Don't be afraid of a green tint, it gives more of a bronze glow rather than orange. 😘

Spray Tan Q&A:
Q: Why do my client’s armpits, back and legs turn green after spray tan and how can I prevent them or remove them?
A: First of all please advise your client not to remove the spray tan product until its full developing time. The green color or any discoloration is temporary and the final tan would be in most cases fine.
Now let’s see why the green or discoloration happens:
Any residue from the products used to prepare for the spray tanning session can cause green on some areas of the body skin’s surface. This can be due to deodorant residues, hair care products- shampoo and conditioner, perfumes, soaps, lotion and even sweat left on the skin’s surface before the spray tan session.
That is why offering your client step by step pre tan instructions when they book the appointment is very important.
Here are some of the reasons that you might see green tan color.
Arm Pits will turn green due to deodorant, antiperspirant and profuse sweating
Feet are green, which may be from sweaty footwear put on after spray tanning,
The back or chest areas can discolor in tone of green due to conditioner, perfumes, exfoliating products, lotions and sweat.
Legs can be discolored from depilatory creams or any moisturizing shaving products
These various body care and skin care products residues can react with the spray-tanning solution and can temporarily look greenish or grayish. Normally the green discoloration disappears after showering, and cleansing skin well.
Any product residues left on the skin surface can also alter how well the solution reacts to the most upper layer of the skin to create maximum tan color and even effect the way the tan fades on some clients.
How to prevent this from happening?
Ask your client to fill out a form every time they come in advising what products they used to exfoliate in last 8 hours, list soaps, shampoos, conditioners, moisturizers, medication, deodorant, antiperspirant, lotion, creams including exfoliation products and make up.

It's supposed to be green. That's the sign of a good BRONZE color, not orange. Green = good.
