Head, shoulders, knees and toes… and everything in between. Without “singing” the entire song, there are a few body parts that spray tanning technicians dread, especially when just starting out. So here’s the scoop on tanning your patties and your tootsies…
First, remember to use Hide Out: pH Balancing Spray. Every client. Every time.
You should always have your clients apply a small (dime-sized amount) of Security: Pre-Tan Barrier Balm ($24) to the following areas: knees, ankles, elbows, tops of hands and tops of feet. This will allow some of the solution in, while keeping some out. Dry areas of the body can soak up solution like nobody’s business! And you definitely want to avoid the Oompa-Loompa Pox!
Patties:
When you are spraying the arms, you want to pull back at the wrists/hands. Avoid spraying the client’s palms (another area that loves DHA). Be sure the client’s hands are slightly bent—if the fingers are locked straight, the client could end up with white lines on the knuckles. Ick.
Tootsies:
You don’t want to spray the feet directly either. In fact, you can almost skip them entirely! Gravity will pull overspray out of the air…and it usually lands on the feet.
Check out our Download EnvyTan Application Guide. Its step-by-step instructions are extremely helpful, whether you’re new or have been around the block a time or two. Don’t forget about our “how to” DVD, Show Off: Spray Tanning Training Video ($25) released last fall. It’s a great way to *see* how we do things!
Fear feet and fingers no longer!
