A spray tan isn't just for the women who want to achieve a natural looking glow, it's also for the weight lifting, competition busting, bodybuilding women of the world who want to enhance their abs and muscles. But why would a bodybuilder use spray tan? For the same reasons that the rest of us do. The only real difference is that they use plenty more of it to achieve an exaggerated finish to enhance their bodies! Here are the top reasons why bodybuilders use fake tan in competitions.

1.It defines muscle

Muscles actually appear more prominent on those darker skin tones rather than lighter skin tones. This means fake tanning is a clever technique to increase the appearance of your muscle definition without making any effort. It complements all the effort at the gym. However, a bodybuilder doesn't just go for one layer of tan.

A spray tan helps this by enabling muscles to appear leaner as the darker colour draws the eye inwards.
