IMPORTANT
RECOMMENDATIONS & WARNINGS
ADHERE CLOSELY TO SUNFX GUIDELINES
SunFX has signicant 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 trafc 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.

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

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 conned 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 ( specically 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 benet 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.

CHAPTER 3
SKIN STRUCTURE
UNDERSTANDING THE STRUCTURES AND
MAKE UP OF SKIN AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO TANNING
SKIN STRUCTURE IN RELATION TO UV TANNING
Normal skin contains melanocytes.
Melanocytes release melanin into the
upper epidermis and form the natural
colour of the skin.
When the body receives UV rays from the
sun or a solarium the body reacts by
releasing more melanin from the
melanocytes. Melanin has the unique
ability to absorb UV rays, thus protecting
the skin from much of the UV. The build up
of melanin in the skin is what produces a
brown colour of the skin we call a tan.
As the body receives greater amounts of
UV the body produces greater amounts of
melanin. The body is reacting to the UV
rays to provide greater protection. The skin
continues to ‘tan’ and turn darker from the
saturation of melanin. (Interestingly, black
skinned people have large amounts of UV
absorbing melanin naturally in their body.
This gives them a natural protection
against UV exposure, however ,even dark
skinned people can receive bad skin damage.)
6
Page 12
SKIN STRUCTURE IN RELATION TO SPRAY TANNING
Normal skin before spray tan application.
Change in the Horny layer after the spray
tan application.
Note that there are no changes to the
deeper skin layers.
The application of a spray tan differs
greatly from a UV tan. When the spray tan
solution is applied to the skin, the DHA
component reacts with the dead protein of
the skin found in the horny layer. This
reaction produces a browning effect that
resembles a tan.
SKIN STRUCTURE IN RELATION TO SKIN CANCER
Each time the body is exposed to UV rays
some of these rays penetrate deeper in
the skin breaking down the collagen
layers. Over time, especially from longer
periods of exposure, the UV light will
cause abnormal changes in the bodies
cells. This is the major cause of skin
cancer and melanomas.

CHAPTER 4
SUNFX PREMIUM
TANNING SOLUTION
SunFX has developed a range of solutions in 3 different levels. Each level of solution has been
mixed with a different degree of the active ingredient DHA to allow a different colour tone to be
achieved.
Level ONE: Standard
Level TWO: Medium
Level THREE: Dark
The SunFX solutions Level ONE and Level TWO have been mixed with the same bronzer content,
however, the Level TWO solution has a higher percentage of DHA. This means when you spray
with either of these solutions the client will come out the same colour but after a period of time the
person sprayed with Level TWO will be darker. Level THREE has a darker bronzer and an even
higher percentage of DHA than the Level ONE and Level TWO and is considerably darker after it
has developed.
STORAGE
SunFX Premium Spray Tanning Solution should be stored in a cool dry place away from sunlight.
For long term storage of unopened bottles, place in a refrigerated area. Solution can be kept at
room temperature during the day of spraying. It can be quite cold if you spray with solution directly
from the fridge.
When you decide to use the solution remember to SHAKE THE BOTTLE before use. This is very
important and will allow you to give your client the best result and maintain correct operation of
your spray equipment. The ‘use by date’ for solution is located on the underside of solution bottle.
NO SP FACTOR
A TAN PRODUCED BY APPLICATION OF DHA DOES NOT OFFER ANY PROTECTION
AGAINST UV RAYS.
IT IS ESSENTIAL YOU REMIND YOUR CLIENTS OF THIS.
WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF A QUALITY SUNBLOCK WHEN EXPOSING YOUR SKIN TO
THE SUN’S UV RADIATION.

SUNFX SOLUTIONS: ALMOST PERFECT :
WHAT ABOUT THE CUSTOMER ???
In 2008 SunFX was excited to introduce their new range of over 15 new tanning solutions to suit all types of skin
types. Our new rapid and Caribbean chocolate solutions quickly gained popularity by the public.
However we wish to ensure that you are able to achieve the best results when using our SunFX solutions.
Our formulas are enhanced with greater active ingredients and are often much stronger than others on the market.
But that is why so many people love our solutions. They deliver a great, streak free tan with the minimum of solution.
Our active ingredients often work faster and develop deeper than other comparable brands. So the advantage to you
is less solution required to often achieve the same results.
Rapid 2 hour:
Based on the orders for Rapid we know you love it. Rapid was developed to enable a client to spray and shower if
required within 2 hours of application. However it is important to note that different skins pose different challenges to
ALL 2 hour solutions.
For these solutions to maximise their tan in the 2 hours requires a set amount of absorption into the clients skin. This,
though, is dependent on many factors regarding the clients skin and even their own preparation. So some, no matter
how hard you try, will not achieve the required absorption in that time and will not get the tan they require. Hence,
they are far better to use another SunFX solution and leave it on longer. Most 2 hour solutions will always recommend
to leave it on longer for darker results. It is also good to note that the 2 hour Rapid solution had a reduced or lighter
bronzer than our other Original solutions so this also confuses many too. Lighter bronzers in the Rapid allow for the
quick absorption. Don’t be tempted to spray it darker.
All solutions 5 hours!
Did you know that all the SunFX solutions can be left for just 5 hours to achieve their maximum affect. Many may
still feel 8 hours or overnight is best. However for most clients their skin will have achieved a 95% colour within that
period! ( a little secret tooJif your client has the right skin then all the solutions can tan them in 2 hours! Amazing fact!
Still best to leave it longer though.)
All Skin types: Be Prepared!
If you have worked around solarium centres you would have noticed that every client tans differently under the lamps.
Yet they are using the same lamps as everyone else. Even those in the real sun achieve different coloured tans and
different colour intensities. Why? Every skin is different. So this same rule applies to spray tanning or even self tans.
Every skin is different. Every reaction is different. Every result is different.
We know that at least 98% of your clients will love their SunFX tan. However for this minor percentage, thanks to their
genetics and other conditions out of our control, there will always be those whose tan develo http://sunfx.com.au/wpcontent/uploads/2015/02/CaribbeanGold_Light-Summer-Front1.jpg ps lighter, wear faster, comes off too patchy or
even goes too dark! For these don’t give up hope. All is required is to try to ascertain what might work better for them.
A little trial and error involved. Perhaps an Aloe Therapy would work better for a greater moisturising factor. Work with
your client and see just what is best for them. Explain to them what the parameters are.
Some are perfect the rst time! Others may just require some extra ne tuning!

REMEMBER YOUR AIM IS TO ACHIEVE THE BEST LOOKING TAN, NOT NECESSARILY THE
DARKEST TAN. IN FACT YOUR MAIN AIM FOR MOST PEOPLE IS TO ACHIEVE A NATURAL
LOOKING TAN.
SKIN TYPES:
Fair / Pale skin: use Level ONE
Light tanned / Olive: use Level ONE or TWO
Olive / Dark Tanned: use Level TWO or THREE
CONTRAINDICATIONS OF SPRAY TANNING
Studies on DHA have shown that between 1-3% of people may have some sort of a reaction to
the application of DHA on the skin. These reactions are on the most part very mild and almost not
noticeable. However some clients with hypo-allergenic skin may experience a rash. This may or
may not be accompanied by some itchiness.
WHAT TO DO
Advise the client to wash the tan off straight away in a shower or bath. The reactions will almost
always cease after this. Those who have a greater reaction should shower then apply a basic antihistamine cream. If problems persist they should contact their GP or Doctor.
NOTE ON CONTRAINDICATIONS
In many cases any contraindication could be avoided by ensuring the clients skin type has been
determined and, if necessary, patch tested rst.
Also the desire of the client to be ‘dark’ may lead to the temptation by the therapist applying the
tan to either spray an excessive coat of tanning solution on, or choose a solution level that may
not be suitable to the clients skin type. This may also lead to possible contraindications and even
cosmetic problems.
If a client is unsure of their skin type we recommend they consult with their GP or Doctor prior to
their spray.
Good training and adhering to basic spray tanning guidelines should ensure an enjoyable
spray tanning experience.

Page 17
ARE THE SUNFX TANNING SOLUTIONS
SAFE TO USE?
SunFX is always putting the comfort and health of its clients and salons rst. Our own research
and the research from many internationally respected laboratories over the last 30 years has
indicated that DHA is an relatively safe product and current research shows that it is unlikely
DHA can be absorbed through the skin. Other ingredients found in our SunFX Premium Tanning
Solutions are naturally based.
SHOULD CLIENTS BE PROVIDED WITH ANY FORMS OF
PROTECTION?
Recently attention has been given to the safety of spray tanning especially in the USA where spray
tanning is enjoyed by millions of clients. For instance, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in
the United States has responded by making certain recommendations. However, it is important
to note that these are exclusively related to the huge increase in the use of automatic spray
booths for spray tanning. It is also important to note that these recommendations are only for the
territories dened within the United States of America as no other regulatory body elsewhere in
the world has taken this stance. These automatic booths often use a complete saturation method
and rely on the client to remove excess tanning solution after exiting the booth. Many of these
booths allow the clients to breathe in the remaining mist until it is evacuated from the booth. Many
early booths still in use provided little or no evacuation of excess tanning mist. There was some
concern from the FDA that the spray solutions could penetrate and be absorbed into the mucous
membranes of the eye, nose and lips. They have advised clients to ask for suitable eye protection,
nasal plugs and to wear lip balm when using these booths. ( It is good to note that at this point in
time the FDA does not have in it’s possession any test data to provide any substantiation of these
claims indicating that DHA absorption into the body is unsafe.)
MANUAL APPLICATION VS AUTOMATIC BOOTHS
The application process by a manual application like that used by SunFX does not use a
saturation method that is used by common automatic spray booths. The SunFX method utilises
a careful and light application instead. Our High Volume Low Pressure (HVLP) spray technology
holds atomised particles within the air stream. This technology substantially reduces overspray,
keeping airborne particles to a minimum. The extensive training provided to SunFX therapists aids
in the most efcient methods for spray tanning.
However, 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.

Advise your clients to exfoliate their body prior to the application. Exfoliation prior to their
treatment will ensure the skin is well prepared. For best results we recommend using a SunFX
Exfoliation Glove or SunFX Body Polish. Using these will ensure a clean, smooth nish to the
skin, perfect for the ultimate spray tan result. Or alternatively, have the client rub a damp, soapy,
washer rmly over the skin when showering. Have them pay particular attention to rough skin
areas like the knees, elbows, ankles and the top of their feet.
WAXING AND SHAVING
Waxing or shaving should be done 24 hours before an application. If done after the application
it will remove the tan in those areas. If done just before, it can leave the skin sensitive and may
result in an uneven tan.
CLOTHING
Advise your client to wear dark loose clothing after spraying wherever possible. Solution/bronzer
transfer on clothing can occur but it is less noticeable on dark clothing. Please be aware that
solution will wash out of most fabrics, however, some materials such as leather and silk will stain.
It is best not to take the risk and so avoid any expensive dry cleaning bills.
Ask clients to wear suitable attire for the actual spray tanning session. We suggest a bikini for
women and dark briefs or swimmers for men. Many clients will choose to wear less than this
and often request a nude tan to avoid any lines. You are not obligated to spray clients nude. We
suggest you provide SunFX Disposable G-Strings and Hair Nets if needed.
USE OF MAKE UP AND MOISTURISERS
We recommend that clients do not apply moisturiser to their skin at this stage as doing this will
reduce the nal result. Recommend to clients not to wear any make-up, perfumes, deodorants or
any moisturisers. These can form a barrier and prevent the solution contacting the skin resulting in
a patchy and irregular tan.
SKIN TYPE
Check the client’s skin and ask them about their skin type and sensitivity. This is especially
important for clients having their rst spray. If you have established that the client has a very
sensitive skin type or they are unsure of their skin type, then we recommend they consult their GP
or doctor before having a patch test or full body spray. A patch test is generally performed on the
back of the calf or on the forearm. You may have to allow 24hrs to ensure no contraindications.

SPRAYING BEFORE WEDDINGS OR SPECIAL OCCASIONS
We suggest brides have a complete trial spray one to two weeks prior to the wedding to ensure
the best selection of solution level and any instance of contraindications. This will ensure they will
look just perfect for their special day.
RELAX YOUR CLIENT
Take time to relax your client and explain the treatment to them. Tell them what to expect and what
they are required to do during the spraying process. As you get to know your clients they will come
to trust you and so are more likely to return each time to your salon.
PROTECT YOUR CLIENTS FEET
Ensure that the customer is standing on a small towel. Alternatively we
recommend the SunFX aftermarket hygienic foot protectors called
‘Sticky Feet’. Please be aware that clients stepping in the excess
spray on the oor will receive considerable, and embarrassing,
darkening of the soles of their feet!

CHAPTER 7
APPLICATION NOTES &
TECHNIQUES
CORRECT SPRAYING TECHNIQUES
When spraying a client it is highly important that you keep the spray applicator in a level position
to maintain an equal coverage of solution over the body. For the most efcient coverage, the
applicator should be kept at a distance of about 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) away from the client’s skin.
The spray applicator allows solution to be emitted when the trigger has been pressed. Remember,
our SunFX Pro systems are designed to be used in an up and down movement only. Successful
spraying will be achieved when the operator can move the applicator in an up and down motion
while pressing the trigger in an on and off again motion. (refer to your training DVD for a more
concise understanding). NEVER HOLD THE TRIGGER ON CONTINUALLY. This will cause
excessive over-spray on the client and booth area and can lead to a costly waste of solution.
APPLICATION SPEED
Move your hand at a steady pace. Speed signicantly affects the application process. The rule
is simple: the faster your hand moves, the less solution will go onto the body. The slower
your hand moves, the more solution will go onto the body. Practice makes perfect. As you
begin it is always better to go a bit slower with the applicator set on a lighter level. Application
speed can increase as your condence grows.
Always start spraying from a moving hand. If you point, then start spraying, you will nd a heavier
spray in that area. This will have to be wiped away.
WARNING FOR CERTAIN BODY AREAS
Different areas of the body will absorb solution differently such as the hands and feet. Hands
and feet will grab the solution as they are drier than most other parts of the body and can feature
thicker areas of skin. Reduce the spray volume at the gun and apply a lighter coat. As you get
more condent, you can spray these areas moving your hand faster than other areas so less
solution is applied.
In most cases a lighter application is best for the face. Some may prefer to leave the face
altogether so that they can wear a bronzer in their make up. If so be careful to blend the neck area
without heavy lines.
Avoid heavy spraying in the underarm area. A very light application will be more than adequate.
Some clients may insist on leaving this out altogether.
It is important for operators to maintain a regular pattern of spraying. This helps in 2 ways. Firstly it
allows the operator to become condent in there own technique which will become second nature
after a period of time. Secondly your regular clients will know what to expect and will move into the
correct positions when needed.
17
Page 23
MISTAKES DURING SPRAYING
If a mistake is made during spraying including over spraying do not worry. Simply dab the area
with a towel to remove the offending overspray, especially while it is still fresh. Lightly reapply the
solution and blend in.
BEFORE APPLICATION
Some SunFX systems are supplied with a booth which allows a client to stand within an area to be
sprayed. Or you may have wisely invested in a SunFX SunStation. These areas are designed to
control any over-spray. Advise clients they must stand on a towel or, even better, use SunFX sticky
feet to stop solution absorbing into the soles of their feet. At days end the booth oor and/or walls
should be wiped down with a damp cloth. Booth curtains should be washed on a regular basis.
Always check that your equipment is functioning correctly before your customer arrives and your
applicator is on the correct number.
Make sure your solution is near to room temperature before use. Solution straight from the fridge
feels too cold on your customer’s skin! It may even be worth considering the use of a small heater
in your spray area in the colder months.
DO NOT heat your solution in a microwave oven. This will destroy the effectiveness of the solution.
However, you may wish to immerse a small amount of solution in a separate container and place
in warm water just before spraying.
The turbine unit should be placed in a position behind the person using the unit and away
from the spray area. This effect allows the turbine to breathe uncontaminated air, an important
consideration for trouble free performance.
Although inhalation of our product has not been shown to be harmful, staff members spraying
repeated customers in a conned area may desire to use a disposable paint mask to eliminate
excessive inhalation of any atomised product. SunFX SunStation with built in extraction fans are
an ideal choice for a salon or spa busy with spray tanning.
We recommend that the person providing the application wear plastic gloves to prevent
unnecessary chances of staining.
When applied correctly, SunFX will give your client an incredibly natural looking tan.
COSMETIC WARNING
AVOID HEAVY SPRAYING
We advise against trying to achieve very dark levels of colour. This can result in cosmetic
problems and patchiness later as the tan starts to wear off, something no client wishes and this
may affect their desire to return for more treatments. Clients may choose to be resprayed after a
day or two to give them a naturally darker effect. Again, SunFX has its limits and was not designed
to achieve anything other than a natural tanning result.

CHAPTER 8
ACHIEVING THE BEST
SPRAY COVERAGE
The following steps will be your guide whilst spraying. Follow each step to eliminate the chance of
missing any parts of the body. Remember you can always go back over a section of the body if it
has been missed. Always spray from one side of the body to the other. Don’t start in the middle
and work out left and right as this can cause over-spray.
BACK OF THE BODY
The back of the body should be divided in to two sections. Shoulder to waist and waist to feet. Ask
your client to face toward the back and lift their arms slightly to the side with their palms facing the
ground.
When commencing spraying, start from the back of one shoulder working down to the waist. Using
the up and down motion press your trigger on at the top and release it at the bottom. Spray from
the shoulder down to the waist, then move the applicator to the left so the solution can slightly
overlap the previous spray and then continue to spray upwards, not forgetting the rear neck area.
Continue this until the entire back area has been covered.
Then spray the back of their arms in one motion from the back of the shoulder down to the wrist
being careful around the elbow area.
Before spraying the lower area rst check to see if the client has a crease line under the buttocks.
If so have them point there toe to the ground and raise their heel. This will allow the area to be
sprayed. Now spray from the waist down to the feet making sure you lighten the spray by pulling
away when you approach the ankle. CAUTION : Feet will become dark and dirty looking if
over-sprayed. Then Spray the outer side of the back of the leg in a long continuous motion and
then the inside of the back leg each time pulling away at the ankle. Repeat on the other leg.
SIDES OF THE BODY
Now stand and have your client take a ¼ turn to either side. Hold the clients wrist and place your
client’s arm facing forward. You will spray in a down wards motion along their arm from the neck
to the wrist. Turn the arm so you can see the inside arm area. In one motion spray the inside arm
area from shoulder to the wrist.
IMPORTANT : Avoid at all costs spraying the palms of their hands.
Once the front part of the arms are complete have your client lift their arm and spray from the wrist
along the underside of the arm to the arm pit area working your way down to the waist. A very
light application is recommended for the arm pit area.
Once this area is completed commence spraying their lower section waist to feet.
Have your client turn so you are able to spray the other side of their body.
19
Page 25
FRONT OF THE BODY
You should now have your client standing directly in front of you.
When starting the frontal area, spray in a downward motion only, between the collar bone and
bottom of the breast or chest (this stops solution being sprayed into there face). Be careful not to
over spray in between the cleavage. Lift client’s arms above their head and spray in a downward
motion from just under their arm to under the breast. Once this has been done, spray remaining
abdominal section.
When spraying the front leg section, be careful not to over spray the knee section as this is a thick
skinned area and will hold the solution easily.
To avoid this, split the front leg into two sections : thigh area and calf area.
Spray the upper thigh area to the top of the knee and then spray below the knee to the feet. Once
this is done have the client turn their leg out wards and spray down the inside leg from the waist to
the ankle in one motion. Now have the client bend the knees a little bit and spray a light cover over
the knee section. You have now completed the front torso section.
HANDS
Have your client stand in front of you with their hands placed at out in front with their palms facing
down and ngers slightly spread. Only spray from the wrist down to the nger tips.
Angle the applicator so you can spray the left side of the hand, then the right side of the hands.
Remember to apply only a light coat on the hands.
FACE AND NECK
When applying solution to the face area, explain to the client what you are about to do so they can
prepare themselves. Advise them they will feel a mist like sensation and should hold their breath.
The client must close their eyes. Move the applicator over the face area quicker than you would
over the body.
There are 4 strokes to spraying the face and neck area:
1st down centre of face.
2nd have your client turn their head to the right and spray the left side of the face and ear.
3rd have your client then turn their head to the left and spray the right side of the face and ear.
4th have your client lift their head in an upwards direction and spray a light coat underneath the
chin and neck area. This should be a very light stroke as you are naturally lighter in this
area.
FINAL CHECK
Now that you have completed the full body spray, step back from the client to see if there are any
obvious marks on the body or if you have missed anywhere. If you feel there is no further spraying
to do, remove the hose from the spray applicator and run the warm air over the client to assist in
drying.
The solution may leave a slight tacky feeling for up to 15 minutes on the skin. This is normal.
Advise the client that excess bronzer may rub off onto clothing but will wash out of most garments.
20
Page 26
CHAPTER 9
AFTER SPRAY
RECOMMENDATIONS
AFTER TANNING CARE
A substantial tan will develop within 2 hrs after the application. However, for best results, SunFX
recommends to not shower or bath for at least 5 hrs after.
Also inform your client of the following points:
• Avoid touching your hands to your body because, although the spray feels dry, it will come off
on your ngers and hands and they will end up brown.
• Avoid rubbing and try to prevent perspiring if possible.
• Avoid close personal contact due to chance of rub off.
• As you go to sleep be aware of where your hands are. Make sure they do not rest on bare skin
as they will perspire and you will end up with a brown palm.
• In the morning when you may wake with your face being very brown, do not panic! When you
shower your face will go back to a light golden brown.
• Due to the bronzer you will nd the water will go brown in the shower. This is normal as you are
just seeing the excess bronzer wash off. It is denitely not your tan but only the bronzer.
• Avoid crossing your ankles as you watch TV or lie in bed.
EXTENDING THE LIFE OF THE SPRAY TAN
Recommend to your client that they do not exercise or perspire excessively between the tanning
and the showering phase. Avoid getting wet out in the rain or watering gardens wherever possible.
Also, advise to your client that applying a moisturiser twice daily after showering will signicantly
extend the life of their tan. SunFX Glow All Over Tan Extender is perfect for this. Moisturisers
hydrate the skin and so will reduce the rate at which the skin naturally exfoliates and will keep their
tan looking better for longer. Using a non-abrasive soap such as the Body Wash will aid in the life
of your tan.
Other considerations in maintaining their tan are to avoid long baths; spa’s and extended
swimming sessions. (Chlorine can remove a spray tan application very quickly). Shorter sessions
are preferable. Also avoid products designed to exfoliate your skin towards the end of the life of
the tan, around 5 – 10 days after.
CAUTION : NO SUN PROTECTION FROM SPRAY TANS
The SunFX spray-on tan formula DOES NOT provide any sun protection and DOES NOT
contain sun screen. Strongly advise clients to apply sunscreen to prevent sunburn when outdoors.
Burning the skin and peeling will leave major cosmetic affects to the tan plus the eventual damage
to the actual skin.

CHAPTER 10
CLEANING YOUR
PRO SERIES SYSTEM
APPLICATOR CLEANING
Cleaning is a necessary part of your regular care of your spray unit. The unit’s applicator
and cup should be cleaned after each days use to maintain consistency in performance
and the long life of the parts. Please follow these instructions carefully
1. Remove the air hose from the applicator.
2. With the applicator placed over the sink, carefully unfasten the solution cup.
3. Pour excess solution back in to the bottle.
4. Fill your empty applicator cup with warm water (NOT hot) and attach your
applicator unit back onto your turbine hose.
5. On the handle of your applicator, wind the adjusting wheel all the way to number
‘12’ in order to open the spray orice fully.
6. Spray the water solution for about 20 seconds through the applicator. This
process will dissolve any build up of residue which can hinder spray
performance.
7. Empty excess water from applicator cup into the sink.
8. Repeat steps 4 to 7 if necessary.
9. Remember to return wheel back to its original position after nal rinse.
10. Use a towel to lay the cup and applicator on and allow to air dry overnight.
DO NOT turn applicator upside down and pour water into the applicator
DO NOT submerse the applicator in water
DO NOT remove the pick up tube
DO NOT poke or push anything into the front nozzle
22
Page 28
HOSE and TURBINE UNIT CLEANING
To ensure the turbine unit and hose stay clean, wipe over daily with a warm damp cloth.
It is imperative that the vent on the bottom of the turbine is kept clean to allow full access to the
air. Wipe away any spray or other matter from the vent every night using a warm damp cloth. ( see
below ) PLEASE NOTE: Refrain from using harsh cleaners that could scratch the surface.
Fig 1
Use a damp soft cloth to wipe the bottom
of the turbine unit at least once a day or
more during heavy periods of spraying.
The base of the unit turbine should remain
in a similar state as shown in Fig 1.
Fig 2
Failure to maintain a regular cleaning schedule
for your turbine can result in damage and breakdown.
Do not allow the turbine to clog as illustrated In
Fig 2
