Need input for contest tanning

Hi girls!

I'm getting ready for a fitness figure competition that is in 3 weeks. However my usual provider for tanning products has gone out of business and all I could get is 1 bottle of protan.

In past competitions when I paint with Protan there are parts such as knees, elbows, armpits, wrist and feet that get uneven and too dark than the rest of the body. I used to buy the Jan Tana stuff (scrub, moisturizer) and Bikini Bite ... but I can't get them here (Mexico) and not feasible to buy them online because they take too much for delivery (customs).

So... are there other alternatives for getting a perfect contest tan with what I already have?? what can I use for face? are there other products similar to bikini bite?

Thanks for your comments
 
Make sure you exfoliate really well every single day for the next two week apply any drug store brand of self tanner / moisturizer you can find. For a week before and do not apply any moisturizer. The dryer you skin is the more the protan will set in to your skin. Do NOT apply protan to your face at all it looks terrible. If you go through the bottle of protan and you feel your not dark enough if you can find Neutrogena MicroMist Tanning Sunless Spray in dark use that. For your face I like MAC NW45 full coverage. I know of several woman that use Dream Matte Mousse Foundation I believe Carmel is the darkest shade it is available in also TruBlend Minerals Bronzer Golden Sunrise should be good to set your face with.
 
I have had to tan with one bottle of protan before. It is a bit nerve wracking, but it is possible to get a dark enough tan.

Moisturise your elbows, knees and other bits that get too dark with vaseline. Try not to go over these area until the end.

DON'T wash/shower or bath after you start putting it on.

For face, I find that St.Tropez works really well, I use it almost like a foundation.

On the morning of the comp, I have tied all my hair back and just given my face one spritz with protan.
 
Has anyone ever tried a product called "DreamTan"... at least I believe that was what it was called. I found this stuff gave a better, darker tan without looking fake orangey... Also had a bit of shimmer to it. Problem was that if you have a light colored suit it WILL stain.

Here judges don't like it as it tends to have to much of sheen and also normally gives a smoothed over look as the stage lights are reflecting on it to much you can't see defintion and conditioning.

I have seen the dream tan in a pot totally hide the definition on some people.

And if you sweat, it is disgusting streaky city.

Dream tan spray like protan is a much nicer colour.

I do think that Jantana fast tan is the best colour I have found so far.
 
What you use depends on what organization you compete in and where in the country you compete. In the northeast (NPC)you will see all the women in Dream Tan #2. Its different in other parts of the country though

Jan Tana's new competition product is gaining popularity in my area.

Hi girls!

As promised, here are my pics of last Saturday's competition. I feel quite happy because competition was tough and there were many girls in my category, which is Fitness Figure - Novice at national level. I placed 3rd!

Thanks for all the tips and advice on tanning!

By the way... in the pics I'm number 199.

Congratulations, you looked beautiful! You were also the best poised!
 
Hey Nikkita!
you look great!! i'd like to get to where your at right now, bodywise. and CONGRATS hon..awesome job!!!!:D


BTW..you look alot like my friend Maria.:heart:
 
You looked GREAT!... and to place so highly with so many competitors is also tremendous.

Your physique looks very feminine. Nice tiny waste, good lower and upper body development. Your upper body seemed a tad bit unbalanced with your lower though from what I saw your legs had better development. It would seem that you would benefit from a *tad* more on the top to match the bottom. You have a good skeletal structure so I think that you would do well competitively and your posing was awesome... :)

You had the red bikini for evening?

GREAT CHOICE.

Excellent effort on your part, you should be very proud!
 
Awesome!

Great pics, you look gorgeous.l

Very modest of you to slip them into this thread as well.

I would love to see your training and comp prep journal.

:)

BikiniMom, I highly appreciate your comments, I will give an emphasis and work more upper body. The red bikini was for the last round and awards.

What tanning product did you wind up using?
What were your thoughts on it?

Thanks!

As I had the little bottle of protan, I did a sunless tanning from sublime bronze, it gave me a good base... similar to first coats of protan and with that base I applied a coat of protan for two days before the show. The day of the show I applied protan in the morning... squeezing the bottle to the maximum.

Just before stage I applied Pam.
