Green based tan?

[Miss Pink23]

I went to a client today and was asked if my solution is green-based as the lady who is to be doing her make-up for her wedding said that she should choose a green-based tan so that she doesnt go orange!!!! (I explained why orange-ness occurs in tanning).

I know that certain make-up can be green-based or I think yellow (I am not a MUA) to compliment certain skin tones, but I have never heard of this in relation to tans.

It annoyed me, as although it may be correct that some tans are green-based, it doesnt mean that the ones that arnt make you do orange!!!!! grrrrr

So, is it true that there are green-based solutions, she was told St Tropez and possibly Famous Dave?

There ate green based and violet based tan solution. Both are better for not throwing orange, I was taught to use green based solutions although even that won't guarantee that the tan won't throw orange if the dha % is too high for clients skin.

St Tropez, LA Tanning and Aviva are 3 that spring to mind

No no, my problems resolved with them, just business you know, as in, trying to put me out of business and ruin my name when I started i-tan Limited - competition and all that. I'm over it.... honest.
