What factors can contribute to an uneven tan?

An uneven tan can often result from improper application techniques and failure to adhere to pre-tanning instructions. When individuals do not follow the recommended guidelines, such as exfoliating skin, moisturizing dry areas, or applying the tanning product evenly, it can lead to patchiness and streaks.

For instance, areas with dry skin may absorb more tan, becoming darker, while oiler areas may not take the tan evenly. Additionally, if the application is rushed or not done evenly, it can also lead to inconsistencies in the tan's color. Therefore, following proper preparation and application steps is crucial in achieving a uniform, natural-looking tan.
