A
Healthier Way to Spray
March 2009 -
DAYSPA Magazine
pg. 18
Norvell's innovation
in organics allowed us the honor to be featured in Dayspa
Magazine's Building Blocks section. We would like to
send a special Thank You to Diane Walker and the entire
Dayspa team for sharing our innovations with their readers!
Your client shields
herself from the sun to save face, but she yearns for a
bronzed glow. You've mentioned sunless spray tanning,
but the fear of chemicals makes her shy away. That
might not be the case if you offered her an organic
solution.
Rick Norvell, owner of
Norvell Sunless Spray Systems (NorvellTanning.com), says
that his Organic Tanning Solution gives eco-conscious
clients fresh-from-the-beach color. This process
begins with the water. Typically, solutions are made
with chemicals that keep them from oxidizing. Norvell
compares it to wine, which spoils when exposed to air for
too long. Not only that, but many minerals found in
water, such as iron, react negatively with DHA (dihydroxyacetone),
the ingredient in tanning solutions that generates pigment
in the skin. The result is an uneven,
undesirable-looking tan.
Norvell found a way
around these issues via special processing and airtight
packaging that earned eco-certification for the solution.
The water used for the Organic Solution is UVC-filtered.
"This kills any living matter, such as bacteria and fungus,
and extracts minerals," he says.

Sunless: The Evolution
Continues
March 2009 - Island Sun Times
pg. 83
by John P. Ribner
Norvell has become
synonymous with fabulous sunless tanning products, and we
are proud to be featured in Island Sun Times article...
Sunless: The Evolution Continues! Thank
you to John Ribner & the entire staff of Island Sun Times
for their recognition of Norvell & our Sunless Products!
The name Norvell
Skin Solutions has become synonymous with sunless tanning
innovations, and this season is no exception. Among
many new and exciting technologies, Norvell is proud to
announce the release of Organic Sun sunless spray solution.
"Organic Sun is eco-certifies, which is the European
equivalent of what is considered 'organic' here in the
U.S.," said Rick Norvell. "It's earned that
certification because the process in which it's made is 100
percent natural, and we use all natural ingredients such as
caramelized sugar, Walnut Shell Extract and vitamin C.
Instead of alcohol, we use Witch Hazel to break up the water
droplets in the solution for an even distribution to the
body, as well as aid in the drying of the solution once it's
applied." Some of Norvell's other sunless innovations
include the company's bag-in-a-box technology - which keeps
DHA solutions free from light and oxygen...

5 Tips: Spray The Right Way
April 2009 - Looking Fit
by Rick Norvell
Here are some hints & tips for achieving
a perfect sunless airbrush application:
1.
Remember to always spray enough solution in a single pass to
make the skin wet, as opposed to spraying several light
coats. Applying enough solution in one application allows
for ample solution absorption. Multiple coatings will not
absorb properly and may cause uneven results.
2. Remind clients not to use any product designed to hold
moisture in the skin during the 24 hours prior to their
sunless application. Moisturizers create a barrier between
the skin and the sunless solution which impedes the
absorption of DHA.
3. Many technicians voice concerns when it comes to applying
solution to hands and feet. When applying solution to hands,
it is best to spray in an “X” pattern beginning at the tip
of the pinky. Spray up and across the hand to the base of
the wrist, as if you were moving from 4 o’clock to 10
o’clock. Then move to the tip of the thumb, and spray up and
across the hand to the base of the wrist, as if you were
moving from 8 o’clock to 2 o’clock. Spraying in this pattern
will create an even blend into the wrist and arm, and will
help avoid a darker band around the wrist. For the feet, I
have found that the best way to solve spray issues is to
take a 1-gallon jug, and fill it with sand or gravel to
weigh it down. When you are ready to spray the feet, have
the client raise their foot and place it on the top of the
jug—as if it is a pedestal and the client is getting their
shoe shined. Lifting the foot off the ground allows the
solution to naturally wrap the foot evenly and eliminates
the overspray mess when spraying the foot directly on the
floor.
