Review: From Snow White to Snooki - Okay, are you not the most gifted with your hands, and worry you'll mess up bad trying to apply this stuff? Well, that's me, so read this review! I am naturally really pale. Some people have called me the most pale person ever (not exactly true - Nicole Kidman is way more pale than me), but I have been on a fitness craze lately, and wanted to get extra fit and tan. The last time I tried to use self tanning lotion was when I was like 12 years old by buying some stuff at the drug store, and I messed up royally. I had orange splotches all over me and it was a nightmare. #1 rule - patience! You just can't rush this. If you do, you WILL turn out splotchy. Probably not orange, but you will look funny. Fake Bake is AWESOME and will give you an authentic looking tan, but you have to follow the instructions carefully and be patient. First, exfoliate. I highly recommend Fake Bake Body Polish . I used this the second time around, and I felt like it was way more effective than the original exfoliator I had from the drug store. It really rubs off the dead skin cells and I love the aloe vera in it. The smell is also awesome! When you exfoliate, take your time. Use small, circular motions with a loofah, brush, or gloves. I prefer a brush. After you exfoliate and are all clean and ready to tan, you can either a) apply some lotion and rest for about thirty minutes before starting, or b) start applying Fake Bake right away. I've tried both methods, and personally prefer just putting it on right away. I actually received Fake Bake Skin Smoothie by mistake, and decided what the heck, might as well use it. You're supposed to spray it on the "difficult" areas, like your hands, feet, elbows, and knees, and then towel dry. Somehow, this is supposed to make it easier to keep the lotion applied evenly in those places. I haven't tried it without it, but I will note that I have had no issues on those areas, except for my hands (which I'll get to later). I would recommend (and so does Fake Bake) putting this on at night shortly before bed. Wear dark clothes and try to lie down on dark sheets. It will stain everything you touch, but it comes out. It takes about 4-6 hours to totally soak in, and it's most effective when your body is resting and inactive. In the morning, you can just take a shower and go on your business. Before you starting fake baking yourself, make sure to pull your hair up and put on the gloves they sent you. The lotion comes out DARK. Don't worry, it won't be so ridiculously dark in the morning. If you want to be really tan, apply more than you think you should apply. Be generous with it! Rub in small, circular motions like you would if exfoliating, and rub it in WELL. That's what the color guide is for. Rub in each area for about twenty seconds, and then rub it in a little bit more. It should be rubbed in very well so that it's not streaky in the morning. HOW LONG WILL ONE BOTTLE LAST? I really wanted the answer to this question before purchasing, and couldn't find it. So, here's my opinion. The first time I covered my entire body, and maybe a little more than 50% was gone. The second and third night I focused on only my legs, feet, chest, face, arms, and hands, and there is still a bit left in the bottle. If you're trying to cut costs by using as little as possible, do this by only applying it to "visible" areas, unless you have a real reason not to. After the first night, I woke up and took a shower. I definitely had more of a tan, but it was slight. No one really noticed. I did it again the second night (but only on those "key" areas), and the next day I went to school and got a ton of comments like, "Did you go to Hawaii or something over the weekend??" One person was shocked that it was from out of a bottle, and said it looked really natural. I was so excited! I applied a little bit more than night, and the tan lasted for about 9 days. Not too shabby. Once you get into a ritual, it's easy. I had some issues though, considering I'm a klutz and not super coordinated. I had a REALLY difficult time with my wrists and hands. Since they stress the importance of using gloves and their only hint at applying to your hands is "streak lightly," I looked kind of stupid the first day. It was streaky and I had to wear a lot of bracelets to cover it up. So, I developed a little strategy over time that has worked ever since. Once I'm finished and ready for my hands, I take off the gloves and put maybe a quarter size of Fake Bake on my right palm and rub it all over my hands and wrists. Watch out for the wrists too - rub them generously and well! If I accidentally use too much, I just rub it up further on my arms. I let it sit like that for a few minutes before lightly rinsing off my hands and scrubbing my palms so that it doesn't look like shoe shine. That has worked for me ever since. This can also be applied to your feet. Anyway, I now love looking like the native Floridian that I am! This is a cheap, effective, easy alternative to getting a spray tan. While it sounds time-consuming and sort of annoying - trust me, it'll just become ritual after awhile, and you'll look and feel great!
Review: Fake Bake Self Tanning Lotion - 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 desertcart (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!

## 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! 

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This makes a Snowhite look like she came from the Equator!
*by K***. on March 23, 2006*

This is my Holy Grail of self tanners, and I think I've tried tons form the cheapest to ones priced such as this one, and no other brand and formula can come close to this! I have been using Fake Bake one for about 5 years now, and I will never dream of stopping. There are a few things I do now, part of my self tanning ritual that are simple enough to continue for years. For best results I shower and scrub my whole body, with some grainy and even oily scrub, then shave, I also scrub my face with face scrub, then I use body wash and dry the skin at the end. Next I put on some light body lotion all over as well as my face lotion on the face. After about 30 minutes when the lotion sinks in ( don't use anything greasy, except for something heavier on knees and elbows, self tanner seems to accumulate on that drier and tougher skin) a I either wear plastic gloves if I have them( from hair color kits or cosmetic stores)or I use bare hands ( and I scrub and wash them about 3 times when the whole body is done - the hands will be mahogany brown!!) and apply this lotion in circular motion, from feet up. I rub it in really well, and this stuff comes out BROWN. You will look like something form another planet once you are done, but that is the color guide that tells you if you missed any spots, Better to see them now than in the morning! I also put it in the face, then I get dressed in pajamas, after waiting fro like30 minutes while I relax. I wear dark pajamas only, because this will rub off on the clothes, and I make sure I wash the sheets the next day, they will stain a bit, but it always comes out in the wash, no worries, just don't use your special 1000 thread count crisp white sheets, better safe than sorry. I always do this before bed, theres not way you can walk out in this, its so dark on!! The next day when you wake up the color is a wee dark, but once I shower, the remaining color guide washes off and I look like I just came form a tropical get away. This stuff makes you look like a trillion bucks, and I love it!! I put a dab on my face almost every night, to even out my complexion, I am really white and pale and this really makes me glow, not much makeup is necessary after this self tanner. So give it a try, it's a bit of a job at first, but I have been using it for so long, that I will always be worth the price and effort, I simply love the outcome!! I also always get complements on my skin after I use this, like suddenly I'm skinny and tan, wowweee.
