Question about ProTan.....

[Dr.X]

It's very unlikely that you will get too dark so I'd put on more than less.
I usually do:
Thurs PM - 2 coats Protan
Fri AM - Shower
- 3 coats Protan
PM - 3 more coats Protan
- 1 coat JanTana
Sat AM - 1 coat JanTana

The JanTana has a better color than the Protan but is harder to put on evenly. The combination works well together.

I thought that you cant shower after you apply ProTan. If you shower, do you scrub your body? Seems that if you do the tan will come off.

I'm taking Friday off from work just before the show. You need to have that day all to yourself to make sure everything is prepared, because ya gots lots to do! I plan to shave/nair my body Friday morning. Keep in mind that your body needs to be completely exfoliated before you apply any tanning dyes or else they wont go on smooth. I already picked up an exfoliating scrubber and soap and I plan to start getting rid of the dead skin about 1 week prior.

I dont know about you dog, but when I shave I get nasty little pimples that scab up real quick, so I will mostly use Nair to get rid of my body hair.

No - don't scrub in the shower. Just let the water rinse off the excess (and a lot will come off). I do this just to make sure the base coats are even, otherwise imperfections will be magnified with more coats. You'll also notice all areas do not respond the same - make sure you exfoliate all week prior to painting.

I agree with DrX. You need alot of pro tan to be dark enough. I personally Use Jan Tana show tan 1 coat on thurs. Shower friday morning and apply another coat and dont shower again until afetr the show! Friday night i apply Jan Tana competition tan and another Sat morning before prejudging. It gives you a good color. You could use Pro tan as your base if you want. Beleive me bro I ve seen toooo many people loose close competitions when their color was off or too light. You cannot get too dark bro, the lights will wash you out.
