We are asked quite often what to do about an open wound. Can a person actually get an airbrush tan while they have an open wound? The answer is yes! A few simple precautions will need to be taken, in order to avoid irritation/infection. The client will need to make sure they have applied an ointment (creating a barrier against any overspray), as well as a bandage to cover the wound. Our solution is organic in nature, but we still don't want to spray inside an open wound.
What about scarring? The spray is not quite like the sun, in this instance. Since airbrush solution does not require melanocytes to produce a tan, a lighter scar will appear to be darker with the tan. If the scar is darker to begin with, it will also darken up with a spray tan. However, we suggest using a q-tip to apply the barrier cream to the darker spots (that the client doesn't want to go darker), which will prevent the tanning solution from absorbing. This should produce a nice even tan all over. The same process can be used when trying to prevent sun spots from darkening up as well.
