Description

SkinSmart – Manual Application is an advanced specialist certification focused exclusively on hand-applied tanning techniques and the delivery of luxury, high-end tanning treatments.

This programme is designed for professionals who want to move beyond spray application and offer a refined, controlled, hands-on tanning service within spa, clinic and premium salon environments.

Level 3c positions manual tanning as a bespoke treatment experience, not just a method of application.

Programme Overview

SkinSmart develops your ability to:

• apply tan manually with precision and control
• deliver flawless, streak-free results using hand application techniques
• refine and perfect areas that require detailed work
• offer a luxury alternative to spray tanning
• integrate manual tanning into premium treatment menus

This certification is about craft, control and finish – not speed.

Who This Programme Is For

SkinSmart Manual Application is ideal for:

• Spa therapists
• Clinic-based practitioners
• High-end salon professionals
• Luxury treatment specialists
• Artists working in environments where discretion, finish and experience matter

This programme is particularly suited to professionals working in:

• spas and wellness retreats
• clinics and skin centres
• luxury hotels
• private treatment suites
• premium salons

Where spray tanning is not always appropriate, desired, or aligned with the environment.

What This Certification Focuses On

This programme covers:

• manual tanning techniques
• controlled application methods
• blending and precision finishing
• hand application protocols
• luxury treatment flow and structure
• professional presentation and client experience
• working with towels, mitts and brushes
• hygiene, boundaries and best practice

This is tanning delivered as a treatment, not a service.

Professional Positioning

Manual Application allows you to:

• add a premium treatment to your menu
• differentiate your business from standard tanning services
• attract high-end clients
• work in environments where spray tanning is unsuitable
• elevate your professional offering

It is about refinement, not volume.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need to be a spray tan technician to take this course?

    No.
    SkinSmart Level 3c has been designed for qualified beauty, spa and wellness professionals who already hold skin and treatment qualifications (e.g. massage, facials, body treatments).

    Yes.
    Level 3c has been specifically developed to be suitable for spa, clinic, salon and private treatment settings where spray tanning may not be appropriate or desired.

    Yes.
