Black Magic Tan Prep is a body primer designed to rebalance the pH levels of the skin, lock in moisture, and minimises pores. pH stands for “potential hydrogen” and is used to describe the acid-alkaline ratio of a substance, which ranges from 0 (the most acidic) to 14 (the most alkaline).
Why is this important?
The health of your body and skin is directly linked to maintaining the right balance between acidity and alkalinity. “The skin’s barrier, which is known as the acid mantle, is responsible for keeping in lipids and moisture while blocking germs, pollution, toxins, and bacteria. To work its best, the acid mantle should be slightly acidic, at a 5.5 pH balance. When it’s too alkaline, skin becomes dry and sensitive; you may even get eczema. You may also experience inflammation.
Keeping the pH balance of your skin in the neutral zone means your skin is in the best possible condition for your spray tan.
Application
To apply make sure you press down fully on the nozzle to get a soft mist. Try a practice shot into the air first before applying onto the client.. Once you have the technique right stand back and lightly spray/spritz the client all over. Dry well.
