Underarms

I've noticed when spraying the sides of the body right above the arm pit (the flab area) and right below that it almost looks rubbed off after they have lowered their arms. The heavier the person, the worse the problem. It looks whiter and there is also a darker area next to it. I've dried them instantly after spraying and have tried applying powder. Does anyone have any tricks to prevent this? Am I doing something wrong?

Re: Underarms

I should prob. also mention I am still practicing. I am not actually spraying paying customers yet. Is it my technique?

Re: Underarms

To some degree when people lower their arms some of the bronzer is going to come off. That is not really an issue b/c the DHA has been sprayed into the skin. If you are having darker edges or darker areas those should be lightly tapped with a towel to even them out or they will get darker in those areas around the edges. Remember if something you have sprayed looks really bad, you can always wipe it off with a towel & respray.
The only other thing I can think of is you may be spraying too much solution into the armpit area, but otherwise you should be fine :-) Have you seen the tan the next yet?? How do those areas look after showering?

Re: Underarms

Thanks NatalieEllen. Yes I've seen them the day after. The ring I spoke of faded dramatically but was still slightly visible. When I sprayed it seemed to look great, not too much solution , but after they put their arms down or in another position it doubled up and created that ring. I'm going to try pulling back more around that area and maybe saving it for the end of the spray when they aren't moving so much. As I mentined, the heavier the person the worse it is. So I won't mess up the tan by dabbing and respraying? Will the cosmetic bronzer fade nicely into the already applied area or look double dipped? I was scared to try. Thank you so much for your help and time. By the way...LOVE the LVCLP! Great recommendation!

Re: Underarms

With any drips or darker lines, as long as you feather the edge the tan should turn out even. I have had to wipe a neck clean before & respray & it turned out great, I just made sure the edges blended.
If you dab & respray just make sure your lines are clean & you should be fine.
Glad you love the LVCLP :-)

Re: Underarms

How exactly are you feathering? I have been having some problems lately with running on certain clients. I did 2 ladies last night and the first one's thighs and chest ran instantly. I used the exact same technique on the rest of her body and the other lady and had no problems. This happened to me the other day when i did two ladies together. I have been using a paer towel to blot it off and respray, but it never looks even. I'm getting extremely frustrated and worried. My gun setting is at 4in and I am keeping the same distance from them. Also, I hear everyone say they only use 1-2oz of SJolie on clients and I seem to use a little more than that. Any suggestions?

Re: Underarms

Try a soft towel instead of a paper towel to lightly tap where you are having issues. As long as there is not a big blob of solution on their skin the tan should be fine after the bronzer is washed off. If you are using more solution than you see others using of the same product, you may be spraying too heavy. I would recommend turning your gun down & tanning a friend to see how it turns out & see if the issue gets resolved by a small turn down on your settings :-)

OK I will definitely try adjusting my gun and use a towel for now on. Thanks so much for all your help. I always get great info from your posts!

Re: Underarms

I dont spray the underarms...the overspray from the chest and arms seems to blend perfectly.
