How to apply Fake Bake

Our FakeBake self tanning products are recommended by dermatologists. However, if you have sensitive skin or questions about using our self tanning products, we recommend that you test the product on a small area of your body. Let it set for a few hours and discontinue use if signs of irritation or rash appears. Common sense dictates to avoid contact with the eyes, do not apply to broken or inflamed skin . For external use only so do not swallow and of course, keep out of reach of children.

Exfoliate
Jump in the shower and get ready to prepare your skin for the ultimate self tanning experience ! Begin by using Fake Bake's passion fruit Body Polish . This is a soapless product which will leave no residue on the skin. This is important as residue can affect the outcome of your tan.

Pay particular attention to the feet, knees and elbows and you'll be left with the softest, smoothest skin which is the perfect starting point for the Fake Bake ™ experience!

A little Skin Smoothie...
After you have exfoliated, apply a little Skin Smoothie to the very dry areas such as your knees, elbows, heels and feet. This will help emulisfy Fake Bake and "smooth" out the tanner for a more professional finish.

Fake Bake has moisturisers already built in but if your skin is really dry, we would recommend using our Oil Free Moisturiser under the tan. Please do not use a moisturiser containing oil as this can prohibit the tanning agents from working correctly and may affect the outcome of your tan.

Apply Fake Bake

Using the gloves provided *, apply Fake Bake self tanning cream starting from the feet up working in small circular motions. You might want to enlist help when applying to your upper back. The dark brown colour guide in Fake Bake shows where it goes, its easy to spot if you missed a bit.....

Remember a little goes a long way! Lightly glaze Fake Bake over the ankles and knees. If you find that you have dry patches here, lightly spray some Skin Smoothie Oil on the areas affected - this will emulsify the Fake Bake and give a more even application. If your skin is very dry, please use the Oil Free Moisturiser, developed to go under our Self Tanning cream, Extreme Gel and self tanning mousse.

When you are working down the arms, at this point, again, you can lightly spray the Skin Smoothie oil onto the hands, elbows if you have drier areas here.

FACE : - Apply the product full strength to the face. Rub well into the hair line. You might like to use a cosmetic sponge for more control of the product.

HANDS : - Great Tip! Spray a little Skin Smoothie on them but do them last . Using whatever residue is left on your gloves, peel one glove back and spread the fingers wide and bend at the knuckles. (A bit like a claw!) Then lightly glaze over the hand. Wait til dry, then put the glove back on and tan the other hand.

Allow the product to dry for 15-20 mins (unless you are applying the mousse or gel which will dry very quickly)before you put your loose clothes back on. We recommend that you sleep in the product or leave it on for at least four hours before showering.

Once the product has developed you will notice that you are notably darker than when you first started. This is because your Fake Bake tan has developed underneath the colour guide. Shower the colour guide of thoroughly using warm water and a terry towelling flannel to reveal your sunless tan. The water will turn a muddy colour but don't worry - you are not washing off your Fake Bake tan, only the colour guide. It's important that the colour guide is washed off meticulously!

If you have low levels of melanin in your skin, you will develop a lighter tan than someone with high levels (eg: olive skin toned) If you wish to be darker, simply build up your tan as you would a real tan by applying Fake Bake over the next few nights until you are happy with the depth of colour - but skip the exfoliation step.

Maintain your Fake Bake tan

Take care of your Fake Bake tan much as you would a real tan and your tan will last longer. In the morning, after you've showered off the colour guide, lock your new Fake Bake tan deep into your skin with Skin Smoothie Oil, Oil Free Moisturiser, Tan Enhancing Lotion or one of our wonderful Body Butters.

Enhance your skin too with our tinted Body Glow and bronzing powders then complete the look with Babe Tools, our range of makeup designed for tanned skin.

Is Fake Bake suitable for everyone?

Our self tanning products are recommended by dermatologists. However, if you have sensitive skin or questions about using our self tanning products, we recommend that you test the product on a small area of your body. Let is set for a few hours and discontinue use if signs of irritation or rash appears. Common sense dictates to avoid contact with the eyes, its for external use only so do not swallow and of course, keep out of reach of children.

Is Fake Bake safe to use in pregnancy?

Fake Bake only comes in to contact with the upper most layers of the epidermis (skin) and does not penetrate into the blood stream whatsoever, therefore, yes it is safe to use during pregnancy. However we would also have you take note, that you should always perform the patch test to check for sensitivity as when you are pregnant, your hair and skin may not behave the way it used to and you may find that you are sensitive to products you used when you were not pregnant.

How long does Fake Bake cream take to dry?

Because the level of moisture in each skin type varies, drying time will also vary slightly. In general, we have found that 20 minutes is sufficient time for the cream product to dry. Many choose to apply the product several hours before going to bed to ensure that the product has dried completely. If you are using the mousse or the Extreme Gel however, you'll find that these products dry within seconds so you do need to owkr faster when applying those ones.

How long does Fake Bake last?

This is one of our favorite questions! We boast that our product needs to be applied on the average of only once or twice a week. Of course, you will determine your own maintenance schedule. Remember, you are in control, you can deepen your tan simply by applying more coats of the product.

Can I use Fake Bake in the sun or with sunbeds?

In our marketing research we discovered that the use of our product with the sun or with a sun bed actually accelerates the tanning process. Stimulating the dark pigment of the skin, known as Melanin, accelerates any form of sun tanning. Those who wish to combine our product with an additional sun tanning regimen will see quicker and more satisfying results than ever before. For this reason, many Suntan Salons carry our products to use with sun beds as a Melanin Accelerator to promote tanning. Our product is also ideal for those who cover their face during tanning or who have trouble tanning the sides of their bodies or other problem areas. NOTE: We do recommend the use of SPF or sun block when engaging in any form of sun tanning.

Does Fake Bake contain sunscreens or SPF?

Our laboratory specialists recommended that we did not add any of the above to our product. So many of our customers want different degrees of sunscreens or sun blocks that it would be impossible to satisfy all of them. We recommend that you use the sunscreen best suited to your skin type.

Does Fake Bake use animal testing?

No. We use no animal testing because our product contains no harmful ingredients that would have required extensive animal testing.
