Fake Bake is a new breakthrough in self-tanning, guaranteed to satisfy even the palest skin tones!

Fake Bake's exclusive formula works to enhance your own pigment without turning you orange! The rich cocoa-brown color ensures a "streak-free" application every time! It's the sunless tanner of choice for numerous celebrities that include Madonna and Britney Spears.

Features and Benefits:

  • Exclusive, patented formula contains penetrants that bond with your skin's own pigment
  • Formulated to transport DHA, the active tanning ingredient, to deepen layers of skin
  • When used as directed, color stays for days without fading
  • Moisture-rich formula that dramatically softens skin
  • Results are more intense and natural looking than anything else on the market

Directions:

ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES. Use small amounts and apply on clean skin. Lightly glaze over hands and feet, bending elbows and knees when applying.  Allow to dry before going to bed. Can be used on face. Can be applied several nights in a row to achieve desired tan. Apply only once a week, however, you determine if more applications are necessary for deeper tan.  If you have dry skin, moisturize before applying tanning product for a longer-lasting smooth tone for your newly tanned skin.

No Comparison to Fake Bake
Reviewer: kelli   2009-11-16

This stuff is absolutely amazing! It really does give you a "tan" not an orange tint. It really is easy to apply as well, but definitely use the gloves that Fake Bake provides. As long as you do a circular motion there are no streaks and the color guide makes it super easy to see where you have applied the lotion. I shower at night, apply a moisturizing lotion, then apply the lotion on at night, wait about 15-20 minutes before dressing and then in the morning I shower the color guide off and look like I just came back from Hawaii it's AWESOME!!!

some advice
Reviewer: Liz from FL   2009-09-23

i absolutely love this stuff!! very natural looking. i usually buy little round makeup applicator sponges and use those to apply...the result is a beautiful even tan!

Great Results
Reviewer: bo   2009-08-31

I have used a few self-tanning products and spray on tan with mixed results. The color was strange or was streaky. My girlfriend uses Fake Bake and wanted me to try it. She greased me down head to toe in this stuff. Much to my surprise, it worked really well. I had a nice even natural looking color. I'll definitely use this product.

Pros and cons
Reviewer: anonymous   2009-07-28

Pros: Color looks very naturally, even afer two applications in a row. The face formula also looked natural. Went on smoothly. I have no streaky or trange looking areas. My knees, elbows and feet don't have too much color and they don't look bizarre. Cons: The rose water smell of it reminds me of old lady perfume! However, it doesn't really have an offense self tan smell. The end resuly isn't very dark. I applied a second time right ater showering (eight hours later) and still I think it's not very dark. Three applications would give me my desired darkness. The color guide will get everywhere so cover anything you're coming into contact with. Okay, the person above who said it doesn't come off in the shower is delusional. Of course it does - a lot of it, but it is just the color guide, not your tan so don't worry about it. Also, the person who said she doesn't wash it off - that's not a good idea. The guide rubs of everywhere. Plus, if you were to get any wetness on you or get sweaty you'd have a really embarrassing situation. I've tried Lancome, Tan in a Can, Sun Laboratories, Faux Tan, San Tropez, Loreal, Neutrogena, a a few others that I can't even remember the name of and this is the most natural color of all. I do like the Faux Tan by Bare Esscentuals as well.

horrible product, great results
Reviewer: kaitlyn   2009-07-10

this moisturizer is the pits, not only does it leave u feeling greasy but it takes 4ever to put on, but i could deal with that if u look like uve been at waikiki 4 a month. i dont know y people say it comes off in the shower, it doesnt, and it really lasts, but NEVER USE ON UR FACE, i think the best is 2 put a bronzer on ur face
