The following is a video guide detailing the full spray tanning process.
Once you or your client has prepared for the spray tan it is now time to get down to the actual spray tanning procedure. We recommend you start of with a basic check-list before you start the process as it will ensure you will not forget any of the important steps. Forgetting a simple step is an easy thing to do and a check-list will act as a safeguard and will ensure your client gets the best spray tan possible.

After the legs have been properly spray tanned you can begin to move onto the stomach, chest and back area. Care should be taken when spray tanning this area as it is not as porous as the rest of the body and there is an increased chance of the spray tan solution running:
