Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to tan naked?

For Women

To achieve the most even and flawless tan without visible lines, tanning nude is recommended. However, if you’re uncomfortable with this, you can wear underwear during the tanning session. Please note that wearing underwear may result in visible tan lines.

For Men

Depending on your federation’s requirements, you can typically tan while wearing underwear that is smaller than your stage trunks or shorts to minimize tan lines.

How do I prepare for a competition tan?

Skin Preparation is Essential

Following the provided skin preparation instructions is crucial for achieving a flawless tan.

Your Responsibility

The condition of your skin on tanning day is entirely in your hands. If the preparation steps are not followed carefully, it can lead to issues with your tan.

Common Problems Due to Improper Prep

Dark Blotches: Uneven application caused by poorly prepped skin.
Tan Turning Green: This can happen if the skin is not clean or properly balanced.
Marks on the Tan: Resulting from inadequate exfoliation or residue left on the skin

How Long Will Your Tan Last After the Show?

Your competition tan can last several days after the event, but keep in mind that it may not fade evenly.

Tips for Managing Your Tan After the Show:

Moisturize: Use a moisturizer that is free from alcohol and mineral oil to keep your skin hydrated and prevent patchiness.
Exfoliate: When the tan begins to fade, gently exfoliate to promote an even fade.
Hydrate: Continue to moisturize daily to maintain smooth, healthy-looking skin.

Proper aftercare will help your tan fade gracefully while keeping your skin in great condition!

How Many Tans Are Needed Before a Competition?

The number of tans required isn’t fixed. Some people assume they need as many as five coats before a show, but that’s not always the case. Each tanning product company follows its own unique process to achieve optimal results.

Will my spray tan transfer onto my clothes or sheets while I sleep?

Yes, your tan may transfer onto clothing, sheets, towels, and other surfaces. After your tan is applied, it's recommended to wear loose, dark clothing. If you're staying at a hotel, it's a good idea to bring your own sheets and towels to avoid additional cleaning fees. The tan typically washes out of clothing without leaving stains.

I have sensitive skin. Could I have an allergic reaction?

There is no specific reason why you wouldn't need to, but you will be required to complete our booking form with necessary questions before your tanning session.

Tanning Tips

Skin preparation advice

To ensure your tan looks flawless, follow these tips in the week leading up to your show:

1. Exfoliate Regularly

Begin exfoliating your skin at least one week before your competition to refine its texture.
Don’t forget hard-to-reach areas like your back—use exfoliating gloves and a pH-balanced scrub (e.g., Cocoa Brown Tough Stuff).

2. Moisturize Daily

After exfoliating, thoroughly moisturize your skin every day. This helps keep it hydrated and ensures a smooth, even tan.

3. Hair Removal

For waxing or hair removal creams, complete this at least one week before your competition to allow your skin time to recover.
Any regrowth can be shaved the day before your tanning session.
If you’ve never used waxing or hair removal creams before, do not try them for the first time right before your show—always perform a patch test beforehand.

4. Shaving

Complete any shaving at least a day before your tan to avoid irritation.

5. Nail Care

Both men and women should apply clear nail varnish to fingernails and toenails. This prevents the tan from staining your nails. (Don’t worry—tan won’t stain nail polish!)

By following these steps, your skin will be perfectly prepped to achieve a stunning, even tan on competition day!

Tanning Day Guidelines

To achieve the best results on your tanning day, follow these instructions:

Before Your Tan

Shower: Use only water and an oil-free shower gel (e.g., Sanex 0%) and gently exfoliate with exfoliating gloves.
No Products: Avoid moisturizing, using deodorant, applying perfume, or putting any products on your skin before your tanning session.

What to Wear

Clothing: Bring loose, dark, lightweight clothing. Avoid red clothing, as it can react with the tan and turn it green.
Recommended Attire: Opt for drawstring bottoms without elastic waistbands and clothes a few sizes larger for comfort.
Footwear: Wear flip-flops to prevent smudging the tan.

Additional Prep

Remove Accessories: Take off all jewelry and remove contact lenses before the tanning session.
No Rinsing: Do not shower or rinse off the tan until after the competition.

During Tanning

Minimize Tan Lines: Wear as little as possible during the session to avoid lines:
- Females: Tanning nude is recommended for an even application.
- Males: We provide a sock for coverage.

By following these guidelines, you'll be competition-ready with a flawless tan!

Tanning Aftercare

To maintain your tan and ensure it looks its best, follow these aftercare instructions:

Things to Avoid

Exercise & Sweating: Avoid activities that cause perspiration.
Water Contact: Do not get your tanned skin wet—no showers until after the competition.
Products: Do not use oils, deodorants, or any other products on your tan.

Clothing & Footwear

Wear Loose, Dark Clothing: Keep wearing loose, dark clothing, even while sleeping.
Protect Your Hands: Put socks over your hands while sleeping to prevent handprints.
Footwear: Only wear flip-flops until it’s time to take the stage.

Longer-Term Care

Tan Longevity: Expect your tan to last several days after the competition as it gradually fades.
Moisturize Regularly: Hydrate your skin to keep your tan looking smooth and even.
Gentle Exfoliation: After a few days, gently exfoliate to promote even fading. When ready to remove the tan, use Cocoa Brown Tough Stuff for best results.

By following these steps, you’ll keep your tan looking fantastic both on stage and after the competition!
