A first-time customer comes in and is leaving for Hawaii in a week! She has never tanned before and has no base. What might a good lotion be for her and why?
Correct Answer
E. Idol- It's reasonably priced and a classic.
Explanation
A- Incorrect: Though she will get lots of color for the beach, building a base should be the main concern as protection against much stronger sun than Seattle!
B- Incorrect: Hempz SPF is a great choice for her to take with her on her vacation, however an accelerator should be used in order to build her base.
C- Incorrect: Inexpensive lotions can be a good choice if someone is hesitant to commit to a bottle, in any situation. Though you get what you pay for, it is better to have something on your skin when you tan than not.
D- Incorrect: A tingle, despite it's incredibly quick results, is never appropriate for an inexperienced tanner.
E- Correct: A basic lotion that is right for the customer's skin type is good to start out with. Even though it's not the least expensive lotion we have, you can still mix it with sunscreen to maximize outdoor tanning results. Also she can use it to maintain her color when she gets back!

A customer tries Aphrodisiac and loves it. They thank you and tell you they can get 1 more use out of their 0.5 oz packet. The next time you see them, you notice they have purchased enough packets of Aphrodisiac to equal the same amount of lotion that's in a bottle! You take out a piece of paper to do the math with them. You find they've spent _____ times the price of the bottle!
Correct Answer
E. 2.8x the price of the bottle, it costs almost 3 times as much to buy packets!
Explanation
The customer initially purchased a 0.5 oz packet of Aphrodisiac and was able to use it once. However, when they purchased enough packets to equal the same amount of lotion as a bottle, it indicates that they needed to purchase multiple packets to achieve the same amount. This suggests that the price of purchasing multiple packets is significantly higher than the price of a bottle. The answer option "2.8x the price of the bottle, it costs almost 3 times as much to buy packets!" accurately reflects this information, indicating that purchasing packets is almost three times more expensive than buying a bottle.

A customer says they really like the feel and smell of Spellbound, since they don't feel or smell like they've been tanning afterwords. They're seeing good results, but they're thinking since they have a fair skin type, the bronzers make them a little orange. You figure that since there is DHA in it, and you can't control the levels of it like in the Mystic, this could be the problem.What lotion would you suggest for this customer?
Correct Answer
A. Freedom, since it is the same as Spellbound but without the DHA.
Explanation
The customer is experiencing an issue with the bronzing effect of Spellbound due to their fair skin type. The presence of DHA in Spellbound, which cannot be controlled like in Mystic, is likely causing the orange tint. Therefore, suggesting Freedom, which is the same as Spellbound but without DHA, would be the best solution for the customer. This would allow them to continue enjoying the feel and smell of Spellbound without the unwanted bronzing effect.

When you ask a customer what lotion they're using, they pull out Intrigue and give it great reviews. They say that sometimes they wish they could use it as a moisturizer, if it weren't so expensive (they want to save it for tanning). What would you suggest for them?
Correct Answer
D. Suggest Enamor. It has a similar feeling as intrigue, also has no artificial bronzers, and it's vitamin complex and olive oil would increase Intrigue's benefits!
Explanation
The suggestion to recommend Enamor is based on the customer's desire to use a lotion as a moisturizer while still saving Intrigue for tanning. Enamor is suggested because it has a similar texture to Intrigue and does not contain artificial bronzers. Additionally, Enamor's vitamin complex and olive oil would enhance the benefits of Intrigue. This recommendation addresses the customer's need for a moisturizer that can be used regularly while still providing similar benefits to Intrigue.

What features in a lotion would you suggest for someone with dry skin? (check all that apply)
Correct Answer(s)
A. Hemp
C. Avocado Oil
Explanation
This is a tricky question. Read on...
Hemp is great because it helps the skin retain water moisture.
Silicone is great for all skin types, but is especially good for oily skins since it is light and doesn't leave any greasy feel.
Avocado Oil is high in fatty acids (sterolins) and vitamin E, which do wonders for giving skin a glow and restoring moisture.
Hypoallergenic is a nonspecific feature to this question!
Gels are great for anyone who does not like the traditional feel of lotions, however they are an especially appealing option for oily skin!
Keeping skin moisturized will help balance dry AND oily skin. This question is more focused on what is best specifically for the customer's issues with their skin type, however all these answers can possibly be considered correct.
