Tanning beds have been banned in most states in Australia since 2014, since figures show around 43 deaths on average were caused by them every year. The sun is VERY bad here, with approx 11,000 new cases of melanoma and 1,500 deaths in Australia each year so we always emphasize to everyone that fake is the only way to go. We have a spray tanner come to our gym before each comp and she uses an organic, sensitive skin safe type of product, although personally I still tend to use the one a cheap one out of a bottle.
Specific question for other flyers - is there any product that's suitable to use on the day of comp itself? I often find I'm not as dark as I want on the day since it's started to fade but I'm too scared to apply anything in case my legs are slippery.
