Fake Bake Body Butter Mad About Melon

Fake Bake

Advantages: Streak-free, nice colour - not orange
Disadvantages: Time consuming, needs to be reapplied for darker colour

I've always been happy using my usual L'Oreal tan, but since coming onto Ciao I have become curious about Fake Bake, after reading a few positive and negative reviews I decided to buy it and see for myself. I was shocked to find it is sold for around £25 for a 170ml bottle. But I had a search on the internet and found it at cheapest for £15 from an online tanning shop which is doing an offer. Packaging The tan comes in a dark brown bottle with gold writing. The bottle is nice but not as exciting looking as I expected from an expensive brand. There is a detailed explanation on the back of the bottle on how to use the tan. It advises you to exfoliate and moisturise right before using the tan, to always use gloves when applying, then to allow it to dry for 20 minutes before dressing or going to bed. It continues to advise that ...

Review of Fake Bake Self Tanning Lotion

I love fake bake

Advantages: gorgeous colour, easy to apply, lasts ages, even tanning
Disadvantages: quite expensive, colours sheets

I am one of those people who hates the fact that I live in a cold and gloomy place (Scotland) I love to be tanned but I have heard so many scary stories about using tanning beds that I avoid them at all costs! This means that my only options for getting a tan are to go on holiday (not so practical!) or to use fake tan. However I have had far too many experiences where I turn a glowing orange/yellow as opposed to a sun kissed brown. I tried fake bake because I decided I wanted to try something a little bit more expensive than my previous fake tans. I hadn't really heard a lot about it but when I tested a variety of the fake tans on offer in Harvey Nichols fake bake seemed to be the one that suited me the best. I first tried the fake bake airbrush tan which I think was around £25. Although it did give a beautifully genuine looking ...

Review of Fake Bake Self Tanning Lotion

Baked without looking faked

Advantages: Lovely golden realistic tan and can use on face on body
Disadvantages: It would develop quicker.

Fake Bake is a tanning lotion which you can apply to your face and body. This is an advantage because you can apply it to your whole body without worrying if your face is pale and your body is tanned! Application: My personal advice for best results would be to exfoiliate well (using a exfoiliating glove) on parts such as elbows, neck and upper arms anywhere with dry skin so the tan doesn't go bumpy or uneven. Then moisturize well and after 5-10 minutes apply fake bake. It's also advised that you apply fake bake before you go to sleep and then when you wake me up you wash the excess tan off your body. Alike St, Tropez, Fake bake takes around 5-6 hours to develop. How dark does it tan? The colouring has never made me orange. The colouring is a lovely realistic deep golden brown tan. When I wanted a darker tan i would re apply ...
