*Bunny* said:Hey BeautifulJens, question about your protan... You had hubby spray you in lieu of being painted right? Have you done both? With one do you prefer? Benefits? Downfalls?
I used Protan.....he painted it on me with a foam brush dipped in an old plastic container while I stood on a drop cloth.....I got the spray tan done once just to experience it and felt it was fine, but messy....ie you have to get dressed while it's still wet & drive home....plus it wouldn't be dark enough.....
I used 6 coats of Protan along with 3 months of laying in the tanning booth & had no complaints on my color.....started the process Wed nite, rinse off Thurs morn., coat 2 Thurs morn, rinse Thurs nite, coat 3 Thurs nite, etc etc.....
Thank you so much for sharingjenscats5 said:
My problem is, I literally have to shave everyday to keep my legs smooth .. Maybe MAYBE every other day if I'm lucky. When did you stop showering... after thursday mornings rinse?
When did you stop shaving?
I am considering waxing ... eek.

I didn't care for waxing personally - didn't do anything for me better than a razor.....I did a full body shave on Wed. afternoon with a new razor & just touched up if I had to.....didn't really affect the Protan....
No, I rinsed Thurs morning, Thurs nite, Fri morning & Fri nite, but didn't use soap.....the Fri nite coats + the Sat morning coat I didn't shower afterwards.....then applied bronzer @ the venue....
Oh and you need to stop using all lotions about 1 week or so before hand to let your skin dry out....
If you are thinking about waxing, I would give it a "test wax" SOON ..... then you know what to expect at comp time.
What I have experienced with the waxing I have done (bikini, eyebrows), is that I get "puffy" around the waxing area for about 12 hours. You wouldn't want that at comp time!

I pretty much shave everything every day -- and if you go that route at least start doign it a few weeks before because you don't want to have to deal w/ ingrown hairs. The protan -- would suggest pouring the bottle out into a plastic container, get a good cosmetic sponge, dip it in & start putting it on. Exfoliate really good right before the first layer, no oils, etc. The first layer mostly just needs to be thick - try to catch the drips and all that but its more important to just get a good layer on. Let it dry over nite, shower in the morning. Next 4-5 layers same thing - you are probably ok to shave - mostly just dont' press hard so you make the last layer start to crack etc. The first couple layers should be thick, good coverage. The first couple layers I'd stand in front of a fan and make sure it dries completely. Then you can sleep in long sleeves/legs, probably put down a dark sheet - expect the stuff to get all over everything. You might want to put up a cheap shower curtain too if you have a nice one in your shower.
Also for the shaving part, well this is a little gross, but you can have alittle hair growth, and although you yourself will see it and it feels gross (cause you are used to shaving it everyday, like myself, my hair grows very quickly) nobody in the audience is going to see alittle hair growth.
I'm so not down with the waxing, by the time my skin returns to normal, my hair has started to grow backjust not worth it for me.

Yep, exactly what 24k said - you're onstage about 6 feet away & a few feet above the judges - they won't see a bit of stubble and the bronzer should smooth out any issues with the Protan too, but I didn't have a problem....
One thing with the Protan - it makes you COLD!! I was shivering as it was applied.....and it WILL soak thru your sheets & into your mattress - so you need something in between the sheet & mattress pad.....and a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser will get *most* of it off the toilet seat.....

Ooooh! I just started a thread about this in the girl talk forum. Check this out: Cleancut Shaver
I bought one and it works SO DAMN GOOD!!! As close as shaving with a razor but without any razor burn. Use baby powder and shave dry. I'm tellin' ya - It's the best invention EVER.
I'm going to give them as Christmas gifts this year.
