Would 'tears' act as a barrier to a tan??

Michelle23 · **Would 'tears' act as a barrier to a tan?? -** 29-10-09, 09:08 PM

i did a spray tan earlier today never had any problems before but the client later text me to say that she had white lines on her face as if she'd been crying

she then said that she had been crying earlier before i got there so that might be why?

do you think the tears/tear stains would have acted as a barrier to the tan or that she'd cried after or something and just isnt telling me that?

shall i spray her face again to cover/blend the white in before she washes it off or get her to wash it off first then spray her face again?

i cant go back and do it tonight as she's busy so it would be in the morning so the tan would have developed by then.

sorry to babble on
please help xx

It is unlikely that tears before a spray tan application would act as a barrier and suspect that if the white lines do appear to be where tears would run that she has possibly cried after the tan application and before the tan has taken and thus washed the tan off....very much like going out in the rain.

I suspect if this is the case that it could well just be the initial colour guide that has washed off and that the tan has developed as normal under.
Best thing is to have a look at this when she comes back in today...if indeed the tan has been washed off simply mist over the face again.
