Custom Rinse Timing Guide
Rinse TimeTan ResultApproximate DHA EquivalentSuggested Fitzpatrick Types
Rinse Time | Tan Result | Approx. DHA Equivalent | Suggested Fitzpatrick Types |
---|---|---|---|
2 hours | Light glow | 7–8% DHA | 1–2 |
3 hours | Medium tan | 9–10% DHA | 2–3 |
4 hours | Deep tan | 10–11% DHA | 3–4 |
5 hours | Richest, darkest result | 12% DHA | 4+ or olive/tan-prone skin |
Leaving the solution on for longer than 5 hours may result in a warmer or brassy undertone, particularly on lighter or drier skin types.
Pro Insight: Skin Condition Matters
While rinse time controls the depth of tan, your client’s skin condition affects how well the color develops and fades.
- Younger, dewy, well-hydrated skin can often tolerate longer development times and higher DHA reactivity without issue.
- Mature, dry, or textured skin may develop darker than expected and fade unevenly without proper prep or hydration.
For best results, always assess both Fitzpatrick type and skin condition before selecting a rinse time. Use AYU’s Smooth Glow Prep Spray before and Moisture Seal after to improve DHA reaction and tan longevity.
