How to Avoid Streaks with Self Tanning Spray

Nothing ruins a sunless tan faster than streaks and patchy spots. If you’ve struggled with uneven color from Self Tanning Spray, you’re not alone. The good news? With the right technique—and the right product—you can achieve a flawless, streak-free glow every time.

At Wilson, we’ve formulated our Self Tanning Spray to deliver smooth, even coverage. But even the best tanner can streak if applied incorrectly. Here’s how to avoid common mistakes and get salon-worthy results at home.

Why Does Self Tanning Spray Streak?

Streaks happen when the product isn’t blended properly or when skin isn’t prepped correctly. Common causes include:

• Uneven application (spraying too close or too far)

• Dry or flaky skin (causing patchy absorption)

• Rubbing or sweating too soon (before the tan sets)

Wilson’s Self Tanning Spray minimizes streaking with its lightweight, fast-drying formula—but prep and technique still matter.

How to Apply Self Tanning Spray Without Streaks

Step 1: Prep Your Skin

✔ Exfoliate – Use a gentle scrub 24 hours before to remove dead skin.
✔ Shave or wax – Do this at least 12 hours prior to avoid irritation.
✔ Skip heavy moisturizers – They can create a barrier, causing uneven color.

Step 2: Use the Right Technique

✔ Hold the bottle 6-8 inches away – Prevents blotchiness.
✔ Spray in sweeping motions – Cover all areas evenly.
✔ Blend immediately with a mitt – Ensures seamless absorption.

Step 3: Let It Dry Properly

✔ Wait 10 minutes before dressing – Avoids smudging.
✔ Don’t sweat or shower for 6-8 hours – Lets the tan fully develop.
