Spray tan

This is kind of embarrassing but I'm 62 and I've never had a spray tan before.
Are the booths automatic or do I have to be sprayed by a 16 year old who will snigger at my ancient body? I don't know what to expect!!!

You can get ones that are automatic but they produce a pretty crap finish.

Most spray tans are done by a human. No one will laugh they have seen everything including my own 50 year old 15stone body. I get spray tans regularly. Remember most spray tanners do Brazilian waxes!

You get paper pants and you can choose to wear a bikini top if you want 'cool' lines but I don't bother with either.

You will be left to undress alone and will get into a tent type thing. The tanner will come in and she will direct you. Usually you start with the stance you adopt in airport security (arms aloft). Turn around. Then each side and arms.
It takes about 5 minutes. They then leave you to dry off for 5 minutes usually with a drying machine, fan or hairdryer.
Bring loose black clothes to go home in. No bra or pants. Wash off a few hours later.
