Here at SunFX, we have developed our Sunless Tanning Solutions to make achieving the perfect tan as easy as cracking open a bottle. However, we understand that our spray tan specialists often want to mix and customize their tanning solutions. This allows them to create a unique tanning mix tailored to each client's needs.
If you are interested in creating a bronzer, adjusting DHA strength, or adding specific skin conditioning ingredients, read on!
Customizing Your Tanning Solutions
Creating the perfect tanning solution is an art. With SunFX, you have the tools to craft a bronzer that meets your client's specific preferences. Whether it's adjusting DHA strength or adding skin-loving ingredients, customization is key.
How to Change DHA Strength?
Sometimes, you might find yourself short on the specific strength of tanning solution you need for a client. Perhaps you want a tan that is darker than our Light Summer but not as dark as our Mid Summer. What can you do? Adjusting the DHA level is quite simple.
Here are a couple of rules to follow:
Know the strength of the SunFX Solutions you’re mixing.
Only mix our Standard Solutions (5-8hr) with other Standard Solutions and only Rapids with other Rapids.
Use our recipe guide.
Additionally, when looking to increase DHA strength, consider using our DHA Booster Drops. These drops enhance DHA potency. Instructions for use can be found here.
Blending Bronzers
SunFX Bronzers are designed to match and blend with all skin tones, whether they are neutral, warm, or cool. Keep in mind that these cosmetic bronzers only stain the skin for the first couple of washes. Some clients have specific likes and preferences that you can accommodate. When blending, remember the same two rules we used for changing DHA strength apply.
Tips for Blending Bronzers:
A 50/50 mix of Original and Caribbean will be close to the Mocha Xpress Bronzer.
A popular mix is 1/3 Caribbean to 2/3 Original.
Try adding a dash of Violet Royal with any of our bronzers for a unique twist.
Enhancing Ingredient Benefits
SunFX allows you to fine-tune your spray tan to cater specifically to your client's senses. Our SunFX Scent Drops let you add the perfect scent experience to their spray tan. Our SunFX mixologist has created four intoxicating blends to choose from.
The Importance of Customization
Customization is essential in the tanning industry. Each client has unique skin tones and preferences. By offering personalized solutions, you enhance their experience and satisfaction. This not only builds trust but also encourages repeat business.
Conclusion
In conclusion, SunFX provides you with the tools to create the perfect tanning solution. Whether you are adjusting DHA strength, blending bronzers, or enhancing the scent, customization is key. Don't hesitate to experiment and find the perfect mix for your clients.
