Title: Would you mention it? [Skin reaction to sun]
Post by: loubyloo on 06 February 2020, 09:00:55 am

Morning everyone,
I'm just back from holiday and I've had a reaction to the sun.
I had it once before many years ago, so I know it's not a contagious rash or anything.
My torso has come out in light and dark patches, a bit like vitiligo, it looks quite ugly but I want to get back to work and am worried about the reaction of clients.

I know it'll take a couple of weeks to fade along with my tan.

I don't have a basque to cover it up, even if I did, clients mostly want to take it off.
My question is, would you mention it  during booking process or make light of it when getting undressed?
I'd hate to have a client look horrified by it.

Hi, I am prone to heat rash. I don't tan and come out in red blotches. I have worked whilst having one on my stomach. I just explained the situation to clients before hand and the majority were unfazed. Most are just there to appreciate your other assets :).

Yeah maybe just explain to them the situation but that it will fade over time.

I'm sure they wouldn't be horrified but at least you've made them aware

Thanks girls I've taken a booking for tomorrow and I'm sure it'll be ok.
