Stick with solglo or change? - 01-11-09, 12:26 PM

hiya, i am currently using solglo but when spraying myself i seem to get white patches down one arm, my best friend alo ended up with white patches on her chet, neither of us have had this problem when using other brands. My clients have never complained and keep coming back but i am thinking of changing brand to xen tan as i used to use the dark lotion and loved it. Has anyone expierienced any problems with xen tan? many thanks xxx

White marks under arms - 02-11-09, 10:36 AM

Hello! Did you train with Solglo, as they should have shown you how to avoid this white patch under the arm? Changing solution wont stop this but, its good to see what else is out there. Cant comment on xen tan not tried it. If you want to give Dawn a call, she will go through with you why you are getting white marks under the arms 07932 508084.HTH

Does this happen every time? And does it happen in the sun as well? Dawn

Hi again, certain pigmentation differences can be highlighted when we get a tan, which are not apparent usually. I dont know why solglo would bring it out more than others. Its nothing to be concerned about, a friend that I do regularly has 'lighter marks' on her outer arm.
Also in my case when I get a tan, it goes darker in the same spot above my eyebrow each time, this a pigmentation in reverse, probably caused by sun damage.
Hopes this helps and not too boring lol!!!

Hello fellow Solgloer!!!!

I use Solglo to and love it, I dont seem to have any problems with patches. it seems like its just skin pigmentation. its all to do with the melonin in the skin and sometimes can affect the DHA. if it happens in the sun it will def happenwith any other fake tan. I wouldnt worry. Give the rep Rianna a call and she will talk it through with you, she was good when I had questions on tanning in pregnancy etc... Hope this helps take care.

I recently asked this question and got no response so not to sure what the shimmers are like. I did read on another site that they block your gun so steering clear I think! I heard Solglo are bringing out a tan in a can soon? do you know anything about that? my rep didnt say much when i asked her, she said they arent launching it til Jan but im desperate for info and prices etc so let me know if you know anything! who do you buy from? Im getting the 5 litres for 99 quid in December you should put your name down!

Yeah I think they could do more with a retail range, i could do with more in my salon the rep said the tan in a can is what you sell on to customers to top up face arms etc... so should be quite good hopefully.
Yeah I know UBP are doing that offer in Dec, I had the rep call me for the first time in ages! she said I had to put my name down coz there is only limited stock at that price etc. give ubp a call and the rep will put your name down, ive never seen it that cheap anywhere else, have you??
As for the Shimmers i think i wont bother, hey let me know if you ever try it and tell me what its like.

Take Care x
