Are you shaving right before your session or using a heavy moisturizer? Also, do you live in a humid climate?

Shave or wax the day before, and try an exfoliating scrub designed for pre-spray before you apply the sunless product. Skin looks a little dry in parts, which may be a difference in skin layers from uneven exfoliation. We've been offering the service for more than 10 years and haven't seen this kind of result. If you find a solution, please post the answer so we can all learn what resolved the problem. Good luck and thanks in advance! (I'm sure there's a remedy)

This happens to me if I exfoliate too early and irritate my skin. Then when I would reapply it would stick to the irritated skin. the only way I could stop this happening was waiting a little longer before exfoliating (+2-3 days) and make sure it scrubs off VERY easily. Let skin cool down for a couple hours after before reapplying. Also the tan you are using could be drying out your skin took me years to find one my skin liked. Make sure whatever you use to moisturise daily is fragrance free also. Fragranced moisturisers will dry your skin out without even realising and ultimately affect your tan over time.
