Should a spray tan ever peel and become patchy?
Well, that depends, our goal is to educate you on how to avoid a patchy spray tan from the get go.
A spray tan is NOT meant to totally change the color of your skin, instead it’s meant to enhance your own skin tone and provide a couple shades difference. They will last for as long as that top layer of skin is on your body (average 5-7 days). The younger the client, the quicker a spray tan fades. This has to do with cellular turn over rate. The older the client, the slower their cells turn over and therefore their spray tans last longer.
A natural spray tan will take a client about 3 shades darker, exceeding 3 shades can easily make a client orange or the color can develop into a darker shade that is not easily achieved by this clients skin tone.
