    tanning your face

    I was wondering what to do for tanning my face for my competion. I was told not to use pro tan becasue it would steak if i sweat, so would going to a tanning salon and getting air brushed tan be a good alt, or should I just stick with the pro tan for my face.

    Thanks pain time

    i personally don't tan my face...not on purpose at least lol.

    I find out of the various products that i've used.. Jan Tana competition tan doesn't streak.

    My tip would be to get some one to apply it for you.. a small amount at a time.. covering a small area at a time.

    This application should be done in an air-conditioned room to prevent you sweating prior to the solution bonding to your skin.

    Sweating after it bonds is no prob.. it won't streak...

    Bro, it doesnt matter how dark you are you still have to use pro-tan..... let me tell you what a black guy without pro-tan look like on stage... they look gray or ashie... remember those lights are very bright. i've seen it and know the reason why that guy looked so odd, lol i wish I had a picture to show you guys.

    i use stuff called dyoderm the morning befroe the show all over , aply with a sponge paint brush, and then in the face,, use toilet paper and apply it to the face,, jsut dont shower that night and use old sheets cuz it will come off some , it dries in about 10 mins but will still come off a bit and it gets darker as the day goes on jsut make sure you have a base tan or you will turn out puke green then at the show apply dream tan,,
