Help! Good or Bad Idea for retail product for tanning.... - 12-05-11, 07:38 PM

Hey Geeks,

Do you think it would be a good or bad idea to sell exfoliation gloves ( you know the ones you use in the shower) after a spray tan??

Obviously the tan starts to go patchy after a few days so they can use the gloves to scrub off the tan after these few days

What do you think?

Thanks

Hi,

I do mobile beauty and I sell these to customers and they go down well for help the tan fade evenly and also post waxing to prevent in growing hairs.....a great way to make a few extra pounds on top of a treatment.

I sell them on the basis that it helps there tan fade evenly to avoid it going patchy.....they normally snap them up when I say that! advise gentle exfoliation too rather than harsh scrubbing x

If I was to sell them I would not mention fade off at all.

I would sell them for 'perfect pre tan exfoliation'.

I would not want to put it into their head that there may be patchy fade off.

yep i agree with the others, if they have exfoliated before the tan then it should fade off evenly. I would sell them for pre-tan care rather than aftercare xxx

I think it's a good idea. Does anyone know where you could buy them in bulk cheap enough to make a profit? X
