Covering elbow area when spray tanning

[SUEM]

Hi, ive just started to use Fake Bake this week, i have used cocoa bay for years and had no problems. Ive noticed when i spray with Fake Bake if the client is mature and has excess skin on elbows after they have been sprayed the tan seems to have failed to get between the creases of the skin on the elbows hence a striped effect, ive not had this problem before, has anyone any suggestions to avoid this. Thanks.

cant say i've had any probs with elbows, how about asking them to bend their arm and slightly misting the elbow so you get in all the creases?

mmm difficult one to fully understand what you mean here but here goes.
What is the comparison between Fake Bake and cocoa bay...my understanding,and I may be completely wrong here but isn't the Fake Bake solution more heavily fortified with initial colour guide and therefore the solution is ..well erm a bit more gloopy and viscous.

If so then it could simply be that the solution is simply not getting in where it should be.

Unusual method I know but maybe try asking customers with this excess skin to bend their arm so as to tighten the skin..spray the elbow whilst in this position and then release.....maybe the fact that the skin is taught that the creases reduce while your spraying.

Worth a shot:hug:
