Dream Tan question

[joe bigboy]

i've always used protan or jan tana in the past and want to try dream tan#2 this time. my ? is this, i see that it comes in 2oz. bottles and i was wondering if one bottle of it is enough to get one coat all over your body?
thanks...

I am thinking you are talking about the "cream" type Dream Tan.

I would get 2....just to be safe. That is what my hubby does.

I found this tanning article. I forgot who wrote it though. Dont know if it helps with future things you may want to try in usng both pro and dream tan..


Skin Conditioning For Contest Prep:

Start tanning using a bronzer beginning 8 weeks out.
Exfoliate skin once a week with a skin scrub and a loofah.
Use a hair remover product once a week. Nair, etc.
Shave using a cream or gel once a week.

Note: Be aware of your skin type as some hair removal products can leave you irritated and with rash. I usually perform products designed for sensitive skin with baby oil. Also I have found when you use a hair removal product it does not always remove all the hair so instead of reapplying and chancing a skin rash I opt to shave again with a shaving gel or cream for sensitive skin and trust me you will not be disappointed.
For the last week before show: Assuming Saturday prejudging:
Sunday:
Use hair removing product all over body. Try to avoid nipples and genitals. In the evening exfoliate skin but do not shave.

Thursday:
In AM use hair removing product again. Wash off. Let skin sensitivity fade through the day. In PM exfoliate skin thoroughly and then wash. Then begin to shave entire body with shaving gel or cream for sensitive skin. This will leave skin smooth and completely hairless.
Let your pores dry for about an hour. Then apply 1st coat of Pro-tan to body. Let dry overnight.
Friday:
In the AM wash off 1st coat by just rinsing. Let skin dry and apply 2nd coat of Pro-Tan. Let dry throughout the day. In evening rinse off once more. Let skin dry and apply 3rd coat to body. Let dry overnight.
Saturday:
In AM 3hours before prejudging, apply 4th coat to body. This is more of a touch up for spots that are lighter than others. When you are at the show, apply a light coat of Dream Tan to body and face. (Fitness and Figure competitors can eliminate face because of the stage make up you will have on. My suggestion is to use a face bronzer from MAC make-up; it is expensive but works the best.) The glitter in the product makes your tan explode. Apply a mist of posing oil to body for a nice sheen. You do not want to be shinny. The gleam blurs your definition.
Always carry small hand towels in bag. These are for things like sweat, washing hands and body. When prejudging is over, take a hand towel and wet it thoroughly. Begin to wipe your body and face down to remove oil and Dream Tan off body. Your pores will be open again so you will not have that sticky, smelly, a weird looking skin when you leave the event and go eat.
As a quick note: Where a dark colored sweat suit to and from the event. All tanning product will leave residue. Not to mention a dark colored sweat suit will let you look professional and clean. When the show is over shower off all the spray tan using again scrub brush or loofah. You will notice a huge difference in the amount that washes off. Also over the course of the following week continue wearing dark colors just for excess residue and you will not ruin white and pastel colored clothes.
Good luck to you all next year and hope your off- seasons bring quality mass and muscle gains.

you from AZ?? I know some guys still use it, It isnt that much different from that jan tana paint on crap so I dont know what the difference is.

they actually banned it here in tx cuz it was screwing up all the contest hotel's sheets. we use it anyway, and no one i know has been DQ'd because of it. i compete as a heavyweight and one tub usually is fine. DO NOT use pam backstage with it tho. it will fudge out all your lines and you'll be too slippery to hit some of your poses.

yea im from az, the jan tana for me got me super dark but looking like it was a flat color ever if I ussed oil on top of it I looked spotty. the pro tan is great but not enuff for a super whitey . the dream tan was great once every thing is on there is one dark shiney coat I always loved it.

That Jan Tana sucks...there is always a guy onstage that looks black and not black guy black but the fuckn color black and smuggy...I heard it is best to do some coats of pro tan then morning of apply the dream tan..I used some just for some pictures and i loved it..

I used Dream Tan and don't like it as much as Pro Tan - of course, I have a pretty dark base.

I "look" MUCH darker with the Dream Tan but my photos look like I was barely tan!?!?! I think all the glitter in the Dream Tan gives the camera false colors? My pics didn't even look like the same color I was (meaning they weren't just lighter - they were a different color).

I always use it,, first i take 2 weeks of tanning salon, and 2 times a week i go to the pool or the beach, it give you a darker tan.

Then 5 coats of protan, (i take a shower after the 1st coat and after the 3thr coat to clean the exxes) I put it in a glass and put on the coats with the brosh well weat in pro tan. I spray 2 more coats with the bottle without the brush, for a totalo of 7 coats

In the morming of the show at 5.30 am i put on a good dream tan coat with cooking spray, first i spray myself with the PAM (not too much, but it make it easier) and i start putting the dream tan.

Before warning up, you fix some areas like back and glutes, put on some PAM again with liitle touchs of dream tan, and is ready.
