Angelina,

Exactly right--a spray tanner could be causing over spray simply because they don't know what they are doing.
We recently got a call from someone who said that their formula was incredibly sticky, and then went on to state that they were spraying 2 OZ of formula just on the client's face. No wonder if was sticky!

Experience is key, and I agree with you that some solutions can cause a "fog" instead of a nice mist--sometimes this is due to a solution that's too heavy. If the solution is heavy then the spray gun has to work that much harder to "fire" the solution out of the gun; usually this results in solution literally bouncing off of the skin you're spraying (and that creates a lot of over spray obviously).
