Includes tanning mitt (not shown in product photo).
Your base coat is the foundation of your competition tan. Get this right and everything that goes on top works harder.
Pro Tan Overnight is the base coat we recommend most — it's the product that gives you control. You decide how light or dark you want to go, you can trial it before your first show, and it reduces the cost of buying a full show tan package. A lot of competitors do their own base coat and then book a tanner for the top coat on show day — this is exactly the product for that.
One bottle lasts a female competitor at least 3 shows, and males around 2 shows depending on how many coats you use.
How to use:
Before application, wash the entire body with Get Buffed for maximum colour absorption. Shake the bottle well before use.
Tip contents into a clean container or tupperware. Dab the mitt into the solution and apply over the body using lighter strokes around hairlines, knees, elbows and ankles.
You'll get an instant colour guide — this helps you apply evenly. The tan will deepen considerably within 3–5 hours. Allow around 30 minutes to dry before contact with clothing or bedding.
Sleep in the tan. Wear loose, dark clothing and use black bedding to avoid staining.
On show day — do not shower. Your tanner will apply the top coat directly over your base coat.
These bottles can also be poured directly into a standard spray tan machine if you prefer to apply that way.
Watch our application demo video below for a full walkthrough.
For a photoshoot: apply your base coat the evening before, then shower it off after 24 hours.
As a day-to-day tan: use fewer layers and shower off normally once you've reached your desired colour.
Back to back shows: after your first show, use the 60 Second Tan Remover to strip everything back, then repeat the process from the beginning.
How many coats do you need?
This depends on your natural skin tone, how dark you want to go, and how well your skin absorbs colour. As a guide:
Bikini and physique competitors — around 2 applications
All other categories — around 3 applications
Very fair skin — start your first 1–2 layers a full day before you'd normally begin. Tanners often recommend this and it makes a significant difference to the final result
For a darker base, mix with a small amount of Pro Tan Super Dark Base Coat.

Please note: avoid using antiperspirants or lotion before application. This product does not contain sunscreen and does not protect against sunburn. For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children.
