First pic is pre-rinse, second pic is post-rinse.

This is my second time getting a spray tan. The first technician seemed really knowledgeable and the second one seemed like she was new. My first spray tan was amazing, no notes.

This second time, I noticed the technician didn't get parts of my bikini line or under my butt, which doesn't really bother me since those areas won't be on display at the moment. The part that is bothering me is my back vs front and the underarm vs arm area.

There looks like there is a straight line between my back and my torso, which did not happen last time. Also, my underarm and shoulder seem to be darker than my arm.

I exfoliated, hydrated, lotioned, took a cab back home to not sweat. I also reached out to the location and they told me it told rinse out, which it obviously hasn't.

Is this on me or the technician?

I got my rosacea diagnosed officially about 2 weeks ago. My derm put me on metronidazole 0.75% and doxy 40mg 1x/day and so far I've seen an incredible improvement in redness and pustules. I really should have gone years ago lol

Rant: I've also been paying more attention to my triggers. I add spice to every meal (including breakfast) so that has been a major life change and I miss it pretty badly. I also cut out tomatoes, dairy, alcohol, and citrus. Unable to give up coffee just yet, hopefully that doesn't bite me in the ass. I'm also anxious to eat or drink something I enjoy and have to eliminate that from my diet as well.

I'm coming to terms with the fact that if I want clear skin, I can't eat things that I once loved and it's a bit of a grieving process.

Product suggestion help: I've been wearing a bonnet to bed because I noticed my skin was a lot better in the morning if I wore one. If anyone has hairspray and/or leave-in conditioner recommendations that don't have fragrance or alcohol please let me know <3

Is this my fault?
