Fake Bake Body Butter Pear-Adise

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... Read review

Advantages: natural
Disadvantages: price

...Fake Bake is just one of many fake tans i use and have tried, it is very very easy to apply as it goes onto the skin with a tint of brown unlike some fake tans which go on your skin with no colour at all. this fake tan comes in the foam the spray or the cream, i found that the foam worked best for my skin and there was also a seperate face foam which is alot less tanning than the body foam. this fake tan goes on very easily and dries quickly but you will find with fake bake that if you bend your arms whithin ten minutes of applying you will get really white arms in the centre. from realising this i always applied the fake bake to my arms lastly. i hope this helps this is worth the money. Fake bake is really natural not to orange like most tans smells nice to. you should see the tans best look 24hours after applied jump in the shower... Read review

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... Read review
