Review: Amazing! - Wow! I have searched forever to find a tan as BROWN and natural as this! Right away, I could tell that the product wasn't going to turn my pale white legs orange. The color guide is really dark and extremely helpful so you don't end up with white patches of skin like you normally would. I have it on right now, and the color is so dark compared to what my natural color is. I almost wish I didn't have to wash off the color guide! But apparently, all you have to do is layer it if you want a really deep tan. I'm Irish and German and Scottish... In other words, ghostly pale! I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a self tanner that makes it look like they just went on vacation and spent two weeks on the beach. You get the healthy glow without all of that damaging sun exposure. I'm just so impressed with how easy this is to use. A few tips that I've noticed really help with the application are: 1. Exfoliate like CRAZY the day of application. Especially on the driest parts of your skin. For me, this is the ankles, knees, elbows, and the shins. Fake Bake sells a Body Polish that supposedly works better because it doesn't leave residue on your skin. I haven't used it, but I will probably buy it eventually. For now, a really rough body scrub works for me. Unfortunately, I'm using some off brand one or else I'd give a recommendation. 2. Moisturize really well and let your skin absorb the lotion before you apply Fake Bake. I use Seacret (the one that comes in the kit for your nails, from the Dead Sea) Lotion in Natural. For the extra dry parts (mentioned above) I apply a small amount of lotion directly before applying FB and it doesn't seem to lighten the tan in those areas, it simply helps the color go on smoother and prevents what I think of as "clumping" of the product. 3. Wear gloves! (duhhh) If you don't wear gloves, the color will stick right on your palms which tend to be dry. 4. For the tops of your feet, you only need a little bit, but if you ignore your feet, it looks really obvious that you have fake tan on, no matter how natural the color is. Same goes for the hands. If you're worried about streaking, mix some of the Fake Bake with your moisturizer. I do this for my face too because I'm too scared to apply just the color to my whole face and neck. 5. If the color guide looks streaky, the end tan is going to look streaky! Common sense, right? Well the first time I applied, I ignored the fact that the color was sticking to the line my jeans had left on my legs... and now I have tan jean marks. haha. So that's another tip, be sure you let the pants marks to go away before application. All in all, I love this product. Definitely worth the money. The best part? No more comments about how I look like I never go out in the sun! Woot! I'm going to be the tannest one of all of my friends now. :)
Review: This original version is the best to purchase - Last year I tried a different version of Fake Bake that was watery thin. I did not like it and left a negative email. This year I purchased the "original" version, and it is just like the original. It is thick and does not run when you try to put it on. I really like Fake Bake. My legs just glow when I put it on and they will stay dark for at least a week. I start wearing this every year around the end of March and continue using it until the tube is empty. I apply about once a week. I have had skin cancer due to my younger days in the 1970s when I worshiped the sun and we didn't know about how bad the sun was for our skin. So now I only tan with Fake Bake and use a sun screen when I'm in the sun. This is how I have perfected using tanning lotion, specifically Fake Bake. I first exfoliate/shave my legs. I wear latex gloves and start at my calves and thighs, stomach, chest, and arms. If you have any sun spots, it turns the spots darker. I rub and rub and rub in a circular motion until it is all rubbed in with no streaks. When I am finished, I take a dry washcloth and rub off the excess on my wrists, heels, feet, knees, elbows, and under my arms. Those areas look rusty with tanning lotion. I then put on an old pair of pjs and a long sleeved shirt so the sheets on my bed don't get lotion on them. It does wash out; however, it may not wash out altogether, which is the reason I wear old pajamas. I always use it before bed. The next day you can take a shower and the excess will wash off, but your skin will be tanned. If you go out in the sun and sweat and don't wash off first, you will have dark streaks running down your clothes, so remember to shower first. As long as they don't change the product, I will continue to use Fake Bake.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this tanner have a strong smell like the rest of the self tanners?**
A: Not too strong of a smell. However, if you go with the Fake Bake spray on tanner it smells amazing! Just like coconuts!

**Q: Unlike the spray/mot version, can you apply lotion on after the product?**
A: i wait about 30 minutes for it to soak in and then apply lotion,  it dries pretty quickly

**Q: is this water proof?**
A: No. During application process, right after putting it on I washed the dishes and a couple drops of water got on my arms so I had noticeable weird spots. After application it obviously fades everytime u expose your tanned parts with water.

**Q: Does this work better than fake bake flawless with the mitt? I have that one right now and it always comes off in the shower..**
A: Yes!! Much better! The lotion will fade some in the shower but you'll still have your base tan. Also, the lotion lasts way longer. When you are running low, you can cut the tube and have an extra application! 

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fake Bake Self Tanning Lotion
*by N***. on November 6, 2011*

Let me take you through my whole experience with this product so that you understand better its advantages and pitfalls. The tanner comes with an instruction booklet and gloves (and a little tray, but I don't know what that's for). If you are going to reuse these gloves, they will stretch, so it is a good idea to have an extra pair. As long as these are thin, comfortable-to-work-in gloves, they should work fine. The ones in the package are nitrile, but I used vinyl ones once the first pair stretched too much. When I first opened the bottle and squeezed a little bit of the lotion out, I thought I had a fake product, because it smelled to me like something someone would use in construction. It looked even worse. Despite this initial bewilderment, I went ahead and spread the product on my body. The dye allows you to see where you have applied the lotion and to help you spread it. It was very easy to spread (I used circular motions) and absorbed very well. Because of the dye, my skin looked dirty after the application. It is best to apply this lotion when you will not be doing anything involving water or sweat, as this will wash off the lotion before it has time to work with your skin. I sat at a computer for 30 minutes to let the lotion absorb, then put on pyjamas and went to bed. The dye in the lotion will rub off on your clothes, but it washes off without a problem. In the morning (I looked very strange) all of the dye came off in the shower and I came out and looked in the mirror. The tan was even, my skin - happy, and I was not a bit orange. The tan looked real. So yes, this lotion does give you an even, natural-looking tan. It lasts longer than other self-tanners (such as L'Oreal's). I did 2 applications and then did not upkeep for a while, which led to several spots on my body becoming patchy. I decided to apply again. Now - no patches. Because of the patches and its terrible smell/look, I would normally give a product a 4 (since a 5 is perfect). However, this product is cheap here on Amazon (I ordered from Cosmetic Solutions), so you get a self tanner that makes your skin feel good and, of course, gives you a fantastic tan that lasts several days. Therefore - 5!
