I’m a big fan - once you get a professional spray tan, you’ll never buy self tanner again…such a huge hassle for poor results. I go to a place dedicated to tanning only (Exotic Tans for New Englanders), with individual “spray booths” that are automated and private. My place has a choice of light, medium, dark, and with or without instant color. I’m fair skinned, and usually opt for medium, without the instant color, so the color gradually deepens over several hours. A recorded voice tells you what to do - turn, raise arm, etc…only takes about two minutes in the booth.

I go in the morning, then shower before bed. It is important to exfoliate with a body scrub beforehand, paying attention to heels, knees, elbows, then apply a thick layer of body lotion (my place has a big pump dispenser right in the room). Use the lotion to apply a barrier between toes and fingers, around ankles, and on heels. Wear minimal clothing (nothing is best). The entire process - from getting out of my car to getting back into my car is less than 15 minutes.

It does not streak, sweat off, smell, or stain clothes. It looks incredibly natural, perfectly even and uniform, no odor, gradually fades - lasts about a week.
