Spray Tan Solution Storage

They way you store your spray tanning solution can really make a difference in it's shelf life! Heat kills DHA which is the ingredient that makes your spray tanning solutions work.  You always want to keep your sunless tanning solution below 73 degrees.

Some people like to store their spray tanning solution in the refrigerator. This is okay as long as it's not an emulsified solution like Kahuna Melange.  If you store an emulsified solution in the fridge it will cause it to get too thick and it will not work.  I like to keep my sunless tanning solutions in the hall closet.  It's cool, dark, and dry.  Store your spray tanning solutions carefully and you'll get a 6 month shelf life!

Using Barrier Cream

Using barrier cream is a great way to ensure you do not get any spray tanning solution on areas where you don't want to develop tan.  Sunless tanning solutions react with the top layer of your skin, creating the tanned glow we've all come to love.  There are just certain areas like the finger nails and palms of the hands where we wouldn't naturally tan, and in order to keep our sunless tan natural looking, we should avoid spraying these areas!

Barrier cream literally creates a barrier between the spray tanning solution and your skin.  This causes the sunless tan to not take in these areas! All you have to do is apply a layer of barrier cream to the finger nails, toe nails, palms of the hands, or anywhere you do not want the tan to develop.  After you are done spraying wipe the barrier cream off with a damp cloth.  It also works great on any dry patches you might have.  Spray tanning solution tends to over absorb in dry skin, and if you put a thin layer on barrier cream in those dry areas, the solution will absorb as it should!

Using Barrier Cream

Barrier cream is a great product to use along with your sunless tanning solutions!  What it does is keep the solution from developing in areas you don't want to be tan. Typically barrier cream is applied to the finger and toe nails, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet.

Barrier cream is also great for clients who may have dry patches.  Apply a thin layer of barrier cream where ever the dry skin is.  This will keep your sunless tanning solutions from over developing in those areas! Dry skin tends to over absorb the solution, so barrier cream is a great way to avoid that!
