Can you mix spray tan solutions to change the %

[Pink poodle Eve]

Hi all

I'm fairly new to spray tanning, I trained with Adel and did the Crazy angel spray tanning course in march and have been working mobile.

Does anyone know if you can mix a light solution 8% with a dark solution 13% to make an in between medium?

I have some spare samples of these and wondered if this would work?

Thanks

You can mix solutions but it MUST be the same brand and range (eg.. LA Tan do gold and brown solutions and you shouldn't mix the gold & brown but you can mix the brown range).

The maths for mixing is (ALWAYS in equal amounts):

% + % = ?? ... ?? / 2 = new%

so 8 + 13 = 21 ...21 / 2 = 10.5%

So if the 2 samples you have are the same brand and you mixed them in EQUAL amounts you would get a 10.5% solution.

Yes you can mix solutions to make a different percentage. If you are using samples I would recommend that you do not mix different brands together.

You need to mix equal quantaties of the solutions. Please find equation below to work out %.

solution % + solution % = ?divide by 2 = new %
e.g (8 + 13= 21 /2 =10.5)
e.g (10% + 16%= 26/2= 13%)

Soooo.....

25ml of 8% + 25ml of 13%= 50ml 10.5%

Hope this helps x

You don't know what you might end up with

Different brands have different ingredients and you do not know how those ingredients could react when mixed together.

You could even cause a severe allergic reaction on a client and I would bet your insurance wouldn't cover you as your not using 1 brand but a concoction you made yourself.
