I am flabbergasted at the number of inaccurate ‘professional’ opinions circulating throughout Google which are poor tanning advice. For example, below is a question that I found on Google:
Should I get medium or dark spray tan?
The response on Google is below:
“If you plan to sport your summer brights, consider a nice medium to dark tone that will give you a summer glow. In winter, there is less light, and people tend to wear darker, richer colors like greens, reds, and black. A soft golden tone may be the perfect spray tan shade during the cooler months.”
On the surface, the above response seams reasonable enough, but as you read on you’ll discover this is not the case.
So let me start by saying that Sundance Collections PTY LTD is professionally formulated and manufactured by me. I have over 30 years of experience in both colour analysis and formulation manufacturing. In this blog, I will educate you and speak truth into some of the ridiculous answers so-called “professionals” post on Google:
Unfortunately, there’s no regulation of the fake tanning industry to prevent anyone calling themselves a “professional” spray tanner, and this is evidenced through the wide-ranging and inaccurate opinions available on Google. How can you, as a consumer, ascertain whether the ‘professional’ is genuine and that their ‘professional’ opinions are accurate? I want to ensure the consumer receives the correct information. Therefore, I will accurately explain the answers to the Google question raised earlier below:
Should I get medium or dark spray tan – Advice from a Colour analysis and formulator?
Fake tans are always more complimentary to the user, when the fake tan is 2 -3 shades darker than the original skin colour. The depth of the fake tan should also match with the user’s skin tone, hair and eye colour. Always consider the season that you are in e.g.; Create more colour depth in Summer and lighter depth in Winter.
Choosing the right tanning depth (meaning how dark or how light) can be overwhelming, especially if you’re new to fake tanning. There is such a vast amount of misinformation and over-saturation of tanning products on the market, that it is understandable how confusing choosing the right tanning depth can be.
