Was hoping for some advice from all those experienced spray tanners out there.
I have a friend that I regularly spray tan. SHe also happens to be a spray tanner herself too.
Three differnt ocassions that I've sprayed her, (each time using a completely different product) She's washed her tan off for the first time, after the tan development.....and underneath it looked all streaky?? particularly down the sides of her stomach. A previous time, it was just all over her, back and down her legs!! Before her first shower...the tan was completely even. SO you can imagine the shock. There are also weird dark grey patches in some spots?
WE have no idea why this keeps happening to her and It's very frustrating!!!! This has never happened to anyone else I've sprayed.
The first time two times this happened, we decided to put it down to very hot weather. It was extremely hot....so we thought that it must have been sweat causing the problem.
MInd you... I have sprayed her many times and it has turned out ok. ALthough, she did admit that she usually has at least one or two lines on her stomach or down her sides - every time!
So I'm stumped.
the last time I sprayed her (last night) it was not hot at all.
SO here are some of the reasons I can think of that may causing the problem.
1. residue from conditioner or shower gels on her skin that is stopping the tan from developing - althought we do not think that this is the culprit!
2. sweat! - It was not a hot night (as its almost winter here in Australia) However, maybe she is a night sweater?? could that explain why most of the streaks are down her sides.
3. rubbing/friction on the skin while the tan is developing? however, you would think that this would just occur in one place. Not everywhere.
Can anyone shed some light on this? or have experienced something like this with a particular client. Streaky lines keep re-occuring just on this person only?
I shook the solution well before spraying too.
thanks everyone
