Before recommending a tanning product, what is crucial for a consultant to understand?

Understanding the client's skin type and previous tanning experiences is essential for an effective recommendation of tanning products. Each client's skin type can react differently to various tanning products, whether they are lotions, sprays, or UV beds. Skin types range from very fair to very dark, and knowing this helps the consultant suggest products that will work safely and effectively, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions like burns or uneven tanning. Additionally, previous tanning experiences provide context regarding what has worked for the client in the past, which can guide the consultant in selecting a product that aligns with the client's comfort level and desired results. This detailed knowledge forms the foundation for personalized and safe tanning recommendations, ensuring a better experience and outcome for the client.
