I too have been curious about booster drops - I've never used them but have been in the airbrush Spray business for a while. Why would you use the drops rather than just move up to a higher % of DHA solution ??

so that you can darken solution to suit each individual client

I have been in sunless spray business for year and half now and have not yet tried booster drops, I agree with Girlietan about move up to a higher DHA % in solution , I keep 8%, 10% and 12% DHA solution on hand and use as clients skin type and need.

I agree with everyone else, although I have tried booster drops and found they were more cumbersome than what they were worth.

If you don't wish to carry three levels of solution , just keep a good 10% in stock and spray lighter/faster to imitate an 8% level, spray a little heavier/slower to imitate a 12%.

Ok the only boosters I have found and everyone whom I talk to says the boosters are only cosmetic. they do not contain DHA at all. Some claim they do-but from a very good source who maufactures the stuff slipped me that little note. I have used them on myself and my employees and it just showers right off-they arent any arker than the last time they airbrushed nor was I. So make your own conclusions and bfore buying ask if it actually contains DHA.

Ok The truth about booster drops atleast with what I am familular with they are Almost all DHA so they will get you darker. You do have to be careful not to use to much or it will turn your client orange. Mostly our cleints that carry it only do so in the winter so they don't have so much wrapped up in solution during the slow season. We tell people no more than 2 drops per 1 oz of 8% solution . DO NOT OVERSPRAY them

Spraytannedjenn, what drops are u using? By what company?

I just buy the gallon of the most popular color and then I have 4 oz bottles of the darkest and 4 oz of the lightest shade so I am always ready to give clients what they want. I don't want to mess with drops.

Tall, I am a Distrubuter so I really can't say without getting my posts zapped but ask your distrubuter directly how thier booster drops work. Like I said I really don't sell much of them. Mosatly to my smaller salons. Hope that helps
