Let me save all future competitors from a nightmare by letting you know to never try the LIQUID SUN RAYZ SELF TANING SPRAY!!!
Of course I will have reps in here disputing what I say, but THATS BECAUSE THERE REPS!
HORRIBLE IN EVERYWAY!! DO NOT USE BEFORE YOUR COMP!!
I used the Liquid sun Rays self tanning spray for my competition this past weekend. Followed all the instructions leading up to the day of the tan, and the tanning procedures. It was horrible in everyway possible!
Color was bad! Dark, uneven, HELPED COVERING UP MY MUSCLE STRIATIONS!! Worst thing possible!
Didn't spray evenly. Not even close! Cam out in like a 3/4 circle spray. was a joke!
Roller is a piece of sh*t!
Did not roll easy or evenly!
It ran at the show when I started to sweat just a little bit.
I honest to God mean this stuff was horrible in everyway possible!!! maybe when they set up and do the professional spray tan at shows it comes out good, but the self apply that they sell on the website and what the reps try to push is the worst!!
DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE I DID!! DO NOT USE LIQUID SUN RAYZ!!!!

I bought some, cost me £30, ****ty dirt black liquid, I put two coats on the underside of my forearm to try it out, the next day it was no darker than the natural tan on the top of my forearm
I didn't use it for my comp, just used St Tropez (2 coats) and some dream tan on the day.
I would have been furious if I had gone to the trouble of applying it all over for the result I got.
Its ****.

I had a similar experience, although not as bad as yours sounds. I wasn't dark enough with four coats (rinsed after first two, no rinse after last two). It was a little blotchy and they only way it went on nicely was with a puff. I agree the applicator it came with was worthless. I finally poured it into a bowl and used the puff and then it was better. I had high hopes for it. On the up side, the customer service I received when I had questions was stellar! They responded quickly.
That was my first show too! My second one had a spray tanning company at the site and it was wonderful! Well worth the $$$.
BTW, the avi pic is the LSR tan, doesn't look too bad in the pic, but not dark enough and was blotchy is spots.Julia

If LSR doesn't work for you then you don't know what you're doing. :)
In all seriousness, how you prep your skin is really important and application technique is very important no matter which brand you use.
My competition color of choice is Liquid Sun Rayz. It is the least likely to change color and will not run like many other brands. I can tell you that many of the other IFBB pros use LSR for the same reason I do.

I'm not going to dispute what you say and pretend like the product is perfect just because I'm sponsored by an LSR affiliate. I'll take your word that you did everything as it says on the website and used the LSR skin prep products leading up to your show. But with any tanning product, and that includes LSR, certain skin types just might not react well. It sounds to me like your skin just didn't absorb the color well for whatever reason. Maybe it's because you naturally have oily or dry skin. Maybe you didn't give the product quite enough time in between coats to dry. How many coats did you apply? How much time did you allow them to dry? Did you sweat a lot the night before your show? Did you reapply in the morning? ANY of those factors could have some bearing on how your tan turned out!
From my experience, LSR was the best color for my skin and I would recommend it to anyone. I tried Pro Tan and Dream Tan. Neither of them gave me the depth of color or the durability or stage under the lights. That's my experience with the product and that's why I support LSR.

I find it surprising that so many people do not try a product out in advance of a competition. People weigh every gram of food they eat and count every calorie they burn in cardio for months, but when it comes to a tanning product, people order it at the last minute and apply it the night before or the morning of the competition.
It might cost a little extra, but apply it a few weeks before the show and see what it does, especially if you are trying something new.

I used Liquid Sun Rayz Mousse and it worked great. Can't speak for the spray, never tried it, but mousse worked awesome. I had an even dark tan, not blotchy or uneven. My wife helped me apply 3 coats total, and I loved the results. I will be using it again and again in the future!!!

I have tried several products. First i used protan.. turned me green.. i had a pro spray me with their brand.. turned green.. had an italian product (dont know the name of it) was a pain to put on came out too dark/bronze and was even worse to come off..
Last show i did i used LSR only needed one coat (and i am super pale) easy to apply (used my own applicators) and came off well. I also used their skin prep/ph cleanser since i had previously turned green with other products and had no issues.
My legs did come out a bit splotchy but that was due to getting caught in the rain. the show had us outside in little tents and it was raining. so stepping in puddles, others splashing, tent sides throwing water drops i dont think anyones tan was perfect that day anyways. (the show was not a well thought out process anyways) but live and learn.
Try your products out first because not every product is going to work on every person. Personally i have liked LSR the best so far. YMMVwww.bikinisandbiceps.com
