The Perfect Tan

[shane]

Just wondering how to get the tan right for a comp do you keep up the sun bed or get a spray on tan to get a good base some advice would be great please. :pray:

Everyone does it differently, ive tried many ways and what works best for me is sunbedding initially just 1 per week then uping it to 2 per week a few weeks out from comp, I have a number 3 spray tan (dark) then light coat of dreamtan at the show.

Some people use the pro-tan base then dreamtan, its just experimenting to see what you like the best.

Ok just wondering if I should get a spray tan now and another next week comp is 9th October be my first

I would say get your spray tan the night before (can't shower) then either dream tan or Kabakof over the top on comp day. Having used Kabakof for the first time on Saturday I would highly recommend it. However it seemed those of us with really dark spray tans and then a light coat of Kabakof came up best on stage. During the night show I put on a thicker coat and came up a bit to orange so stay with a light coat.

I spray tan competitors with 3-5 coats of PK tan (depending on skin tone) - starting either 2 days pre-comp or all on 1 day prior. Then have them add shimmer coat on comp day.

The darker your base tan, the less top coating you'll need on show day.

I wouldnt bother with sunbeds; they're bloody bad for you and cant even compare to the depth of tan a good spray will give you.

Of course good skin preparation is vital to have the tan look its best!
