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 Instant Self Tanning Spray

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

...NB - The product is actually called Fake Bake Instant Self Tanning Spray, so that is what I will refer to it as in this review. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why I purchased the product ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I was first introduced to Fake Bake Instant Self Tanning Spray when I attended The Beauty Show at the NEC 2 years ago. This is a show for beauty therapists and only trusted brands and products are sold here, at retail price. When I walked past the Fake Bake stand, I saw someone getting a spray tan, I stayed and watched for a few minutes to see the outcome and when the girl stepped out the tent, she looked amazing. Her tan was even, streak free and natural looking, it was a really beautiful colour. After seeing this I went to the counter to speak to one of the representitives about what products I could purchase and they...

Review of Fake Bake Aerosol Airbrush Tan

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

Most natural tan!

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

...results and I recommend for the tan to fully develop to leave it on for about 8 hours. When I wash off the tan I can't smell it anymore which is a good thing as well as I don't think it smells to good. Once I wash off the tan I am left with a healthy looking real tan. The tan normally stays even on me for about 5-7 days then it can go slightly uneven and patchy. I normally exfoliate and scrub off the tan to make it even. I then reapply st tropez 2 days later, I find this best as it ensures you have got rid of the previous application on your skin ensuring even results this time. I normally buy the 240ml bottle which lasts me about 2 months if I use it once a week which makes up for the expense of it! Normally I buy it from ebay and can pick up a 240ml bottle for about £27.00 where as in the shops the 240ml bottles retails for about...

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 Piz Buin Self Tan Spray

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

...to apply a very thin layer and top it up if you wish the next day. Applying too much makes it uneven and/or streaky. AFTER APPLICATION You may have noticed the smell while you were applying it. If not you'll notice it when it is in the process of developing. I quite like the smell as fake tans go - I couldn't really describe it very accurately but St Tropez describe it as a 'relaxing aromatic scent' and I suppose that's not too far off the mark. It's not a chemical smell like some of the spray tans you can buy. You MUST NOT have any water contact with the parts you applied tan to until the next morning. If you do, you'll have white splash marks and look rather strange. You must also avoid perspiring for 24-48 hours after application because that can also make the colour run. If I have applied my normal thin layer evenly...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan 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

A St Tropez Tan

Advantages: Excellent colour, easy to see where applying as it is coloured
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...This product has got to be one of the most convincing fake tans I have ever found. Last year, being a very pale shade with the task of being a bridesmaid for one of my mates, I decided that I didn't want my pale skin to clash with the pale dress I had to wear!! So off to a salon to have the St Tropez professional tanning treatment. I was amazed! I emerged from the salon with a decent tan (as it is coloured you can see the effects immediately). The tan developed and I was left looking as though I had been on holiday. It lasted for nearly 2 weeks. A real confidence boost for the vain people amongst us!! After seeing how the professionals do it, I now do it myself!!! It is much better to mix half and half with moisturiser. If you go wrong you just apply another thin coat. You wash the excess off about 4-5 hours later and you...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

Smear Tan

Advantages: Erm.......none?
Disadvantages: Smeared, badly designed, crap and generally disastrous

...on the bottle, just the words "Self Tan Spray" in ten languages. But then you would know that having bought the stuff wouldn't you? Because it comes in a smooth, silvery white box with the same written across it. The box collapses open into a flat sheet with the instructions for use printed on the inside- very useful. Yes, of course I see myself keeping a crappy bit of card alongside the bottle on the bathroom shelf. Oh well, at least the instructions are straightforward, and not exactly difficult to remember. The contents are 125ml, enough for several legs only applications (my arms tan!) and a few full body. The price is £7.99, which is fairly average for a self tan, although cheaper are to be found- my Soltan was the same price, but for 25ml more product. INSTRUCTIONS: Shampoos say lather, rinse, repeat. Self tans all say...
