I have the breeze 8LN. I have had many complaints & it's even happening to me. Am i doing something wrong, or is it the product? After a couple of days, the legs get this "crackly", icky, almost like a mass of ugly freckles, all over them. I also had it on my neck!!!!! And it's very orange!! After about 4 days, you are totally orange looking.....no bronze at all. This has happened to many clients and they are complaining. I've only had this gallon for about a month now, so it shouldn't be old by any means./ And the "crackly" look on the legs lasts FOREVER....on me, 14 days. On another one 22 DAYS!!!!!! I exfoiliate and so did these ones. HELP!!!!

If you have had many complaints, have you tried other solutions?

The crackly skin you descibe is atributed to dry skin, so a solutions ingredients or not preparing for and maintaing the tan properly can all be the culprit.

On Bronzer

The solution I use not only has erythulose and aloe vera that helps even fading, it has CoQ10 and hyluronic acid to moisturize.

I would try ordering a tester of a few other solutions, try them, if it works with no problems it is the solution, if it is still happening with the new solution then it must be something you are doing, or your machine.

I did get the same effects with the Breeze products minus the orange look, maybe they dont have enough hydratant in them, I dunno!

Did it happen to lots of people, or just a select few here & there? I don't have dry skin, so wondering why it is happening to me & the clients.

Bravotan

I use Breeze #5,#9,#10.5, 82dn 10Ln...?? I never have this problem and I have sprayed 100s of very satisifed guest. I use to use CAltan, Designer skin, Fantasy tan, Norvel and NO comparison.
My clients range from age 7 to 82 years young. Normal, Oily to severe dry skin. (?) I never have a prob. however one thing that is important, as it was stated above Pre and post care a must for any solution.
If the PH is out of wack or if clients use products that mechanically or chemical removal or alter service can be an issue.
Also. STAY away from BAR soaps and antibacteria liquid soap or pure essential oil products. All can be a prob. with sunless in my experience. Prior or after service.

I use CanTans towel prep, use their maximizer spray for sunless and NEVER a prob. with orange or alligator after effects.

Also make sure your clients are Moisturizing x2 daily with prod. that do not contain mineral oil or petroleum. Anything straight oil can cause issues also.

It is alike anything...trial and error to figure out what works with your clientel. I tried alot of products before I found the best match for the majority of my clients.
Hope this helps. :)
I always hate to name products, but the following products have and poss. could effect the results or after longevity of sunless.

Jergens, Lubraderm, Olay oils, suave, keri, swiss Ives, olive oil(pure form usage), baby oil, vaseline intensive care...this is just to name a few..Past experience with these products did not fair well with our clientel. Not bad naming products, but for us it just was a prob. with our sunless service. When guest stoping using the products and utlized assisting products challenges stopped. (?) SOOOOOOO this is just FYI

Added note re: alligator skin: Are any of your clients who had this issue do they swim or utilize hot tubs often? Could be PH or chlorine issues?
Also watch for folks who do the detox wraps: Great service but runs not so well with sunless!:)

You ar so right Bravotan, What ingredients are in the moisturiser they use will affect the tan. Another no no is sorbolene cream as it is petro chemical based. Also shower gels that contain SLS will fade a tan quicker and make it go patchy.

Advise clients to use natural products that actually moisturise the skin. I tell my clients, if you cant understand the ingredient listing, dony buy it.

Too many everday moisturisers anre nothing but chemicals, and assist with the long term drying out of the skin rather than hydrating. :evil:

this info is soooo great!!! Thanks for the help. But the only question I have is.....what products out there can you use for moisturizing & bathing? Would Johnson's baby lotion be OK to use? And what about the soap? Would liquid suave be OK?
