For some great how tos on tanning before a competition or for a photo shoot, JanTana is the best. One of my friends, and a current fitness model, Brenda Kelly, has a website that goes into detail on preshow tanning techniques. Her web address is BrendaKelly.com. I am sure you will find her information very useful. Good Luck!

If you want a tan that looks natural not like you dyed your skin (especially for photo shoots) go to Mystic Tan. It is the spray on tanner that is not cheap but the best looking. Many tanning salons now offer mystic tan.

SUN laboratories makes a lotion for face and for body that is really nice. The only thing is though, it's a kind where you put it on and it tans you overnight. You wash off all the excess and it leaves you with a really clean, nice color. You can order it online also. Neutrogena is a nice one also, it's great for keeping your skin moisturized.

I hear this is the kind of tan that Celebs use, especially before award shows.

Mystic tan is good but it doesn't get me THAT dark (and if given the option of adding a bronzer DON'T because it tends to streak unevenly!) Also it comes off where my sports bra, etc. rub so I only use the mystic tan as a "top coat" for appearances.

I've been using Jergen's Natural Glow lotion in medium every day lately and it makes my skin really soft, plus it has a little shimmer in it.

From what I've seen the Jan Tana stuff is great color but is a VERY dark stain so it's not really for day-to-day. I know a woman who uses it regularly but she has a tanning bed in her home and is Jamaican-dark year round.

I've seen women get great results from the Neutrogena foam, too.

I like Lancome's self tanner/bronzer for the face. And if you go to the make-up counter you can ask for a sample to try at home:)

I've done Mystic Tan, lotions, everything under the sun (except the sun itself!!) and airbrushing is the only way I roll. I'm in LBC and I go to Kona Tans in Irvine. I'm a fitness model so before shoots they "enhance" my natural definition, and even add a little where I don't have any (lol!)

LOVE THEM!!

does anyone know of a sunless tanning lotion that won't affect jan tana airbrush color? I need color for a shoot the day BEFORE i'm getting sprayed for a show and I can't get airbrushed because the aloe in the solution will make my jan tana show color turn greenish or something.
So... anyone used a bronzer and then been sprayed by jan tana with great results?
And as far as just using a jan tana bronzer myself, what do i use? how fast can i get it? and will i need someone else to apply it/ will i end up streaky if i try and do it myself??

Mystic Tanning is the WORST! It has an orange color and it sprays your knees-Feet 2x, making your feet look extra crazy. I only do airbrush tanning here in San Antonio... www.solebella.com
You can also purchase your own system. They will even use Pro-Tan!

Would Jan Tana Show Tan look 'too much' or unnatural to use if just going out for the night?

I use EnvyTan solutions. They have two competition colors "Deadly" and "Intervention". The Intervention is a dark brown and the Deadly is more of a golden brown. I have also used there self tanners Confidential and Lasting Envy: Spray Tan In A Can, with very good results.

Wax

Waxing will get you the best results but can get expensive. I would try exfoliating the area before and after the shave to keep the pores clear which should help with the ingrown hairs.

Yes, go for something lighter, the lighting at bars will darken you even more making you look fake. Jan Tana is made for stage lights which are so bright they wash people out.

i had been trying a lot sunless tan, since gods know when and i had a lot of terrible experience.
Like
Mystic tan - i think it gives the worst color.
jan tana spray tan - is also too stinky for me. my bf don't even want to come near me.
Famous Daves Tanner - I bought this on eBay with high hopes. I did not like the product. I thought it smelled bad and made me orange, it also streaked, but that is probably bad application technique. I am surprised at the 99.9% positive rating that Famous Dave has on eBay - Definitely not worth the money!

Actually, a lot of my friends are using mystic tan while they search on google and they get nothing by mystic so most of them brought to try but the result was not really great not only it doesn't really gives the look they want and it really makes their skin dry. So my friends and i really sick of the undesirable result we got.

So we were searching up and down for a better one because we really want to look amazing tan. But we were really afraid of the skin cancer, so there's no way we gonna be under that hot sun or the tanning salon. So spending quite a no. of shipping on trial to get free samples. Our group of friends share the shipping fee, we took turn to apply the free trial (hehe, so we saved and of cause we cancel before the trial end so we only pay the shipping fee) and we finally feel that this is really one of the best. Is call Joliese tan. we found it at http://thehealthweekly.com/index2.html and of cause it say celebrity tan, we definitely must try it. and we really do love it.

what we like about it is, not only it gives the kind of tan we want. We really can feel that our skin being moisturize which really shock us and of cause it doesn't stink. haha.

I'm using the "sunkissed" from Omorovicza. It doesn't just give a nice natural tan but it also protects my skin from uv rays because it has spf 15. It was my friend who suggested to use it. I love the scent, too.

Mystic tan is terrible. Comes off after one shower and it permanently stains your nails.

All the lotions you can buy at the grocery stores generally suck too, and clog your pores so you get vicious breakouts.

Pro Tan's Sunny Day works pretty well. Doesn't look fake and smells better than most

That totally sucks. i've experienced turning orange because of cheap knock offs from stores. i suggest that you get a tanning lotion that's of high quality. just don't mind the price. what's important is that you won't be a laughing stock. right?

In today's life 80% of the people is vary aware of their skin, but rest 20% should also be aware cause increasing pollution becomes a dangerous factor against our skin. So European Peau d'or company researched a long on this and then made high tech tanning
with the latest in skincare. The products of this brand is fully trust able and dont have any side effects.... So i usually prefer Peaudor's Tanning Lotion..

"Hmmm….sunless tanning is the ‘in thing’. You get the tan of your choice without burning yourself in the scorching sun! Why don’t you try Peau d’or’s Sexy Confidence Indoor tanning lotion? It gives you instant bronzing power and the active antioxidants in it will make your skin golden brown. I’ve been trying this product for sometime now and the results are excellent!!!"

I love million dollar tan. I use their cabana tan extreme lotion and get spray tanned at a salon in costa mesa and they use the tan icon spray. It doesn't smell at all and it gives me a natural color that never looks orange. Mystic's color never looked good on my skin tone but finally I found something that works for my combination skin and makes me look amazing!
