Spray tan..need help!!

So I went and got my spray tan at Beach Bum last night, my shower is tomorrow.
I didnt specify to the lady that I wanted 'just a glow', so since I already had a little bit of tan, she took it upon herself to make me a little darker cause she said.,'i could carry it', however, she told me to go lighter for the wedding in Sept.
Anyway....my elbows and feet look like crap this morning..all splotchty....the palms of my hands are all splotchy and on my face...the color seems to have settled in my pours on my face, so that I have little brown dots on my face if you look closely..something that will show up in pics.
What do I do to correct this for tomorrow?????

I dont know what to do for the wedding now...should I risk it and do it again but lighter?I would have to go for another trial....I am pissed that this didnt go smoothly!

Did you shower yet? I always look like an ooompa looompa before i shower.

I go to a place in Soho that is amazing if you want to try them out for the wedding.

Yes, i showered and after that is when I noticed all my splotichess. I really think she made me too dark...not all her fault...I should have been specific that I wanted 'just a glow'...

Obviously, I should have done a better job on the exfoliating before...

I use self tanner myself. I mix it with lotion..this way I can control it. When it comes to feet /elbows, etc...I take a paper towel and swipe over the area after. I use a tinted one to say. I hate the spray tans..they look fake..well on me...even though I am olive tones. I used lotion night before wedding btw...

That happened to me for the wedding. Even after I showered it was still there. I called beach bum and they gave me cream but they also told me to scrub with windex!! No joke it worked! Keep showering and use an exfoliant to help get it off. FM if you need any more help.
