tan. Clear instructions and aftercare recommendations demonstrate your commitment to their well-being beyond the tanning session.

As a spray tan artist, providing a safe and satisfying spray tanning experience and prioritizing client well-being establishes trust and loyalty and contributes to the overall positive reputation of the spray tanning industry. Remember, safety and beauty go hand in hand.
