"Around here we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things because we're curious... and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths" - Walt Disney
Words of the wise, right? I agree with this statement. When
it comes to spray tanning products you’d be surprised how many different solutions
are available out there. If I happen to find a solution that I love, I stick to
it. But what if I miss out on a new product that is better? This is why I find
myself doing testing on many products. Do you think all spray tanning companies
are the same? Probably not. It’s evident
that no one company can stock all the different brands available. Here is what I
do to select what solution is carried in my salon and which solution and blend I use for
you:
·
Active Ingredients – It must be the highest quality.
DHA derived from natural sources that has not been overly processed will result
in the brownest color. I never skimp with cheap DHA.
·
Other Ingredients – a quick questioner will help
me determine which line is better for you. I might offer a product rich in
natural moisturizing oils, or one with quick drying elements. For sensitive skin, or allergy sufferers I have
a specific product for you.
·
Cosmetic bronzer – some bronzers are really
dark, and some are very light. Unless you are tanning for a competition, I
choose bronzers that are not too dark because as your tan progresses, your skin
will start turning brown which will amplify the results prior to a rinse. This
will prevent you from looking oddly dark while the solution develops, and
prevent that post rinse let down. If you prefer, additional bronzing can be added to your liking.
·
Your skin color – everyone has different skin.
Some of the factors of selecting or blending the perfect color depend on how
well you naturally tan, what your undertones are, and what your own preference
is. With my custom blending, the possibilities are endless!
·
Your skin condition – do you have dry, sensitive,
or oily skin? In addition to a pre and post care product recommendation, a
specific product can be used to help improve your existing skin condition.
·
Tan results – This is the most important to YOU!
If it doesn’t pass the client test, then it will never survive my salon. This
is why feedback from clients is so important. How do you like the color? How
long does the tan last? How well does the tan fade? What condition does it
leave your skin?
An amazing new solution is now available at ChromaTan. This tan
is exclusively for very pale and pinkish undertone skin. Pink undertones are
generally challenging for spray tanners.
Clients with pink undertones don’t normally tan well, and they don’t
look good in just any color. I sampled this color on myself because I’m very
pale. It dried quick, lasted 8 days, and most importantly it looked natural –
and surprisingly dark. The bronzer is very light, so you won’t look freakishly
dark after 3 hours. The color looks fabulous after the first wash, and after 24
hours it is fully developed. The outcome is a brown based color with slight
golden tones. Don’t worry, golden tones
does not mean orange. I know it’s scary to spray tan when you are super pale,
but I believe that you will love this color.
I was impressed with the fade. No
patchy spots and no lizard skin.
How does this product get any better? How about a package
with amazing lotion to extend your tan even longer! Protect your spray tan
investment and use only salon grade, quality ingredient lotions at least 2
times per day. Don’t skip this step and you will be pleasantly surprised with
your results. Buy the lotion once, and it will make your tan last much longer,
plus you won’t need to tan as frequently which saves you money in the end.
