What is the ideal percent of DHA?
The ideal percent of DHA is very dependant on the skin type of the client and also the amount of established color. For very fair skinned individuals 8 or 9% DHA will be about right or a light application of a 10% DHA solution. For individuals with darker complexions or an existing tan, we have found that a solution like our Fuzion at slightly over 11% is prefect. Using Fuzion on a fair skinned person can lead to orangy results. We have also found that going to 12% DHA leaves very little room for error – overspraying and thus orangy results are too often the outcome. Be careful with high DHA percentage solutions.
