Natural Looking Tan - Finally!

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

...of a special blend of fruit-acids with a dihydroxy-complex that creates this natural tanning lotion. It is not tested on animals as it contains no harmful ingredients that would require extensive animal testing (Great!) . --------------- | Application | --------------- Before doing anything make sure that you are wearing gloves. These are provided, but your should be able to get suitable gloves from pretty much anywhere. You must also wash, exfoliate, and moisturise beforehand (Day before is best - moisturise really really well), like with all other self tanning products, if you want to achieve the best results. I tend to begin applying mine after a shower, again moisturising well. Once you are dry, begin applying the lotion, covering all areas (this is essential as it is hard to tell when is properly covered). On areas that you want...

Review of Fake Bake Self Tanning Lotion

Most natural tan!

Advantages: Natural tan, long lasting, easy to apply
Disadvantages: smells

...I use this product regularly and think it is the best fake tan of them all! My best results have been when I exfoliate before and moisturise 3 hours before applying the tan. So I recommend doing this before you fake tan. Most of the time I skip this step as it still does acheive excellent results. I think it is important to leave 3 hours after moisturising for the skin to soak up the moisture otherwise this can make your tan not develop as deep. The fake tan goes on brown so you can see where you are putting it a lot of the other fake tans out there go on colourless therefore you can't see where you have put it on and how heavy you have put it on. If I buy a new bottle I find the pump difficult to get the fake tan out however it does get going eventually. It does go on streaky however aslong I cover the area with fake tan...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

Great for an even natural tan!

Advantages: Easy to apply, no streaks, healthy natural tan
Disadvantages: colour doesn't go as deep as the st tropez lotion, orange hands if you don't use gloves

...on for a few days! The mousse lasts me about 5 days on my skin slightly shorter than the lotion but it is a lot easier to use. Personally I don't like the smell of st tropez but I do think the mousse smells better than the lotion. I think this is a good fake tan to use if you want to quickly put it on and go on a night out. The tan gives me a natural healthy looking tan and I really like the mousse. I used to buy this on ebay for about £20.00 for a large bottle, they sell a small bottle 120ml and a large bottle 240ml. This bottle would normally last me about a month and a half used once a week. I think the lotion bottle lasts longer. You can also buy this product from boots etc however it retails for £30.00 for the large bottle and £15.00 for a small bottle so it is a lot cheaper to buy off ebay if you can wait for it to arrive....

Review of St. Tropez Whipped Bronze Instant Self-Tanning Mousse

A sun-kissed, natural looking tan

Advantages: No streaking, no orange colour, not patchy
Disadvantages: After washing leaves tan a bit un-even & patchy

...smell a bit biscuity, but not as bad as some self tanners. I waited a few minutes to enable the self tan to dry then I went to bed. The result in the morning, I was a bit nervous about looking, just in case I looked orange and streaky, but I was pleasantly surprised. ***THE RESULTS*** My arms were a beautiful light tanned colour and it looked very natural. There was no streaking and no patchy areas . . Not even on my elbows (thank god, seeing as I was wearing a short sleeved top to work that day!). Everyone at work thought it looked very natural and it was well worth the money. It didn't even have the slightest orange tinge to it unlike to self tanners which leave you glowing! I was disappointed with this item when I showered, ok so I expected some of the tan to wash off, the more you shower the lighter the colour will get, right...

Review of Xen-Tan Mist Intense

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

A lovely, natural tan!

Advantages: Healthy looking skin, 2 in 1 moisturiser and self tan
Disadvantages: Some people may be put off by the smell.

...I never ever feel the need to have a tan, i'm quite happy going with the flow and being white. However, when it comes to special occasions and HAVE to put my body on show, then I feel the need to try and make myself look a bit browner! I'm totally against sunbeds and i'd rather not subject my body to harsh rays, and I daren't go for a spray tan and get my wobbly bits out whilst some bronzed slim gorgeous shop assistant sprays me! So last year when I was going to a wedding I went hunting in the shops and found Dove Summer Glow. It made me a nice healthy colour, and then I used it on holiday as an after sun as its a moisturiser also. And again now, i've a wedding in 3 days, so for the last 3 days I've been vigorously applying the cream in time.... Who are Dove? EVERYONE must have heard of Dove. In the last few years they have...

Review of Dove Summer Glow Body Lotion

Fake Bake still Original & the Best Fake Tan Ever Made

Advantages: a treat for your skin, Fake Bake is a treat for your skin. Imagine applying liquid chocolate and
Disadvantages: Fake Bake vs. St. Tropez - Fake Bake is the W I N N E R ! No Contest!

...Bake on for 2 days, then build up colour and have a beautiful Golden Tan, which lasts for weeks as long as I remember to moisturise regularly. Every single thing about Fake Bake I love - including the accompanying Passion Fruit exfoliator which smells absolutely luscious. I have eczema and the Fake Bake even gets rid of rashes! It contains 100 % Natural ingredients, so it is a treat for your skin and washes off sheets no problem. If I was to compare Fake Bake to St. Tropez, I prefer this to St. Tropez No Contest!! St. Tropez is far to chemically for me and if you have asthma or ezcema than I 'd say to you buy Fake Bake Please! Chemicals in products such as St. Tropez aggitate Asthma!!!...

Review of Fake Bake Self Tanning Lotion

Chocolate tanning sauce

Advantages: I love the smell! Non streaky/non orange if applied correctly.
Disadvantages: Don't over-rub or it will remove the tan

...people because it'd be a hassle adding the correct amount of moisturiser each time but personally I think the colour really suits my skin tone. It looks very similar to the colour I go when I tan naturally in the sun. It is cheaper than the Whipped Bronze Instant Mousse version because I can't find that discounted anywhere! However, when comparing the two I prefer the mousse version (d'oh!) because the colour is slightly more bronzed than brown, and it sinks into my skin so quickly I can dress after just 10 minutes. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a natural looking fake tan but if you've got a bit of money to spend then I'd definitely recommend the mousse one over this. See www.sttropeztan.com for more info on this and all their other products. carlypussycat - Ciao UK ©...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

GOLDEN AND NATURAL! WINNER.

Advantages: COLOUR GIDE, LASTS LONG, NO BAD SMELL
Disadvantages: TIME CONSUMING

...much in thickness so I'm going to be applying tonight to go a bit darker, but there is a lovely colour already! It did not feel uncomfortable as some people have said and I slept perfectly and it rinsed off well in the morning! I would suggest applying infront of a mirror and check all the time you go along...I found a glob under my chin which I quickly wiped off! eek. So anyone wanting a gorgeous natural tan who is fed up with spray tans going orange and washing off quickly then I would DEFINITELY recommend Fake Bake. I cant wait to use it again!...

Review of Fake Bake Self Tanning Lotion

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...
