ProTan

I unconditionally became a guinea pig for some tanning products.

It's like cosmetics for men.

ooh look at all the pretty shiny colours!

Honestly, I'm in no shape to be slathering on the stuff but my colleagues wanted to see the results on someone with a little less melanin.

"Interesting," I thought. It's like a preview of how I would look a few shades darker.

Maybe then I'll decide if it's a good idea to get a tan.

a nice dark brown.

compared with the underarm..

a better comparison with my sleeve rolled up

The stuff smells pretty good. Kinda fruity. Imagine a bodybuilder getting all waxed up from head to toe... a man full of muscles yet smells like strawberries or something.

The thing about ProTan is that it really is like putting on make-up. There's step 1, 2, 3 and 4.. kinda like how foundation is laid on a woman's face. The guys from the company swear that it's the proper way to put your muscles on display after all the hard work months before. This is because there are competitor products out there that are kinda like an all-in-one solution and really now, who doesn't like no-fuss stuff? The truth, hardcore-ness or simply a marketing ploy? I dunno.

Anyway, if you're serious about how you want to look on stage, then why scrimp on the final touch? Excellent colour, no streaking, easy to apply and wash off. Not forgetting the nice scent!
