Stick with pro-tan only. It looks the best and if you have shoots scheduled post contest, you are able to maintain it quite easily for several days. Probably varies according to skin but, I haven't had much luck with the "quick" bronzers, I even turned semi-green once. Apply as per PUMPED's suggestion starting on Wed morning.

I agree!

Vander,
Use nothing other than pro-tan! get a good base tan from the taning beds and you can also apply the clinique self tanner the week leading up as this will help establish your baseline color. I have used every product out there and will not use or let my athletes use any of the bronzers! Listen to Sam the protan is the only way to go also pumped hit the nail on the head with application and timing althoe on Saturday morning you might have a few areas you might need to touch up with the protan. if you can get 4-5 good coats of protan on it will make all the difference in the world and under no circumstances should you ever use anything other than protan period! wyldeone

I agree protan only. brush a coat on a section of your body and then dry it with a hair dryer. Do another section and quick dry it with a hair dryer. when you finish your whole body and its dry, jump in the shower for about 10 seconds and rise off. air dry and do it again and again and again. You will need steel wool to get the shit off after a show, but you wont have any streaking and it looks very natural.

Hey bro, maybe check with dpsquat and ask what he did, I think he even explained it in a post way back when.. Look at his pic in the banner! Holy shit, his bronze and shade are amazing IMO.

 

[TooPowerful4u]

Man iv had such a problem with this shit, im starting to believe my body just doesnt wanna let the self tanner work. Maybe somebody could outline a complex outline on how exactly this should be done step by step. Im fawkin Italian and i still didnt get dark enough. Most poeple suggest you lightly rinse after every coat to keep it all even, but when i did that it just lightened up again.

 

[joshbarnett]

vander talk to...

follow what mental1 did. his color was good a NA's

 

[hardkor]

To shower or not to shower?

Do you guys shower after each coat of Protan?

 

[brachialis]

Same here....

Vander.... I have the same issue. Dream tan is banned from my show as well.

I'm doing 3-4 coats starting Monday with coat #1, then Wed, Thurs, Friday.. Usint Pro-Tan.

 

[gooey]

protan

one shower otherwise ul keep rinsing off yur coats. Shower aft first coat then apply 3-5 coats the darker the better, pending on the strength of the lights on stage. This is why I believe black people look so much harder when they may not be cause of the shadows they produce.

dream tan

why would it be banned?

 

[Snarf]

why would it be banned?

I don't compete, so I am curious too why this would be banned.

 

[Vander_V]

PROTAN IT IS

i guess ill use the bronzer for my photo shoots , Dream tan was banned cause it runs and makes a fucking mess , at the theatre in PhX its very nice so we would fuck all there shit up .

 

[Armageddon]

Don't know a whole lot about it, but was at the Arnold Classic last year with a buddy who competes. We went by the pro tan both and the "owner", "designer" or who ever he was had some good ideas about how it should be used. But he said at the end of each day for the first 2-3 days of application that you should shower and try and let yourself air dry. They also had some kind of scrub to exfoliate the skin before application of tanner so it stayed or comes out better. Like I said, I've never used it, just listened to what the guy at the both had to say.
