I have a very fair/pale regular client who I’ve tanned many times and she has always had amazing results – lovely deep, dark, even colour and a flawless finish.
She was recently quite poorly and was on antibiotics and steroids for around two weeks. I advised her not to have a spray tan while taking them and to wait until she was feeling better. I also explained that, even afterwards, there was a possibility her tan might develop differently while her body was recovering/from medication still being in her system, which she completely understood.
Several weeks later she came back for her usual tan, but this time it hardly developed at all – just a very slight colour change. We left it another couple of weeks and tried again, but unfortunately the same thing happened.
Nothing else has changed and she previously developed beautifully every single time.
Has anyone experienced anything similar following illness, antibiotics or steroids? And is there anything you’d recommend trying next time – different solution/DHA %, prep, or anything else – to help her achieve a deep, dark tan again? I currently use Minetan.
Any advice or recommendations would be really appreciated. Thank you! 🤎
