stop using it......we all know the stronger the DHA the stronger the after tan smell. It happens to be a chemical reaction with your body/sweat and cannot be controlled unless less DHA is added.

One idea is to mix it with a straight accelerator without DHA. Mixing the 2 will sort of dilute the amount. So in a .5 oz cup...mix it half and half....see what happens. Add a good smelling lotion and that should help. Or throw it out cuz nothing will work for that lotion.

Not necessarly, Usually its the PH balance of the persons skin reacting to the DHA that is the culprit. And yes it can be controlled. Try the a primer towel before hand by cal tan this helps.

Norvell has aromatherapy dropps you can put in with the solution. Customer can pick what sent they would like. Great add on.

I use All About Me and it is not smelly. Has a pleasant scent that is not fruity or perfume like. New clients always comment how nice the scent is.

AYU smells great

Get a different solution....anyone use a different solution that they find doesn't have a bad after tan odour? Could be the solution. Don't the spray tan's have a clear solution to neutralize the odour that you could add to it?
