Body Building Competition Spray Tanning
 

I am set to do some body building competition spray tanning in the next two months. I use Norvell Black Out but I curious what type of gloss everyone uses on their clients right before they go on stage.

I specialize in tanning competitors for bodybuilding competitions. You just need a natural oil that has water and silicon ingredients in it (dimethicone). This gives it slip. Don't use petroleum based oils like mineral oil because it will look blotchy. Also, the skin absorbs the oil after 45 minutes because competitors are dehydrated. So it needs to be applied within 45 minutes of them going on stage. You can either apply it with your hands (I prefer wearing gloves), or you can spray it with a gun (use a separate gun that what you use for your solution). Also, because of how Bodybuilders get ready for shows (rather than the other divisions like bikini and men's physique) they need the oil applied right before they get on stage or they get sort of watery. I'm not sure if it has to do with their reload or if it is from pumping up backstage and getting sweaty.

I too specialize in tanning competitors. Glosswise, I use Hawaiian tropic dark tanning oil. It works wonders. Apply on hands and rub in gently. You can also put it in a spray bottle and spray. That one gives a nice shine, far better then pro tans muscle sheen.

I'm going to keep using Norvell Black Out my clients keep taking 1st and 2nd place so I'm not going to be changing anytime soon! I'm doing several for a show in VA this weekend.
