* Sensitivity: Your skin may be more sensitive during your period due to hormonal fluctuations. This could lead to irritation, redness, or even a rash from the spray tan solution.
* Irritation: The spray tan solution can sometimes irritate sensitive areas like your bikini line, which may be more sensitive during your period.
* Uneven Application: If you experience heavier bleeding, the spray tan solution might not adhere evenly, resulting in an uneven tan.
What can you do instead?
* Wait until after your period: The best option is to wait until your period is over to get a spray tan. This will allow your skin to return to its normal state and minimize any potential sensitivity or irritation.
* Use a gentle exfoliating scrub: Exfoliating gently before getting a spray tan can help remove dead skin cells and create a smoother canvas for the tan.
* Choose a reputable salon: Opt for a reputable salon that uses high-quality spray tan solutions and technicians who are experienced in applying tans on sensitive skin.
* Ask about their sensitivity protocol: Some salons have specific protocols for clients with sensitive skin, including using a gentle formula or avoiding certain areas.
Remember, it's always best to consult with the salon staff to ensure your safety and get the best results.
