Streaks! This is every dancer’s worst nightmare. Your dress is perfect, your hair and makeup look amazing and…your back looks like a Zebra. This is a scenario you really need to avoid and it’s not that complex.
For standard competitors it’s of course much easier, but you would be surprised how many streaked backs we see on every competition! Girls, if you’re dancing standard stay away from instant tanners. Remember that your partner is wearing a white shirt and his wrists are touching your back at all times- just imagine that lovely instant tan turning his shirt into a lovely mud colour. A great self-tanning foam is BONDI SANDS that smells like coco, gives a lovely dark tan (not orange!) and doesn’t stain.
Latin ladies (and gentlemen)- the tanning foam by Bondi is a great base, but it won’t be enough for a bronzed latin look. Turn to OTTANTE COSMETICS for professional dance tanning products.
Keep in mind that with all tanners you’ll need some practice; try applying tan for practice or for a night out to get used to how it all works.
