The Darkest Spray Tan Solution – Sunjunkie

November 27th 2015 Jon Higham

Here at Sunjunkie we often get asked “What is the darkest spray tan solution that you do?” and the honest answer is there isn’t one.

Okay so as you are all aware, everyone has different skin tones and types which means one thing… Spray tan solutions will have different results on everyone. What may promise dark results for one skin tone may not be dark for another. For example, blonde’s naturally have a lighter complexion to brunettes, so will only need a lighter shade of fake tan in order to achieve a beautiful natural tan, whereas brunettes tend to have the much sought after olive complexion so can get away with using a darker spray tan solution

The darkest percentage of spray tanning solution that Sunjunkie produces is the 14% which is available across all of our ranges, however when someone asks the famous “what is the darkest spray tan solution that you do” question I will always analyse their skin tone before I reply. For fair skin i tend to stick to the 10% occasionally pushing this up to 12% should our clients insist on a darker shade. For brunettes the most common percentage to use on their skin tone is the 12% again occasionally pushing this up to 14% should they insist on having the darkest solution.

But the message i really want to get across today is that by using a higher spray tan solution percentage does not mean that your tan will be darker, as skin tone and type HAS to be taken into account.

Here at Sunjunkie we have tested this theory many times and the results have been the same every time. If you spray a very light skin toned person with the same spray tan solution as a dark skin toned person, the results will simply not look the same and there is a high chance that the person with the lighter skin tone will have very unnatural results as the solution percentage will be too high and not be the right color for their natural skin tone.

It is no secret that fake tan and spray tan solution has had its fair share of negative publicity, from orange looks to streaky legs, but it is for the reason of people using a product that is not made for their skin tone in trying to achieve a tan that is simply too dark for their natural complexion which leaves them looking un-natural.

Our advice is to use the correct percentages on clients with a certain skin tone – Below is our spray tan solution + skin tone guide to help you in choosing the correct percentages for your clients.

6 – 8% = Very fair/ light skin tone

8 – 10% – Light to Medium skin tone

10 – 12% = Medium to Dark skin tone

12 – 14% = Dark/Olive skin tone

Sunjunkie have a collection of 4 spray tan solutions to choose from, all available in a light, medium or dark shade to suit every skin type.

The Best Spray Tan Solution for Blondes – Sunjunkie

September 15th 2015 Jon Higham

Spray Tan Therapists need to take extra care when it comes to choosing a spray tan solution for clients with blonde hair as they need to ensure that the shade of the tanning product compliments their skin tone and hair colour. Most spray tan solutions are only formulated for people to achieve the darkest possible look, mainly brunettes and olive skin people. Its no secret that when you put a dark shade of tanning solution on someone with a fairer skin tone or hair colour, the results are… Questionable!

Blondes can sometimes look a little bit washed out with a pale complexion, the right tan can add a much needed complexion boost and add a bit of colour and warmth to pale skin, However it is important that you find the right shade of spray tanning solution as you know by now that a spray tan is not suited for every skin tone, they come in many different shades and colours.

Here is our list of the perfect spray tan solutions for blondes to achieve the most naturally tanned complexion possible.

Sunjunkie Supreme Spray Tan Solution – The Sunjunkie supreme tanning solution will instantly give blonde clients a natural tanned complexion, the perfect product to add a touch of colour to your pale skin. The Sunjunkie supreme spray tanning solution is available in many different strengths, for anyone new to spray tanning, the higher the strength, the darker the colour. Ideally Sunjunkie recommend the 8% Supreme spray tan solution for clients with fair hair/skin. This will ensure that your client has a perfectly natural looking tan and will dress their skin with a nice warm glow, without looking unnatural.

The Sunjunkie Supreme Spray Tan Solution will last for 7-10 days and will fade evenly which is essential as a streaky and patch tan can be noticed from a mile away on pale skin.

The Hidden Benefits of Fake Tan – Sunjunkie

August 7th 2015 Jon Higham

Fake tan has many different benefits, from a safe alternative to harmful UV rays, to giving you a little confidence boost that naturally comes with having a nice healthy glow. Many people use fake tan for many different things, to achieve the skin tone that they want, to hide skin blemishes, or just simply because they love having a tan.

LIFE IS BETTER WITH A TAN

The beauty of fake tan is that it can be used for almost everything, and in this blog i will be talking about the uses and benefits of fake tan that not many people know about. So lets get started, here are my top 5 benefits of fake tan and what i use them for.

1: Looking like a Greek Goddess – Yes that’s right, the main reason and the main benefit of fake tan is to get a flawless tan. There is nothing better than waking up with a nice olive complexion. Your clothes seem to look better with a tan, a tan makes you appear slimmer and more toned. But not only that, you feel better mentally.

2: Improving your skin complexion – My number 2 reason to wear fake tan is to improve the complexion on both your face and body. Everybody hates spots, wrinkles and any other imperfections we may have on our face. Fake tan is a great help in hiding our skin blemishes. The main places that are prone to breakouts, and skin blemishes is our face so make sure you use a non greasy fake tan such as the Sunjunkie facial self tanning mousse

3: Improves Self Confidence – I was seriously debating putting this reason as my number 1. I genuinely feel on top of the world when i have a nice healthy glow. I know that my complexion looks flawless, i know that my tan looks a great colour and at that moment in time, nothing can put a downer on my happy mood! The saying “Life is better with a tan” is so true.

4: Safe Alternative to UV Rays – As much as everyone loves to relax on a hot beach in a tropical climate, its no secret that too much UV Rays can be damaging to your skin and cause premature ageing. The human body still needs sunlight to prevent various vitamin D deficiencies, so many scientists and health experts recommend still getting a certain amount of UV exposure.

5: Skin benefits – The Sunjunkie fake tan collection contains many skin enhancing ingredients such as Vitamin E and Aloe Vera which have been clinically proven to improve skin complexion and radiance. Sunjunkie also infuse all of their fake tan with natural moisturizing ingredients which help to naturally hydrate the skin further improving the appearance of wrinkles.

So there is my top 5 uses of fake tan guys! I’d love to hear what your favorite reasons are to use fake tan.

Fake Tan for Face

June 26th 2015 Diane Higham

To put it simply, the face is a bit of a b*tch to tan! The face is one of the hardest areas to apply fake tan no matter what skin type you have. Its the first thing that people look at when they see you (unless you are Kim Kardashian). It’s no secret that the face is prone to skin disorders more than any area of your entire body from oily skin and spots, to dry skin and enlarged pores.

Some of the most common problems that people face when using a fake tan on their face are, an uneven finish, sticking in certain areas (pores), fades quicker than everywhere else and in some cases can trigger breakouts.

In order to tackle these problems head on, i always give my clients the same piece of advice – “Find a fake tan that is specifically made for facial use!!!”

The face is the most sensitive area on the entire body, it reacts differently to certain ingredients that other areas of the body are unaffected by and protects itself differently to other areas of the body. What might work extremely well on your legs may not have the same affect on your face due to a change in sensitivity, skin type, and even texture of the skin.

By finding a self tan for your face and i mean one that has SPECIFICALLY been made for your face, you will see an almost instant result. For example the Sunjunkie face tanning collection does not contain any alcohol, oil or preservatives, as these are known ingredients to trigger dry skin conditions and acne. Instead the Sunjunkie face tanning collection is filled with deep skin penetrating moisturizing ingredients and natural tanning agents that are suitable for sensitive skin.

There’s a saying at Sunjunkie “A great tan is one people don’t talk about, like great make-up it enhances your look and minimizes flaws… Something Sunjunkie have mastered”

Sunjunkie offer fake tan for facial use in a number of different forms such as formulated face tanning mousse and face tanning mist. Both are effortlessly absorbed by the skin and have a very light silky smooth texture that makes it a dream to apply on to the face.

The Sunjunkie face tanning collection contains more skin penetrating ingredients which means your tan doesnt just sit on the first layer of skin, it goes much deeper than this and as a result lasts much longer than other fake tans.

The Sunjunkie face tanning collection is available online here

Below are a few examples of how your face tan should look after applying the Sunjunkie face tanning product.

Spray Tan for Wedding | Bridal Spray Tan Tips – Sunjunkie

It’s no secret there is a chance that fake tan can sometimes transfer onto clothing, and bed sheets and it is exactly the same with a wedding dress. The only difference is that a wedding dress is usually a perfect shade of white, so fake tan will show up 100 times more than on a standard item of clothing. Another issue with having a spray tan for your wedding day is facing a potential fake tan disaster, by disaster we mean, a streaky finish or a colour that is too dark for your natural skin tone.

A spray tan for a wedding is one of the most important factors of your big day, its up there with getting your hair and make-up done, however if it goes wrong there is little or nothing that you can do about it as it is incredibly difficult to remove a freshly applied layer of fake tan! It is essential that you pick the perfect solution specifically designed for wedding spray tans.

Sunjunkie Spray Tanning Solution for Brides

Sunjunkie have created a solution to massively reduce the fake tan colour transfer onto your beautiful dress by developing a spray tanning solution specifically made for brides.

The Sunjunkie Crystal Bridal Spray Tanning Solution has the same appearance as water, it applies as a clear liquid but develops exactly the same as a normal spray tan solution. Our expertly formulated solution is designed to stop the colour transfer of fake tan on to clothes and bed sheets, but more specifically wedding dresses.

The Crystal Bridal Spray Tanning Solution is available in many different strengths depending on the clients skin tone, from a light 6% all the way up to an olive 14%. However as most brides tend to favor a light natural tan on their wedding day, the 6-10% solution is the most popular to use.

The Crystal Spray Tanning solution has proved to be a favourite for professional and mobile spray tan therapists and was recently used at the New York Fashion Week in preparation for the catwalk shows. The solution will gives a complete streak free application and is infused with the finest moisturizing ingredients and natural tanning agents.

Our spray tanning solution for brides lasts for 5-7 days and is available online at here
