SU-DO AIRBRUSH TANNING

The Su-do Sunless Tanning System offers completely safe, highly effective, natural looking sunless tanning treatment for men and women that supersedes all other forms of tanning, it lasts 5 to 12 days.

‘SU-DO’ TANNING PREPARATION

Clients should exfoliate thoroughly either the day before or on the day of tanning. Moisturising on the day of the tan should be avoided. If necessary use very light, non-oil based products and remove prior to tanning. Shaving or waxing should be done 24 hours beforehand to give pores time to close. Deodorant and perfume and aftershave should be avoided on the tanning day as they react with the tanning lotion. All make-up should be removed if the face is to be tanned. ‘Su-Do’ Tropical Tan does not stain hair or lips.

CLOTHING

For full body tans, female clients may choose to wear a bikini, bra and pants or be naked. Paper thongs are available for female and male clients. For partial tanning, clothing should be worn that gives access to those areas that need to be tanned. ‘Su-Do’ advises that colour may be difficult to remove from some synthetic materials, but it will wash out on natural fabrics. During and just after the treatment, please wear either dark clothing that will not show the fine brown over-spray or clothing you do not mind being discoloured. We accept no responsibility for damaged clothes.

LEAVING THE SALON

Customers are advised to wear dark, loose clothing when leaving the salon. Traces of the tanning solution may be transferred onto clothing and bed sheets unless a shower has been taken 5 hours or more after the tanning application.

DEVELOPING THE TAN

‘Su-Do’ Tropical Tan takes 5 hours or more to develop its full colour strength. All bathing, showering, swimming and vigorous exercise must be avoided at least 5 hours after receiving the airbrush tan. Small amounts of colour may be washed from the skin during bathing but this does not spoil the tan.

MAINTAINING THE TAN

With regular moisturising your ‘Su-Do’ tan will last between 5-12 days depending on skin type, skin care and bathing routine. ‘Su-Do’ recommends full exfoliation on day 4, followed by a "Top-up tan" to achieve the perfect all year round tan. ‘Su-Do’ Tropical Airbrush Tan solution offers NO PROTECTION FROM THE SUN. High factor sunscreens and regular moisturising are always recommended when exposing skin to the sun. Do not use oil-based products as they affect the ‘Su-Do’ tan. Clients who have psoriasis, eczema, cuts or abrasions or are in the first trimester of pregnancy are generally advised not to have a cosmetic tan. Su-Do also produce a Dark Tan Solution, which must only be used by those who already have a good base tan or tan very easily. Caution should be observed when using the dark tan lotion as the higher DHA content may cause skin irritation. A patch test is highly recommended prior to full tan treatment.
