Natural Looking Tan - Finally!

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

...--------------- | Back Story | --------------- As someone who never tans - just burns (due to my fair skin, I have used a lot of various fake tans over the years (having resorted to the highest SPF factor I can find). I was browsing the internet one day and came across a site for Fake Bake, it sounded worth a try so I went to my trusty hair and beauty site (http://www.salonlines.co.uk) and they had it as always at a great price and next day delivery. (Please see my previous posts on Salonlines - They have every hair and beauty product you ever want at cheaper prices! - I love that website). ------------------------------ | So What is Fake Bake? | ------------------------------ Very simply put Fake Bake is a range of sunless tanning products. These products are recommended by dermatologists. The Secret is a combination...

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

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

The only sunless tanner i will use.

Advantages: Too many to mention them all, easy application, great color ,nice smell etc
Disadvantages: None

...pink fancy writing. Beneath her photo its written "Internationale Tanning Specialist" DOES THIS WORK? Yes in my opinion it worked beyond well, infact far beyond my expectations and thats no exaggeration. I have tried so many sunless tanning products, i have bought the expensive til the not so expensive and they all have one thing in common that being that they didnt do what i wanted them to do. I have felt duped after spending money on st tropez and others similar overly priced products and they just didnt provide the color, fast results or ease of application i desired. This product was a dream come true for me. I was starting to think a tanning product this excellent just didnt exist. I find it funny to compare my search for it to that of those searching for proof the sasquash aka bigfoot exists, because it was so illusive...

Review of Jan Tana Fast Tan

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

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

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

...Although I got on fantastically well with the Whipped Bronze Instant Self-Tanning Mousse from St Tropez I'm always up for trying new products and it appeared to me that more people use the normal 'lotion' as opposed to the mousse. Is it better? Let's see. ST TROPEZ TINTED SELF-TANNING LOTION The bottle for this lotion is quite different to the mousse. This lotion is presented in a smart, thick white plastic bottle with a black pump action nozzle. It proclaims itself as being 'Step 3' (and we all know what that means!) St Tropez like to make out that only their Step 1 and Step 2 could POSSIBLY precede Step 3 but I disagree - Step 1 is essentially just an exfoliator and Step 2 is a moisturiser. I would imagine that anyone willing to fork out money on a fake tan probably owns AT LEAST one exfoliator and moisturiser already...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

From sunless to sunkissed with St Tropez!

Advantages: Even natural colour, easy application!
Disadvantages: Price!

...well with the tanner, especially thicker ones such as Palmers cocoa butter, as they give me a more natural colour. The Whipped Mouse Tanner itself states the following on the back of the bottle : Streakless instant colour : dries in 60 seconds. Now, although the colour dries quite quickly - the development time is much longer! ( The bottle says 3 hours) So always leave some time, otherwise you will be half way through your day before you notice the tan. The tanner colour is very dark, so gloves are essential. I often use my hands as i feel it works just as well - just make sure you scrub your hands! I use whitening toothpaste and it removes all of the colour. The Best thing about this product is its beautiful natural glow. Don't worry when applying if you see streaks. The important thing is to remember that as long as you have covered...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

  The Only Time I Would Fake It!

Advantages: Makes me feel fab
Disadvantages: Wee bit expensive

...Being an impatient soul. I couldn't be bothered to have regular sun bed sessions before my holidays last year. I decided to follow the examples of Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston and invest in a MagicTan. I would have liked their figures and their money not to mention the lovely Mr Pitt but you can't have everything can you? Everything I'd heard about MagicTan was positive so as I had a £5 coupon off the normal £25 price I booked at my nearest MagicTan centre, which just happened to be in Whitley Bay, in North Tyneside. There are plenty other places throughout the country too. **What is MagicTan?** It's a private tanning booth, which sprays a fine mist over the body in less than a minute. As I don't like the idea of inflicting the sight of my pasty white squishy body onto poor unsuspecting beauty salon staff, a tanning...

Review of No Ad Magic Tan Sunless Tanning Booth

Tan-Fastic

Advantages: Works well, Smells ok
Disadvantages: Packaging looks cheap, takes a while to dry

...With Summer seeming to be well and truly here, I've become quite conscious of how deathly pale my skin is looking. Over winter I tend to go a bit grey (not in a John Major's 'Spitting Image' puppet way, just a bit dreary looking!) I don't tan very well - it takes months for me to develop a nice colour but with the amount of bronzed goddesses flaunting it in skimpy Summer clothes I feel very pale and uninteresting! The obvious answer would seem to be fake tan, but I've avoided it ever since I developed a minor obsession with applying it a few years ago that left me looking like the love child of Dale Winton and the bloke off Bargain Hunt! Victoria Beckham may be about to flaunt an immaculate fake tan, but personally, I can't apply it without looking like I've been Tangoed! I did try those fast tan sun beds and I have to...
