Maybe try a diff
solution ? the one i use isnt sticky or tacky. its almost instantly dry and can be touched after a minute or two. can i just tell you that i tan in steps not head to toe for eg. this is a quick order in how i tan
*back of legs
*side of legs
*front of legs
*inside of legs
*Full back
*i get customer to turn to side with arm straight up go from wrist to the finished leg until covered
*then IF the bust needs to be lifted i do that NOW as they can lift them up themselves without wrecking any tan. Dry with hose.
*if above is not needed i do the arms in a few stages
* chest and shoulders
*side of arm working from neck to wrist.
*finish by doing hands, feet, ankles and face.
Sounds long and tedious but its actually not takes only about 5-15min (depending on the person) I might sound crazy but my tans are flawless on my part.
Good Luck. PM me if you want more detail on anything
