Fake Bake - The best fake tan out there!

Advantages: AMAZING COLOUR! No smell, Easy to apply, Long lasting
Disadvantages: Can be a little costly

...Well what can I say, I am one of those girls who hates being pale! Call me what you like tanorexic, tan tastic whatever, all i know is i like a tan even in december! I have tried and tested so many products from Xen Tan all the way to Johnsons holiday skin. Until one day I was told by a friend to try Fake Bake and that they have read that all the celebritys have used it. So I thought, why not? I ordered a bottle off Ebay (Only about £15 inc p&p) in a few days it came and I couldnt wait to try it! Its a brown bottle with gold writing on it. It says to exfoliate and to top it up every week. How to apply Fake Bake properly: First EXFOLIATE EXFOLIATE EXFOLIATE! If you don't do this you are just putting tan onto dead skin cells which means it is prone to come off alot quicker and not be even. ALWAYS exfoliate before you shave...

Review of Fake Bake Self Tanning Lotion

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

Amazing Fake Tan

Advantages: Natural Deep Colour
Disadvantages: Price

...After using tonnes of high-street fake tans I was very apprehensive about trying Fake Bake but decided to give it a go. The first time I purchased Fake Bake was from www.lookfantastic.co.uk and was in a set which included Fake Bake original lotion, body scrub and body oil and I was left with not much change from £50.00!! I thought it must be something special at that sort of price. I followed the instructions that came with it and started off by using the body polish all-over in the shower. The Body Polish is great it smells great too, it doesn't take long to apply and makes your skin feel and smell gorgeous. I then followed this busy using Fake Bake Body Oil, which as smells great. The oil is sprayed on whilst the skin is still wet and rubbed in gently. I then towel tried my skin and prepared myself for the fake tan. I used...

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

...tan it was quite difficult to apply the product evenly as it didn't always spray out of the bottle in a constant stream. However I really liked the colour that I got from the airbrush tan because it wasn't the orange or yellow colour that many of the cheaper tans create. It was also good because the tan has an indicator brown colour so that you know how the tan will look while you are applying it, rather than hours later. Once I had finished with the airbrush bottle I decided that it was slightly too difficult to apply and therefore decided I would test some more brands to see the result I gained. I tried the St Tropez spray on tan and again I felt that I turned a rather unattractive colour. So I was back to fake bake but this time I decided to buy the lotion as opposed to the spray. This was definitely the right decision because I...

Natural Looking Tan - Finally!

Advantages: Looks great, easy to use, even colour.
Disadvantages: Can be a little messy

...a little lighter like your face, apply mixed with a moistuiser to dilute the lotion. I always leave the cream about 15 minutes before getting into my nightwear. Sleep and then in the morning shower - Ta Da! -------------- | Positives? | -------------- 1) Not tested on animals. 2) Great tan 3) Pretty easy to use 4) Even colour 5) Very natural looking ---------------- | Negatives? | ---------------- 1) Fake bake products do no contain sun protection and so there is the added hassle of coating yourself in sun lotion whenever you are out in the sun. 2) Can be messy. 3) The prep work (as with all fake tans to get it right you have to prepare your skin properly)....

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...

Fake Bake - A Messy Nightmare

Advantages: Good sized Bottle, Colour Guide
Disadvantages: Thick Texture, Hard to spread product evenly

...I would like to start by telling everyone that i personally have used at least every tanning product in my local chemist! Also this is my first ever review..so please go easy on me! :) I First noticed fake bake a few months ago and decided to do an internet search on it, Of course being easily swayed by the mention of fake bake having a few celebrity fans who apparently swear by it, i decided to give it a go. The bottle itself is brown in colour and is a lot less garish compared to some fake tan bottle /spray packaging i have seen, which i must admit gave me some confidence! It has a gold stencilled image of a woman on the front and the fake bake logo.For your money ( i paid £25.00 at my local salon) you will get 170ml of product i found this to be quite a generous amount. I had high hopes for this product and once i had read...

Review of Fake Bake Self Tanning Lotion

Fake baked to perfection

Advantages: Natural looking colour
Disadvantages: Quite thick to apply

...I am naturally quite a pale person so fake tan usually sends me orangey and not the golden brown i wish for, that was until i discovered Fake Bake. I applied it as per the instructions and despite the smell that always comes with fake tan i felt quite hopeful after hearing how all these celebrities rated it. Be warned it is quite thick and gloves are a good idea when applying.I tend to buy cheap gloves from the chemist and not the ones they sell with the product as they cost too much! I allowed it to dry fully before putting on pyjamas and going to bed,probably about 20 minutes. The next morning i awoke and showered. What was left was a gorgeous streak free natural looking tan. Better than i have achieved with other self tanners and as im not the best at applying these things i was quite impressed that i had no streaks...

Review of Fake Bake Self Tanning Lotion

Fake Bake Instant Self Tanning Spray

Advantages: Instant, natural colour, lasts a long time
Disadvantages: Sometimes the can can break

...all over your body, concentrating on dry bits such as your elbows, knees, hands and feet it will give them a soft, smooth surface for the Fake Bake to settle on. If you're skin is uneven then the tan will also be. It is also great to use as an every day moisturiser and for moisturising after your tan. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fake Bake Instant Self Tanning Spray V Fake Bake Self Tanning Lotion ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have attended Fake Bake courses in both Spray Tanning (which produces the same effect as Fake Bake Instant Tanning Spray) and in Rub in Application. From a professional point of view I would definately recommend Fake Bake Instant Tanning Spray every time, and also from a clients point of view my clients prefer this, the reason I no longer offer the Rub in...

Review of Fake Bake Aerosol Airbrush Tan

Outstanding Results

Advantages: Streak free and natural looking
Disadvantages: Strong smell

...The BEST self tan product around! 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...
