So ive been reading alot of post about using power after spray tanning a client (especially heavier clients, or in areas that are more sweaty) and I wanted to know what everyone is using to APPLY the powder?
Is there a powder gun? or dry powder spray? Has anyone created a type of DIY powder gun?
What about using a brush or really large powder puff? Do you buy disposible ones or sanitize them after use?
I like the idea of using a large comestic brush or hair salon duster, but the cross contamination from client to client would be disgusting!
I also love the idea of adding some shimmer to the powder for a nice glow! Does anyone do that and if so what type? Do you just add it to the powder?

Please let me know your awesome after spray tanning tips!
I would appreciate it! :)

jcruz I have one client that has trouble drying. She does put on a shimmer powder and says it works fine for her. Most of our clients are dry once I put them in the standup for 5 mins.

I have tanning beds, but alot of the people I spray are not wanting to tan after. Also, mine are lay down so that would prob just ruin the tan with sweating. But that is a good idea eileen!

Yes and now for those that don't want to tan I've added a red light therapy standup to my line up. :)

the powder app after spraying was the rage last season. I tried this on myself for about 2 months last season and never felt comforatble enough with results to actually use on clients.

moderation is key if you are planning to use in your services lineup. i would only apply to armpits, arm, knee, cleavage creeses using a the brush that barbers use to swish off hair.

You can get a little duster from the dollar store to use and you can easily wash/sanitize after each use. I find that the barbers brush or cosmetic brushes are too heavy/thick and can rub the tan. The duster from the dollar store is perfect & lightweight. I bought 5and I wash it after each client and let dry just like cosmetic brushes and use the next one.

I use a old iwata spray machine and pen sprayer and attach it to this kiddie cup filled with Baby powder. My clients love this innovation and it is very sanitary

Thats a great idea

Hmmm, my clients are completely dry when I am done spraying them. There is no dry time at all and they are not sticky. Possibly too much solution is being applied to your clients?

I find it takes a good hour for your body to feel completely dry after a spray tan . Even tho they feel dry it is also good to apply powder around the feet so there shoes don't leave a mark as well as waist and bra area's too. Plus they like that I spray some powder under there arms until they can apply there deodorant.
