Facial and then spray tan?

[Annemarie]

One of my regular clients wants a facial and a spray tan, the only problem is I could only fit bothe treatments in on the same day. This means she would be having a facial and then a spray tan straight after. My question is would this be o.k to do as I have never did it this way before.

 

[SuzieBeautique]

Personally I wouldn't. The tan would just block the open pores and undo the deep cleansing. I would suggest to the client it would perhaps be more beneficial if she had the facial say a week after the tan, once it has faded xx

 

[Annemarie]

Mmm I did think of that but she really wanted the facial aswell because it's her birthday this week and she's having a big party. Unfortunately I could only fit the two treatments in together. I will advise her against it. Thanks for the help

Just remind her that having a facial can bring out a few spots after deep cleansing. She wouldn't want to be going to her birthday do with a couple of spots!

I gave myself a little mini facial the night before a spray tan once and my face was literally covered in black heads after the tan. Not sure if my pores were still open or if it was a reaction to the tan used but I looked dirty! It took about a month to eventually get rid of them all. I felt disgusting. xxx

I would defo not do this either. Any creams you use will act as a barrier and her tan will either go streaky or not take.
Sometimes, I know it's a pain but you just have to say no to some clients if you don't have time x

Oh god she'd be mortified if that happened:irked: and so would I for that matter lol

I would recommend not tanning her face after a facial and that she uses a facial mineral powder bronzer instead.

That's a good idea. will suggest this to her. Thnaks

I was always told at college that clients shouldn't put anything on their face for at least 12 hours. Definitely not bronzer! x

Absolutely! For 24 hours.

I never tan my daughters face, as I come up her neck, I pull the gun back so it fades into her jaw line.
This is because she feels the tan makes her face look dirty and after a couple of days of makeup remover, it's all gone anyway.
I don't do facials (yet) but I can recomend the max factor bronzer to match in with 10% or higher, tans. After the 24 hours of course:hug:

 

[Tan Envy]

Absolutely! For 24 hours.

I was referring to when she goes out so she isn't a "pale face" lol

Also, pure minerals can be used immediately after high end treatments such as microdermabrasion, laser, chemical peels and the like unlike chemical powders or bronzers.

You could spray tan her body and leave her face out. Then retail her a 'tan in the can' so that she can apply it to her face the next day. Great retail opportunity

I personally think after your facial you should leave your skin alone to gain the full benefit of it. That's just my opinion. I wouldn't be telling my clients to put anything on their skin for 24 hours, be it pure minerals or not.
I care more about my client getting the most benefit out of their treatment than retailing to them and grabbing their £££. But that's me. Everyone thinks different x

I apply minerals immediately after a facial, microderms and even peels. Not many clients want to go back to work or leave with bare skin. The minerals I use are 100% pure.

Realistically most clients cannot wait 24 hrs with bare skin if they have work the next day and such.

I suppose you can give her advice on what her options are and let her decide!

I agree.

I believe that it would depend on the type of facial you were performing. With a mini facial I would have no problem carrying out a spraytan afterwards as when I apply my own tan at home I would firstly do a mini facial. A deep cleanse facial is perhaps a different story, as mentioned before, not advisable prior to a special occasion. I always recommend starting a facial routine at least 6weeks in advance. This minimises the risk of a breakout or even an allergic reaction...we cannot patch test every product we use in the salon!
P

There are facials which include an application of self tan. Perhaps this could be
a solution?
