Pre-Spray Checklist for the Machine Operator
Ensure the following pre-requisites are met before you begin to spray:
•
Proper Ventilation: To minimise the effects of any over-spray, a good airflow and an
extraction system should be used.
•
Over-Spray Protection: Portable or fixed overspray tent which can be washed down
periodically should be used. We recommend you use the HVLP Spray Tan Machine
Tent (ESSPRTANMT- BOX2) from Kogan.com
•
Lighting: It is essential to have good lighting. A bulb is recommended.
•
Accessories: Ensure that you have your spray tanning accessories within easy reach.
Some accessories may include a small sink, latex sponges, hand towels, barrier cream,
rubber gloves, masks, moisturiser, wet-wipes, and baby powder.
Useful Tips
For Spray Machine Operator
•
Keep your tanning solution chilled at 4 to 8 degree Celsius (not frozen) to ensure that
the DHA does not deteriorate.
•
Spray in a well-lit and well-ventilated area. Use about 30 – 50 millilitres of solution for
single use.
•
Ensure you have shaved desired areas before the spray.
•
Ensure you are wearing latex gloves
For Spray Recipient
•
Shower and exfoliate to eliminate dead skin cells.
•
If possible, apply nail polish to prevent the nails discolouration by the solution.
•
Wear appropriate clothes while getting sprayed.
•
Wear loose-fitting clothes after the spray session. This clothing will be less likely to
scratch the treated skin surface. Wearing wool, nylon or silk is not recommended.
•
The clothes might get stained by the tanning solution. Wash all clothes after use.
•
Do not apply lotions, creams, makeup, or other products to the skin before application.
Do not wear jewellery which could block the tanning solution from penetrating or cause
an uneven application.
•
Tie up your hair to keep it away from face and neck. This will help you in the even
application of the solution.
•
It will take a few hours for the tan to set. Do not shower for at least 8 hours.
•
Do not sweat or carry out any strenuous activity.
•
During the first shower the cosmetic bronzer will wash off. This is normal.
•
After few days of application, tan may begin to fade. Moisturise regularly to slow it
down.
