When talking about “Why does a tan turn patchy and how can you avoid it”, I would look not only at the appointment itself but also at everything around it. Skin prep, realistic shade expectations, a clear consultation, and gentle care during the first day affect the outcome almost as much as the application step. That is why this topic is useful not only for beginners but also for people who want more predictable results the next time.
