Ohio Nuevo Sol Tanning Certification Practice Exam – Study Guide & Prep

Customers should be informed that tanning products containing bronzers do not provide sun protection and can cause staining of clothing. Bronzers are primarily cosmetic products designed to enhance the immediate appearance of the skin by darkening it and giving a tanned look. However, they do not contain SPF (sun protection factor) and therefore do not shield the skin from harmful UV rays. This emphasizes the importance of using a separate sunscreen if the individual will be exposed to the sun, to prevent skin damage.

Additionally, bronzers can transfer onto clothing and other fabrics, leading to potential staining. It is crucial for customers to understand both of these aspects to avoid the misconception that bronzers are a substitute for sun protection and to prevent any unwanted marks on their clothing from product use. This knowledge helps them make more informed choices about their tanning products and skin health.
