I SWEAR that Dream Tan hides your cuts.  2-3 coats of Pro Tan work a lot better, IMO

Totally agree.  Dream Tan smooths people out like nothing else.  

I was at a show this weekend where bodybuilders were melting all over the stage from Dream Tan, and there were guys that you knew were shredded, but you couldn't see a single striation on them.  Dream Tan has negatively affected placings for so many competitors...I strongly recommend people to stay away from it.

People use it a lot in montreal, if applyed correctly I think it looks great and doesn't hide cuts

the thing is that dream tan is so thick that you only have to put a tiny tiny bit on the skin and rub is over the largest region possible

It can be "okay" if it's applied as a very thin top coat over a lot of Pro Tan or some other color that sinks into the skin.  The worst thing a competitor can do IMO is rely only on Dream Tan for color.  It will never get you dark enough unless you get it on really thick, and it doesn't absorb into the skin, so putting it on thick is just a recipe for melting on stage.

You look darker in the first pic..without the tan applied. Some guys look better dry...like Cutler for example.

Dream Tan is banned at some contests in the UK - the competitors have to use ProTan instead which is markedly better. I'm not sure why it's banned though - I just read it somewhere - I think it depends on the federation or the actual location.

Because it gets on everything at the venue and it's a bitch to clean up.

Ah yes, I thought it was something like that - I've actually seen venues that allow it but to compensate they line the walls in the changing areas with polythene.

Dream Tan is the only thing I sell in my shop and its the best way to look like a million bucks onstage.  The person who applied it was a complete idiot and didn't know what he was doing. 

Here's the best way to use Dream Tan.


1.  Put a few drops of mineral oil in the Dream Tan and mix it good.  This gives you a much better sheen and keeps it thin so it doesn't cover up your definition

2.  The morning of the event, put on the Dream Tan liberally...just slab it on, bath in it, etc.

3.  Put on a sweatshirt and sweatpants.  Don't use any good ones as they are going to be ruined and go on with your day.  This allows the Dream Tan to soak into the skin good and blend nicely

4.  One hour before the event simply take off the sweats and have someone touch it up with more Dream Tan. 


That's it.

sami were you using the red/bronze or the brown?  After seeing countless competitors on stage they seem to prefer that color.  It helps if you pre-mix the oil into and let it sit for a bit before applying it.

Dreamtan is the worst shit in the world to use for a show...guaranteed to cover up any definition/ I actually had a guy arguing with me some time ago that it was soooooooo god that his buddy used it to cover up his tatoos...couldn't even se them..!LOL

Nothing like a pasty, dull hue to make you look your softest on stage.

Chick, I agree, but then why in the world do these guys continue to use it? I tell all of our  competitors its in theiur best interests to avoid the stuff, but it is all laid upon deaf ears
