​
Q: How do I prepare for my SunFX tan?
SunFX recommends you cleanse and exfoliate your body. This will ensure the best possible result from your spray tan by eliminating the top layers of dry and dead skin.

​

Most salons can offer protection for the mucous membranes via nose plugs and eye protection should any clients feel a preference for the use of these.
​

​
Q: How do I get my SunFX tan?
It’s easy and simple to make an appointment at any SunFX salon. Or for a superb tan from home use one of our SUMMER’S SECRET tan builders (lotion, mousse or aerosol) and SunFX Hydrating Lotion.
​
Q: Why aren’t SunFX tanning solutions listed as Organic like many others claim?
SunFX uses a unique blend of organic, natural and hypoallergenic ingredients. Though some tanning brands wish to list their solutions as organic, it is widely known and documented that the main active tanning ingredient DHA though a natural product can never be a organic product. To date no DHA company in the world has ever achieved a organic certification for their product. Hence, SunFX believe we would be misleading our precious customers into thinking that we actually have a purely organic product where in fact we would not. Even if for instance all our other ingredients were in fact organic this would still not give us a 100% organic tanning solution. We believe in insuring 100% transparency in our ingredients listing and claims.
