What is the purpose of a skin type analysis before tanning?

Determining the appropriate tanning method and exposure time based on individual skin sensitivity is essential for safe tanning practices. Each person has a unique skin type that reacts differently to UV exposure. Conducting a skin type analysis helps identify an individual's sensitivity level, which can be determined through factors such as natural skin color, the tendency to burn or tan, and their history of sun exposure.

By understanding these elements, tanning consultants can recommend suitable tanning options, whether that be UV tanning, spray tanning, or a combination, as well as tailored exposure times. This individualized approach not only enhances the effectiveness of the tanning process but also minimizes the risk of negative outcomes like overexposure or skin damage. A safe and effective tanning experience hinges on this personalized assessment, enabling clients to achieve their tanning goals while prioritizing their skin health.
