Re: Spraying Africian Americans

Great question. In my experience, African Americans like spray tans because it evens out their skin tone. It gives them beautiful flawless looking skin. Also, it doesn't make their skin "darker" instead, it has a warming effect - - like a sun kissed look.

You'll actually need to consider their skin tone when deciding what DHA to spray. I initially made the mistake of thinking I would be safe to use 11-12%, but the person was a lighter skinned African American, and they ended up having a strange "orange tint" in areas where their skin was lightest. Even a 8-9% DHA will give African Americans the even skin tone they are looking for, so I would start there, unless the person is very dark skinned naturally.

Hope this helps!
