i look great for the first 2 days, but then the following 2 weeks i come out in horrific patches everywhere!
its driving me mad, i have been a fake tan user for years, and always had minor problems with patching etc.
but i started getting professional spray tans because they last longer, and give a better colour, but the patchiness is just ridiculous.
i exfoilate twice a week with an organic product i also moisturise every single day.
i cannot see what else i could possible do to stop this problem occurring?
any tips?

How about trying a different method and see how you get on? For example, try a lotion based light tan shade, squeeze some on your palms, dilute with water to make it more liquid and spreadable and apply.

That should ensure that it's relatively natural looking and gives a nice glow and you don't have the Tony Blair tangerine look!

Er? Why not stop applying them then? Leave your skin tone the colour it should be? Or am I being too radical here?

I used to self tan but i stopped due to the maintenance and pretty much what you have said, after a while it just gets patchy and to be honest i couldn't be bothered applying it every week. I used to be a sun bed addict aswell but that's all stopped now due to obvious reasons. Have you asked the professional spray tanner who does this for you? What aftercare do they give? I remember when i used to self tan i was told to avoid products that contained citrus as this will strip the tan so i'm not sure if any of the exfoliaters or moisturisers you use contain this.
