I have used many self tan products in the market, but this is my personal favourite. I have used self tans made by many different brands. From cheap ones including: Solitan, Ambre Solaire to more expensive ones such as No7, St Tropez and Fake Bake.
Fake Bake is available widely in stores such as Boots and Superdrug, including many salons. It is also used widely in salons and by many stars including Sarah Harding from Girls Aloud.
SMELL
This self tan does have a strong smell. The smell however does not put me off as I always achieve my desired result.
PRICE
The price varies depending on where you buy the product and the bottle size. You can pick this product up from between £15.00 and £20.00 in most department stores . salons as mentioned above.
RESULT
Natural, golden / brown glow. The lotion goes on thick and doesn't drip, leaving you streak free! The lotion is tinted very dark, so I prefer to sleep with it on and rinse it the morning. The down side of the lotion being so dark is that it can stain clothes etc. I recommend you leave the lotion to dry for atleast 10 minutes before putting your clothes on. I strongly recommend you wear gloves when applying this lotion as the palm of your hands WILL stain. Usually, fake bake do provide a pair of gloves with the bottle. The tan will last for roughly 7 days… depending on how often you are in the water and scrub your skin. The lotion will dry within a minute or two which is great if you are in a rush and it doesn't leave you feeling sticky like many lotions do.
PRODUCT
There are different types available from fake bake such as an aerosol spray, foam spray or a lotion. My personal favourite is the lotion as you have more control over the application. Fake Bake also have different products available such as a moisturiser, exfoliator and application mits.
