Bombshell Productions β€” Frequently Asked Questions

How do I remove my tan after the show?

We proudly sell an amazing product called E Rayz It that helps safely remove the tan. It's by far the best Option especially if you're competing back-to-back weekends.Another safe and effective option is a lemon juice and sugar scrub:

Mix fresh lemon juice with sugar to create a gentle exfoliating scrub Use in the shower with warm water Moisturize thoroughly afterward

🚫 We do not recommend baking soda. It is frequently used incorrectly and can be harsh on the skin.

When should I start skin prep?

Skin prep should begin as soon as you decide to compete β€” these are healthy habits to maintain year-round. The better condition your skin comes in the better your tan will be!

Baseline skin prep (early prep / regular routine):

Moisturize daily (alcohol and fragrance free moisturizer)
Exfoliate once per week
Avoid harsh or abrasive products like baking soda!!

Ideal competition prep window:

We strongly encourage consistent skin prep 6–8 weeks out from your show for best tanning results.

Peak Week Skin Prep:

During peak week, we recommend switching to a more intentional and controlled skin prep routine. You can:

Follow our Official Skin Prep Instructions Use our LSR Skin Prep Kit Or follow our drugstore brand recommendations

🚫 Please avoid baking soda β€” misuse can negatively affect how your tan develops and adheres.
