drying off after spray tan

Question: is it better to pat your skin dry after you get a spray tan or to wipe it dry?

Answer: I asked my clients to wipe it very gently in a circular motion to spread the solution evently, and that is the technique that is recommended when booth spray tanning.

When a technician spray tans you by hand they more likely will ask you to pat the excess off, or even just stand in front of the fan to air dry. That is because hand held guns use much less solution than is sprayed on you in a booth.

Just ask when you go for a spray tan what they recommend.
