How many applications should I choose?

Most athletes choose the Standard Package: one Overnight Competition Color base coat the day or evening before, and one Instant Top Coat the morning of the show. Fair skin or a darker goal may need an extra base coat. Base coats are spaced 3–4 hours apart. Not sure? Email a photo of your natural skin tone to cs@protanusa.com.

I paid for my package. How do I get my appointment time?

You don't need to do anything else. We schedule you from the details you gave at checkout and email your time and location one week before the show. Check your spam folder.

When does online booking close?

48 hours before the show. After that, walk-ups are welcome at our check-in table. A $25 late fee applies (it may be higher at national shows).

Are touch-ups, oil and glue extra?

No. Every package includes backstage touch-ups, posing oil and suit glue. Our team is backstage 45 minutes before the show starts and stays until the last athlete leaves the stage, for prejudging and finals.

Skin prep: the week before
  • A week out: start exfoliating with Get Buffed®. Be gentle, and don't skip your back, feet and neck.
  • Hair: use Hair Away®, wax at least 5 days before the show, or shave no later than 12 hours before your first appointment. Exfoliate after.
  • 24 hours out: stop moisturizer and lotion, then do one last full-body exfoliation.
  • Once tanning starts: no more exfoliating or hair removal, and nothing on your skin at appointments: no deodorant, perfume or lotion.
What to wear and bring
  • Wear: loose, baggy clothes with no tight elastic, and slides or sandals with few straps. Skip red cotton.
  • After tanning: no sports bras, tight straps or snug underwear.
  • Men: bring tanning trunks that aren't your stage trunks.
  • Hotel: bring your own sheets and towels. Color can rub off on hotel linens.
  • Leave valuables at home. Only athletes and technicians are in the tanning room, and men and women tan separately. Protective accessories are free.
