Help me out please...

[Tanerexic]

I'm pretty much new to spray tanning, and I have not long bought myself a TanPro850 machine which I think is great so far. It really does do a great spray tan, but I'm finding it very hard to get the right solution to match me.

I purchased Tantricks solution 8% and a member of my family who was applying the tan on me got it wrong several times, and I needed to get into the shower as quick as 1-2-3 :lol:

When she was spraying my legs, it turned out perfect, I was loving the results, and my stomach and back was great too, but the face for some bizzare reason kept coming out speckly as if it was too fierce. I left it on anyway to see how it came out, I know I took a big risk, but actually its not that bad, BUT, I'm still not 100% happy with it. It hasn't come out patchy or anything like that, but I think I look more dirty than I do tanned. I also noticed that when I was having my under arms sprayed, the solution would keep running down my arm which I know isn't good. Was the spray gun to powerful?

I really could do with some advice here, and help would be greatly appreciated. Like I said I'm new to this, and not half as experienced as most of you guys, hence why I'm asking you.

Thanks guys,
Dan

It sounds like the gun and application was wrong,
was your member of your family qualified to spray tan or was she just going on directions from yourself, as you are new to it yourself

Thanks for the reply. I thought it may have been the gun and the application too. My step sister done the application and she isn't a professional at this. Infact, it was her first time, lol.

I didn't expect excellent results straight away from someone who doesn't really know what to do.

I think what makes it hard is, my machine didn't come with any instructions so we are unsure how and when to lower/higher the pressure on the machine. I think personally, it was because the pressure may have been nearly to max which it was. It isn't a thick solution so it needen't have been on max as far as im aware.

Whereabouts in Brum are you?
If you fancy popping to my salon i will give you a tan with my solution and see if that's any better. You could bring your machine along too and we could have a look at the settings

Hiya sounds like it has something to do with the application of spray tan solution running down arms means gun too near body you have to have it at a certain distance from body also the speckles on face sound the same to me, application errors try reading manual or training instruction or get further educated by going on utube and type in spray tan videos. Hope this helps x

Thank you for your help :hug:

I was watching a video on YouTube earlier come to mention it, it was the suntana video which I thought was very educational.
