Spray Tanning for All Skin Types: Tailoring the Austin Spray Tanning Experience for Everyone
Welcome to the 360 Tans blog! At 360 Tans, we believe that everyone deserves a flawless, sun-kissed glow, regardless of their skin type. Each person’s skin is unique, and that’s why we tailor our spray tanning experience to meet the specific needs of every client. Let’s explore how we customize our approach for different skin types, especially for those with oily and dry skin.
Understanding Skin Types
Before we dive into tailoring the spray tanning experience, let’s briefly discuss the different skin types:
Normal Skin: Balanced moisture levels, few blemishes, and minimal sensitivity.
Oily Skin: Increased oil production, often leading to shine and potential breakouts.
Dry Skin: Lacks moisture, may feel tight, and can appear flaky.
Sensitive Skin: Prone to irritation and reactions; often red or reactive.
Combination Skin: A mix of oily and dry areas, requiring special attention.
Tailoring the Spray Tanning Experience
1. Oily Skin
For clients with oily skin, we recommend using Prepare by NG Sunless. This unique product features loofa particles that effectively remove natural body oils, soap, and other residues that can prevent the tanning solution from penetrating the deeper layers of the skin. By ensuring a clean surface, Prepare helps achieve a more even and lasting tan.
Additionally, we advise clients with oily skin to avoid heavy moisturizers before their appointment. This allows the tanning solution to adhere better, providing optimal results.
2. Dry Skin
For those with dry skin, hydration is key! We recommend our Dry Patch Butter, formulated with nourishing shea butter to deeply moisturize and prepare your skin for tanning. Additionally, we suggest using our Polish Body Wash Replacement post-tan. This gentle cleanser will help maintain your glow without stripping moisture.
To keep your tan looking fresh, follow up with our Hydrate Lotion, which is free from alcohol and contains medical-grade anti-aging peptides. This will not only extend the life of your tan but also keep your skin soft and supple.
3. Normal Skin
For clients with normal skin, the application process is straightforward. We can use a range of tanning solutions to achieve your desired shade. A light exfoliation before the appointment will enhance the tan’s longevity and evenness.
4. Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin requires special attention. We use hypoallergenic and paraben-free tanning solutions designed specifically for reactive skin. Before your appointment, it’s helpful to do a patch test to ensure there’s no adverse reaction. Our trained artists will also use gentle techniques to minimize any irritation during application.
5. Combination Skin
For combination skin, we recommend a tailored approach. We can focus on different solutions for different areas of your body, applying a lighter product to drier areas while using a more balanced formula for oilier sections. Communication is key, so let us know your concerns!
Preparing for Your Spray Tan
Regardless of your skin type, proper preparation enhances the tanning experience:
Exfoliate: Gently exfoliate your skin the day before your appointment to remove dead skin cells.
Shave: If you plan to shave, do so at least 24 hours prior.
Avoid Products: On the day of your tan, arrive with clean skin free of lotions, oils, and deodorants.
Post-Tan Care
Post-tan care is crucial for maintaining your glow:
Hydrate: Keep your skin moisturized daily.
Avoid Exfoliants: Steer clear of scrubs or harsh cleansers that can fade your tan.
Limit Chlorine Exposure: If possible, avoid swimming in chlorinated pools for a few days.
