Caitlin's Guide to DIY Competition Tan (eBook)

Learn to do your own competition tan, save money and get the perfect stage-day colour.

After years of competing, I got a little tired of spending hundreds of dollars on professional competition tanning - and sometimes the professional tan wasn't even dark enough.

I decided it was time to figure out how to do it myself. I've developed my own approach to building colour with Pro Tan products, getting the depth I want and finishing everything off with the perfect stage-day glaze. It's now my preferred way to tan for competitions, including international shows where organising professional tanning services can be difficult, expensive or simply inconvenient.

I've put together this affordable guide to share exactly how I do it, which will save you hundreds of dollars in tanning expenses.

I include my specific product formulas and mixing ratios for different products, application process, tips, and a few of my own little tricks for getting the finish I'm after.

What's inside?

• My three-day competition tanning schedule
• My Pro Tan product combinations, formulas and mixing ratios.
• Step-by-step application instructions
• How I build colour and achieve the depth needed for stage lighting
• My trick for enhancing muscle definition
• Show-day top coat, touch-ups and final glaze application
• My tips for getting an even finish and avoiding common tanning mistakes
• Troubleshooting for those inevitable little show-day mishaps
• A handy show-day tanning kit checklist

Why learn to do your own tan?

Professional competition tanning can cost hundreds of dollars every show. Learning to do it yourself can save you a significant amount of money, particularly if you compete regularly.

It also means:

• No awkward or time consuming tanning appointments
• The convenience of doing everything in your own home, on your own time
• More control over your colour, coverage and final finish

Who is this guide for?

Whether you're preparing for your first competition or have been competing for years, this guide is for anyone interested in learning how to apply their own competition tan.

You don't need previous self-tanning experience. I certainly didn't have much when I first started!

Happy tanning!
