Not only does a quality spray tan enhance your complexion and boost sun protection, but it also increases your self-esteem and refines your poise, which renders additional value in endless applications! From job interviews and conference calls to work meetings, sales pitches, and even first dates, a great spray tan can give you the confidence you need to wow your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there is another side to spray tanning that is not so spectacular. Many tanning enthusiasts, especially beginners, tend to run into a few problems with spray tans. One of the most common spray tanning problems is patchy, uneven skin tone. Spray tans are meant to look natural, so when they turn out splotchy and imbalanced, the entire point is defeated, money is wasted, and the person is utterly bummed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Continue reading to learn how you can fix this common spray tanning problem, as well as how to prevent it from happening again after your next session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Spray-Tan-Salon-Indianapolis-Indiana.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Spray-Tan-Salon-Indianapolis-Indiana-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Spray Tan Salon Indianapolis Indiana 317-257-8262\" class=\"wp-image-784\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Spray-Tan-Salon-Indianapolis-Indiana-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Spray-Tan-Salon-Indianapolis-Indiana-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Spray-Tan-Salon-Indianapolis-Indiana-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Spray-Tan-Salon-Indianapolis-Indiana-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Spray-Tan-Salon-Indianapolis-Indiana-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Spray-Tan-Salon-Indianapolis-Indiana.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Spray Tan Salon Indianapolis Indiana 317-257-8262<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px\"><strong>How to Fix a Runny or Streaky Spray Tan<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best way to correct a streaky or uneven spray tan blunder is to seek out professional tanning assistance. Contact a local and trusted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Indianapolis tanning salon<\/a> that can give you customized recommendations according to the type of color you were given, your natural complexion, and your skin type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will likely need another spray tanning session using a water-based solution, which your tanning consultant will recommended after you have fully and evenly exfoliated, head to toe. They will also suggest using some skin care products to better moisturize your skin before and after your spray tanning session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Patchiness With a Fading Spray Tan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In some cases, parts of spray tan can become patchy and uneven as the color fades. This is usually a result of using alcohol in the spray tanning solution. Alcohol can dry out the skin, which can cause peeling, cracking, and color fading. This is why it is recommended to use water-based spray tanning solutions. Applying a new spray tan on top of an old one without properly exfoliating first can also cause a spray tan to fade prematurely and produce a patchy complexion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Prepare for a Spray Tan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Skin care preparation is the most critical step to achieving the best possible spray tan outcome. You must fully cleanse and exfoliate the skin 24 hours in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you need to remove hair, whether by razor or wax, be sure to do so a full 48 hours before your spray tan. This allows any residual inflammation to heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the day of your appointment, prepare your skin by applying a quality barrier cream, similar to a standard body lotion but with certain essential oils and without ingredients that are incompatible with spray tan solutions. In addition to a specialty skin barrier cream, you will also need a pH balancing spray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After your spray tan, do not go to bed until your skin does not feel sticky or tacky at all. Going to sleep before your spray tan has fully dried can cause patchiness. For the first 12 hours, avoid showering, bathing, swimming, heavy exercise, rain, and any other form of water or moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Looking for a spray tan salon that meets your standards of luxury, quality, and professionalism? <\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/contact-us.php\" target=\"_blank\">Contact Broad Ripple Tans<\/a> at 317-257-8262 to learn all about our luxury <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippletan.com\/spray-tanning.php\" target=\"_blank\">spray tanning services in Indianapolis, Indiana<\/a>.
