    Fresh Indulgence Electric Tan speckly

    Hi Zoe! I've just replied to your email also - I believe the range you tried was our Electric Tan, which is a lot thicker than most solutions. I'm not too familiar with the Chinese tanning systems so it is difficult for me to say if it's a problem with the gun or not (but it has to be said that...

    2015 tanning machine

    Which Nouvatan machine are you referring to?

    Best spray tan system/gun

    Hi Betty. I'd definitely go with a Wagner or Earlex built system (agree with Sunless Sun above). They tend to be the most reliable. I went to the Aura Allure product launch last night - worth checking this machine out as it's obviously going to be around and supported for a long time seeing as...

    Help-spray tan unit disaster

    Yes, as Ash says, all machines are compatible with all brands of tanning solution. I would recommend going with a Wagner or an Earlex made machine - you can't go wrong with those makes. Good models are the W610 / FreshMist, Aura Allure, and TS50. Vic, you may be thinking of MaxiMist?

    TS20 or TS50 for home and mobile tanning?

    If it's between TS50 or TS20, I'd say TS50, but you might also want to check out the new Aura Allure (made by Wagner who also make the Click N Tan machine mentioned). Not sure if I am allowed to post links to reviews or not? But if I am, try: Aura Allure Review Aura Allure Reviews

    Nouvatan or LA Tan?

    Hi Kel! Very concerned that you feel Fresh Indulgence solutions are coming out orange. If there's one thing we're known for, it's that our tans are very natural and NOT orangey. May I ask which shades you've tried? We need to work out what is going on here. Please email me, catherine at...

    Tanning Essentials Rapid spray tan machine

    We've just started offering this machine. It claims to eliminate speckley tans, so it'll be interesting to see if that is the case. It certainly looks pretty :)

    Best spray tan solution to buy?

    "I have always used OMG. They have now rebranded to DHA (goodness knows why) but still same solution." ... because they got credit accounts with all their suppliers, then simply closed the company and screwed them all out of their money. Nice bunch of people!

    Sienna X Spray Tan

    Do Sienna-X not help you out when you tell them about this problem?

    Organic and vegan friendly

    Hello! A lot of tans claim to be vegan friendly, though it is worth double checking on this and getting it in writing from the manufacturer, as many like to make all sorts of claims on their websites without any backing whatsoever. Ask for their promise that the glycerine is 100% plant derived...

    Suntana & Fresh Indulgence

    Hi Charlene! I'll try to be as unbiased as possible in reply to this. You're right that St Tropez has massive brand awareness, and that was probably why the previous owner used them. While I feel that the name "St Tropez" is well known and has meaning to a lot of people, I don't think it's...

    Spray tanning machine help

    There are a lot out there, but you can pretty much ignore all the Chinese junk on eBay and your choices are between three main brands; Earlex, Wagner, and possibly Tanning Essentials. We stock all three, but if you did a survey of everyone on here, I'm pretty sure you'd find that Earlex came...

    Dark tans - no orange please

    Completely biased I know, but when I speak to customers who try our solutions for the first time, one of the most common things I hear is that they love the colour it gives and that there's no orange to it. For you I'd recommend Caribbean Indulgence 11.5%.

    Problems with TS20 machine

    Hi Kirsty! This is a common problem caused by the TS20 sucking back in your over spray. Try putting it as far as possible away from your client (maybe around the side of your tent), that should fix the issue.

    Illegal from June to offer more than a 14% tan

    Hi pigoletto, Thanks for replying, your observations are interesting and I'm glad to know that someone else has tried this! I do have a few questions about the conclusions that you have drawn though. - What were you using to measure that they were darker than a 14%? Did you make up your...

    Illegal from June to offer more than a 14% tan

    Hi Baggy. I understood you the first time, that the study you refer to tested up to 14%. But your statement that by producing over 14%, a company is not going against EU recommendations, is incorrect. Whether or not you have personal reservations regarding this study and the time it was done is...

    Illegal from June to offer more than a 14% tan

    sparkle: I totally agree with your comment about the unprofessionalism of companies 'slating' other companies, I only hope that you've had a thorough read over this thread and that your opinion on this is not misdirected. Unfortunately, you have still not answered my question. Nobody has. I...

    Illegal from June to offer more than a 14% tan

    wonderwoman: you're absolutely right. Booster drops take the control out of the hands of the brands and into the hands of the technicians, who could use them to bring the DHA above the recommended level if they wished to. I've wondered where the rules / 'recommendations' stand on this too. Right...

    Illegal from June to offer more than a 14% tan

    "It is not flouting the EU safety recommendations to continue producing the high DHA solutions if the chemist signs to say it's a safe & stable product." Yes, it is. By definition, it is. How can you even attempt to deny this? Tell me, what does the EU recommend as the limit for tanning...

    Illegal from June to offer more than a 14% tan

    What I find so frustrating about this entire debate is that no tanning company needs to offer a tan over 14%. Most companies are withdrawing their high DHA content solutions from the market, another comes on here all guns blazing proudly boasting that they intend to flout the EU safety...
