I have noticed lately that when I am spraying someone I will see white spots where it looks like the solution isn't absorbing. What is this? It never is a problem after the first shower and the tan looks even but I want my first impression to be better. Can someone help?

I have noticed this lately too. The tan seems to turn out fine after a shower but its as I am spraying the spots show up right away, and show up as light patched during development almost as if there is a barrier. I would be curious to learn what this is

What solutions are you using?

Using a private labeled solution and breeze...never used to happen before

White spots are a Fungal infection (definately). I just had it, still do, here's what I know.
It's very common, the white spots are small yeast deposits on the skin that act as a super sunblock so the skin there turns white. It's most common on the upper body (coming from the hair) but I have it on my legs.
Cures: You can ask your doctor for generic Lamisil (about $5) or you can use lamisil cream which is available at walgreens etc. (store brand now available). OR - I've heard you can put "Selsum Blue" on your skin and leave it for a minute before rinsing. After talking to my pharmacist we decided to try "Nizoral", another dandruff shampoo, as it contains an anti-fungal as the actve ingredient.
I thought it wouldbe easier to bathe in it that put on a cream & I wasn't into the pill option which honestly sounds like the best aproach.
Your pharmasicist should be able to help you more.
Good luck.
PS: I learned this as the 3rd lesson in tanning class.
I was told it takes a good month for it to clear up either way.

Um, no.

That would be for TANNING, this is sunless.

Very true indeed. Not the answer for sunless.

But I have been seeing the same problem and it appears [for me] mostly on the lower leg. I thought it might have something to do with shaving, since it's summer and some women might shave more [too much]?

I've asked a couple of clients if they use the kind of razor that has a "strip" of something on it that turns gooey after a while. But clients get all freaky when you ask them about shaving because they don't want to "get the answer wrong" or something ('what, me? shave? no - never!) and I never find out what connection these people have.

I added a portable a/c unit to help take extra moisture out of the air if it's humid, but alas, not the cure.

My spray tans used to be pretty close to perfect. Now, I start off with the feeling of complete dread. And pain, since I developed a Ganglion Cyst on my wrist from doing spray tans . God help me. If it ain't one thing, it's six-hundred and ninety-seven.
