IMPORTANT
RECOMMENDATIONS & WARNINGS
ADHERE CLOSELY TO SUNFX GUIDELINES
SunFX has signicant experience in providing the very best recommendaons and
techniques for the use of our SunFX products and SunFX Pro equipment. Non-adherence to
these guidelines can lead to problems including equipment malfuncon, incorrect
applicaon and undue wastage of tanning soluon. Non- adherence can even cause
cosmec problems on clients leading to possible contraindicaons directly related to poor
spray applicaon technique. We highly recommend all therapists and users of the SunFX
Pro systems and tanning products become thoroughly familiar with the informaon
contained in this training manual and, if available, on the training DVD supplied.
CHILDREN
Children under the age of 16 should have a parent or a guardian present whilst being
sprayed.
PREGNANCY
SunFX does not recommend spraying pregnant or lactang mothers without medical
guidance.
SENSITIVE SKIN
Clients who have very sensive skin or who are unsure of their skin type, should consult
their GP or Doctor before receiving a test patch or full body spray tan. A test patch should
be done at least 24 hours before their full body spray.
HANDS
We recommend you wear disposable gloves to ensure that any spilled tanning soluon will
not stain your hands.
INHALATION BY THERAPIST
Although inhalaon of our product has not been shown to be harmful, sta members
spraying repeated customers in a conned area may desire to use a disposable paint mask
or similar protecon to eliminate excessive inhalaon of any atomized product.
PROTECTION FOR CLIENTS
SunFX recommends having eye protecon (usually thin solarium goggles are ne) nasal
plugs and lip balm available in the event a client requests one or all of these.
NO SP FACTOR
A tan produced by applicaon of DHA does not oer any protecon against UV rays. Please
ensure your clients are advised of this. We recommend the use of a quality sun block when
exposing your skin to the sun’s UV radiaon.

CHAPTER 1
SYSTEM SET UP
A QUICK SET UP GUIDE FOR YOUR SUNFX PRO TANNING SYSTEM
SUNFX PRO PROFESSIONAL TANNING SYSTEM
PRO SERIES TOWER
The SunFX Pro Professional turbine produces a constant supply of air to be applied
through the hand held spray applicator. Air is taken in at the base of the unit then
through the hose and directed to the applicator.
Please ensure the turbine unit is on a at working surface or oor, this will prevent the
vent being covered which may cause overheang and damage to the turbine motor. We
also recommend that the turbine be placed as far away from the spray area as possible
to limit any spray being sucked in by the vent. Hint: Place around to the side of the tent
There are three indentaons in the top part of the unit. These are used to hold the spray
applicator when not in use. At the base of the unit there is an intake for the hose and a
place to plug in the power cord.
WARNING: If the electrical cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a cord set
recommended by the manufacturer or its service agent. Please contact SunFX for further
advice in this situaon.

SUNFX PRO PROFESSIONAL TANNING SYSTEM
PRO SERIES MINI
The SunFX Pro Mini turbine is very much like the SunFX Pro Professional Series Tower. It
allows a constant supply of air to be placed through the spray applicator. Air is taken in at
the base of the unit then through the hose and directed to the applicator.
The Pro Series Mini is designed to be mounted conveniently on the wall. It can also be
placed on the oor.
If choosing a oor locaon please ensure the turbine unit is on a at working surface as
this will prevent the vent being covered which may cause overheang and damage to
the turbine motor. We also recommend that the turbine be placed as far away from the
spray area as possible to limit any spray being sucked in by the vent.
You will nd the Mini series has an intake for the hose and a place to plug in the power
cord at the base.
A wall mounng kit can be, provided enabling you to aach the turbine to the wall.
For added convenience an applicator holder is included. This holder is designed to be
mounted on the wall.
BASIC FUNCTIONS OF
THE SPRAY
APPLICATOR
The SunFX Pro Series Applicator
introduces our Acetyl Drive System. This
removes the need for internal metal
components, eliminang all forms of
corrosion, and increases the applicators
life span and reliability. Please take a
few moments to familiarize yourself
with the basic features.

UV TANNING
One popular form of tanning is the use of the Ultra Violet (UV) method. This involves exposing the
body to direct sunlight or in a conned environment ulizing UV eming light bulbs, commonly
referred to as tanning salons or sun beds. UV tanning relies on the formaon of melanin in the lower
skin layers, which in response to the UV exposure, turn brown. It is this melanin that protects the skin
from damage by the sun by absorbing and scaering light. This method will turn the skin brown but
can also lead to acute and even chronic skin damage and may greatly increase the risk of skin cancer
SPRAY TANNING
An alternave method is the applicaon of cosmecs which cause the skin to turn brown.
DIHYDROXYACETONE : THE AMAZING DISCOVERY
Dihydroxyacetone is commonly abbreviated ‘DHA’. This unique ingredient was discovered over 50
years ago and has been gradually improved to oer excellent tanning results that rival or exceed that
from UV sources. DHA was originally used in oral medicaons to assist in the treatment of some
childhood diseases ( specically glycogen storage disease ) but its tanning eects were accidentally
stumbled upon when, by chance, it was spilled onto the skin.
DHA works by being applied to the skin. The DHA then reacts with the skin proteins found in the top
most layers of the skin. The brown hue can appear in as lile as 2 hours, but for best results 5-7 hours
will be required for the full tanning eect to take place. The extraordinary benet of DHA tanning is
that it can not be washed o, but fades as the upper layers of the epidermis are naturally exfoliated.
BRONZERS & HOW THEY WORK
As menoned DHA takes 5-7 hours to fully develop. Because of this there is a real need to use a
temporary cosmec color. These cosmec colors are oen referred to as Bronzers. Bronzers achieve
two things:
1. A visible guide to ensure proper coverage during spraying
2. To have the client leave the salon with a tan immediately aer spraying
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BRONZERS & DHA
As explained previously, DHA causes a tan to develop during a protein reacon with the skin.
However, bronzers are cosmec colors that provide an instant color on top of the skin. They are
reasonably easy to remove in the rst shower. The aim is to ensure there is lile color dierence
between the DHA tan and the bronzers.
