Spray Tanning - Darker areas under armpits?

[Kimberley*]

Hey,

Sprayed quite a few clients now and havent had any problems so far, sprayed my friend yesterday and she said the tan had developed much darker under her arms and looks abit dirty? Hasnt happened b4, what did i doing wrong??

could be one of 3 things either she hasnt washed it off properly if her arms have rubbed against the torso she may have transferred the bronzer it should wash off and the tan develop the same underneath
or she has used an under arm deodorant that hasnt been washed off properly before you tanned her
or she may have dry skin but thats unlikely,

the double bronzer transfer tends to happen on larger people like me! its not a bad idea to dry the arm and side of body on larger people by taking the hose off your gun before they put there arm down :hug:
ive seen you in action you sprayed me 3 times !! and i am sure its not your technique your one of our star pupils :hug:

y thankyou haha. she said it was fine before she went in the shower, but she came out with dark marks? the rest of her is fine tho. should be ok after a quick scrub x

It could also be the fact that she was a bit sweaty under the arms before the spray too as the skin will be more acidic in that area and the tan will develop quicker.

Armpits can have a tendency to go dark so it's best just to do a light spritz in this area.
I usually spray the armpits just before doing the front of the body. This way they have time to dry a bit whilst you are spraying the front of the body as the arms are in a horizontal position
