my wife is doing a show in 1 month. What is the best sunless tanning product to use for the show. She wants one that can be applied the same day as the show. thanks

I've heard ban de soleil, neutragena and banana boat are all good, but I haven't tried any of them yet, so, sorry, can't help. BUT, there was a thread about this a few weeks or so ago with some good suggestions. Do a search, you're sure to find it.

i personally use Banana boat w/ color indicator -it has a bronzer so that you see where you are applying, make less mistakes and you also can see color right away. I don't compete, but have heard that Protan makes a great one, comes with an applicater brush and all.. i believe thats what most people use who compete.

I don't know if you will get sufficient depth of tan w/ one of the commercial, non-bb tanning products in one day. I used ProTan for both of my shows, however I did 3 layers of it, starting 3 days prior (spray on, let dry, sleep in long sleeves & pants, wake up, take a shower, repeat that night and the following night).

One guy did some base tan development via tanning bed, but put on Dream Tan the morning of the show -- he looked like a shiny orange guy in the morning show, but took a shower between AM & PM show and looked great for the PM show. This leads me to believe that leaving Dream Tan on for something like 4-5 hours and then showering it off will leave a nice tan in 1 day. I would have to test it once for myself.

The thing w/ Dream Tan when you first put it on is that you can't smear it after its on because it will smudge & possibly smear off on your posing suit. Try the thing about leaving it on for a couple hours & then showering it off - it may soak in enough in those hours to survive a shower and not be smeary.
