IMPORTANT
RECOMMENDATIONS & WARNINGS
ADHERE CLOSELY TO SUNFX GUIDELINES
SunFX has signicant experience in providing the very best recommendations and techniques for
the use of our SunFX products and SunFX Pro equipment. Nonadherence to these guidelines can lead to problems including equipment malfunction, incorrect application and undue wastage of tanning solution. Nonadherence can even cause cosmetic problems on clients leading to possible contraindications directly related to poor spray application technique. We highly recommend all therapists and users of the SunFX Pro systems and tanning products become thoroughly familiar with the information contained in this training manual and, if available, on the training DVD supplied.
CHILDREN
Children under the age of 16 should have a parent or a guardian present whilst being sprayed.
PREGNANCY
SunFX does not recommend spraying pregnant or lactating mothers.
SENSITIVE SKIN
Clients who have very sensitive skin or who are unsure of their skin type, should consult their GP or Doctor before receiving a test patch or full body spray tan. A test patch should be done at least 24 hours before their full body spray.
HANDS
We recommend you wear disposable gloves to ensure that any spilled tanning solution will not stain your hands.
INHALATION BY THERAPIST
Although inhalation of our product has not been shown to be harmful, if you do feel there is excess overspray of atomised product, we recommend you use a disposable face mask nasal plugs or similar protection to avoid excessive inhalation of atomised product. We recommend all therapists to use professional spray techniques that also avoid excess over-spray and potential
wasted product. Salons that have large spray tan trafc should consider a SunFX SunStation that features built in triple extraction lters.
PROTECTION FOR CLIENTS
SunFX recommends having eye protection (usually thin solarium goggles are ne) nasal plugs and
lip balm on hand in the event a client requests one or all of these.
NO SP FACTOR
A tan produced by application of DHA does not offer any protection against UV rays. Please ensure your clients are advised of this. We recommend the use of a quality sun block when exposing your skin to the sun’s UV radiation.

CHAPTER 1
SYSTEM SET UP
A QUICK SET UP GUIDE FOR YOUR SUNFX PRO TANNING SYSTEM
SUNFX PRO PROFESSIONAL TANNING SYSTEM
PRO SERIES TOWER
The SunFX Pro Professional turbine produces a constant supply of air to be applied through the hand held spray applicator. Air is taken in at the base of the unit then through the hose and directed to the applicator.
Please ensure the turbine unit is on a at working surface or oor, this will prevent the vent being covered which may cause overheating and damage to the turbine motor. We also recommend that the turbine be placed as far away from the spray area as possible to limit any spray being sucked in by the vent.
There are three indentations in the top part of the unit. These are used to hold the spray applicator when not in use. At the base of the unit there is an intake for the hose and a place to plug in the power cord.
WARNING: If the electrical cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a cord set recommended by the manufacturer or its service agent. Please contact SunFX for further advice in this situation.

SUNFX PRO PROFESSIONAL TANNING SYSTEM
PRO SERIES MINI
The SunFX Pro Mini turbine is very much like the SunFX Pro Professional Series Tower. It allows a constant supply of air to be placed through the spray applicator. Air is taken in at the base of the unit then through the hose and directed to the applicator.
The Pro Series Mini is designed to be mounted conveniently on the wall. It can also be placed on
the oor.
If choosing a oor location please ensure the turbine unit is on a at working surface as
this will prevent the vent being covered which may cause overheating and damage to the turbine motor. We also recommend that the turbine be placed as far away from the spray area as possible to limit any spray being sucked in by the vent. You will nd the Mini series
has an intake for the hose and a place to plug in the power cord at the base.
A wall mounting kit is provided enabling you to attach the turbine to the wall. For added convenience an applicator holder is included. This holder is designed to be mounted on
the wall. (separate instructions for mounting are provided in the start up kit)
BASIC FUNCTIONS OF
THE SPRAY

CHAPTER 2
TYPES OF TANNING
EDUCATION ON THE TYPES OF DIFFERENT
TANNING PROCESSES
UV TANNING
One popular form of tanning is the use of the Ultra Violet (UV) method. This involves exposing the body to direct sunlight or in a conned environment utilizing UV emitting light bulbs, commonly
referred to as solariums or sun beds. UV tanning relies on the formation of melanin in the lower skin layers, which in response to the UV exposure, turn brown. It is this melanin that protects the skin from damage by the sun by absorbing and scattering light. This method will turn the skin brown but can also lead to acute and even chronic skin damage and may greatly increase the risk of skin cancer.
SPRAY TANNING
An alternative method is the application of cosmetics which cause the skin to turn brown.
DIHYDROXYACETONE : THE AMAZING DISCOVERY
Dihydroxyacetone is commonly abbreviated ‘DHA’. This unique ingredient was discovered over 50 years ago and has been gradually improved to offer excellent tanning results that rival or exceed that from UV sources. DHA was originally used in oral medications to assist in the treatment of
some childhood diseases ( specically glycogen storage disease ) but its tanning effects were
accidentally stumbled upon when, by chance, it was spilled onto the skin.
DHA works by being applied to the skin. The DHA then reacts with the skin proteins found in the top most layers of the skin. The brown hue can appear in as little as 2 hours, but for best results
5-7 hours will be required for the full tanning effect to take place. The extraordinary benet of
DHA tanning is that it can not be washed off, but fades as the upper layers of the epidermis are naturally exfoliated.
BRONZERS & HOW THEY WORK
As mentioned DHA takes 5-7 hours to fully develop. Because of this there is a real need to use a temporary cosmetic colour. These cosmetic colours are often referred to as Bronzers. Bronzers achieve two things:
1. A visible guide to ensure proper coverage during spraying
2. To have the client leave the salon with a tan immediately after spraying
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BRONZERS & DHA
As explained previously, DHA causes a tan to develop during a protein reaction with the skin. However, bronzers are cosmetic colours that provide an instant colour on top of the skin. They are
reasonably easy to remove in the rst shower. The aim is to ensure there is little colour difference
between the DHA tan and the bronzers.
