The Fitzpatrick Scale- How Important Is This in The Spray Tan World
Understanding your clients skin type is essential in achieving the perfect glow.
A great point of reference in understanding your clients skin type is the Fitzpatrick Skin Chart. Developed in 1975, the system was created to understand the amount of pigment your skin has and your skin's reaction to sun exposure.
