CONTEST PREPARTATION 101
STEP 1, 2 & 3
: Use a Tanning Accelerator lotion before sun beds or natural tanning. Tanning accelerators harmlessly speed up the body's natural tanning process. A good accelerator contains L-Tyrosine, a silk amino acid that stimulates the production of Melanin, resulting in a faster, darker tan. (Apply before tanning. Apply a moisturizer at night after showering. Frequent misting over the entire body is recommended for best results.

Step 4:
Skin stains, which are specifically formulated for the bodybuilder who needs a quick, rich, dark tan, need no sun at all. There are many products on the market, but very few that produces a natural looking tan and are good for your skin. PROTAN, the most popular of the bodybuilding stains, leaves the skin with a brown suntanned look, and not the orange color that competitors dread.
Before applying your skin stain, always exfoliate your skin. (This will make a big difference in the quality of the tan.) Exfoliating means removing all of the dirt, dead skin cells, and daily debris that collects in your pores. A skin scrub with moisturizers should be used during the shower, before the initial application. This will develop a perfectly smooth skin surface, which will in turn allow complete adhesion and even coverage of the stain, and eliminate unsightly and blotchy "wear-off". (It will also leave your skin looking healthier and feeling sleek.)

Now that your skin is healthy and smooth, you may apply your Instant Competition Color.

-----------------Fair Skin-------Medium Skin-------Dark Skin
Days Before: -----3-4 --------------2-3----------------1-2
Applications: -----6-10------------- 6-8----------------4-8

Note: Each application should take about 30 minutes. Apply in the morning or evening after showering over entire body using a sponge applicator.
Be sure to apply a very light coat over dry skin areas such as: ankles, knees, elbows, and wrists (these joint areas tend to get a little darker than
the rest of the body. Note: Before applying put a moisturizing lotion over these areas to avoid saturation.) Allow at least a half-hour before direct contact with clothes and water (air dry if possible). You will notice an instant tan; however, the true color darkens over an eight-hour period and may be deepened by repeated applications. (PRO TAN will wash out of sheets, etc., but don't forget to shower before wearing good clothes.)

A Little Tanning Trick:
You may notice a dryness of your skin as a result of the chemicals in most stains, so it is important to always moisturize following the staining. PRO TANâ Sunny Day Sunless Tanning Lotion and Moisturizer are specifically designed to maintain your skin's moisture balance while darkening your tan. It contains the same harmless active ingredient as the skin stain, so be sure to wash your hands immediately after use to avoid brown palms. By using the moisturizer during all methods of tanning (i.e. natural tanning, sun beds, or skin stains), you will be able to keep your skin soft, supple, and tan.

No Time To Tan:
For those who don't wish to use self-tanning products or have no time to tan, there is always good 'ol Bronzer. Apply bronzer evenly over the entire body with damp hands quickly and evenly for an instant golden bronze look that dries in minutes. Bronzers work excellently over skin stains and sunless tanning lotions to create a deeper, darker tanned appearance.

Fact:
White reflects, black absorbs. The darker your skin color, the better chance you have of emphasizing your true
muscularity without suffering from the "definition wash-out" that can be caused by the powerful stage lights.
You will look and feel healthier and more energetic. Don't be the one who gets washed-out under the lights!
