Default Bad Spray

I sprayed a 70 yr old lady last night. She has skin that is almost like leather. Today she stopped by to show me her tan. Her legs look great but the upper half of her body looks awful. Very blotchy. I am assuming it is because her skin is so dry. Should I have her use lotion before the next spray?

She said she hadnt taken a shower yet...so I told her to go home and take a shower then call and let me know what it looks like. What are the chances it will look ok after the shower?

She really like the looks of the color on her legs. Any advice on what I should try?

Thanks!

Update...she just called back. Apparently she just took a shower this morning (that in itself is scary to me!!!) She said it didnt look much better though. I told her I would respray her (reluctantly!!) but I want her to wait until the old spray comes off...so I can have a fresh start. I told her in the meantime to moisturize every day....maybe that will help. I'm not really sure but I have a feeling it just may not work on her skin.

Alot of it was probably because she waited so long to shower. Overnight at the most. 6-8 hours at least.

I think she knows she is just too saggy and baggy! LOL Even though she is not too pretty to look at...she is really nice and is a good sport about being old and ugly. LOL I really dread going through that again....I think I might raise my prices for people over 70!!

Oh and to top the whole thing off...she wanted to be sprayed nude!! I said no way to completely nude. I did let her go topless and she was kind enough to lift for me!

I have a lady coming in today that always bends over when I spray the back of her leg so she doesn't get the smile lines. She stays bent over because she wants it to dry before she stands straight up again. It's quite annoying to have her butt in my face.

When I first took the salon over last summer, we were here after business hours working on cleaning the place up and a lady walked in(we had the door unlocked) and wanted to tan....so I explained that we were closed but I would let her tan anyway and while I was putting her in the computer she says...I'm kinda in a hurry and takes her top off while she is standing at the front counter! I couldnt believe it!
