I recently started spray tanning, and I've been going with the Mystic Tan where you stand in the machine and it sprays you down. I've done it twice, and I like it cause it gets me darker than doing it at home, but I'm having problems with it coming out even. Both times parts of my arms were left much less tan (even though I did the weird hunched over pose), and my front lower shins come out super dark. Darker than anywhere else, and noticeably so. I had to scrub part of it off and fix it with my self tanner at home.
I'm thinking of having the lady do it next time. I guess my question is, for those that have done the machine and had a person do it, was the person superior? I dance nude and want to be tan everywhere, so I was trying to spare the lady from having to like get up in my ass crack and shit, but if it's likely to come out better then I guess she'll just have to suffer through...
I'm also wondering if maybe I'm doing something wrong. There is a sign in the spray tan room with directions, and it says to towel off when you get out. I feel like this would make me more uneven, so I haven't done it. But maybe if I did my shins wouldn't come out so freakishly dark?
ETA: Oh, also, any advice for avoiding shaving off the tan when I shave my legs? Normally I just use water, but would some shave lotion help? I use a moisterizer with DHA to help keep the tan even (and touch it up with my normal stuff if it rubs off somwhere) so it's not that big a deal, but figured I'd ask.

i can do an okay job with an aerosol for my back and mitt for my body, but it doesnt last as long or as dark as the spray tan x
