Fake Bake Flawless Self-Tanning Liquid Streak-Free, Long-Lasting Natural Glow For All Skin Tones - Sunless Tanner Includes Professional Mitt For Easy Application, Black Coconut Scent - 6 oz

This stuff is the best self tanner available hands down! Due to turning 39 and the effects of tanning becoming more noticeable on my face and chest at an ever increasing speed, every year I spend a few hundred dollars buying all the number one, two and three top brands on the review lists. It seems like I have tried this brand before but it wasn't a spray, maybe a lotion? I always just end up with a cabinet full of useless, smelly lotions, mousse and sprays and end up back in the tanning bed. That will not be the case this year. This product gave me a better looking, darker color than tanning everyday. I have my own tanning bed at home and I'm afraid I'll just be using it to flat dry my sweaters from now on. After reading some more reviews I find out I can even make it better with blending balm I ordered it right away. I didn't buy anything extra (ie...blending balm, shimmer something, body polish for exfoliating) just what comes with the kit. I put regular Gold Bond Ultimate lotion on my hands, feet, elbows and knees and I wasn't stingy with it. I just used regular soap in the shower with a loofa. For sure use the gloves under the mitt because it dries fast and you won't be able to wash it off in time. It was easy to put on thanks to the guide color. It does not smell bad like every other one I've tried. I put 3 or 4 sprays on the mitt at first and then of course thought if 3-4 looks that good then 4-5 will be great. Nope....I have one tiny area that is a little darker where I first pit the mitt down but it is totally my fault. Everything else looks 100 times better. It is a nice golden brown, even coverage and super easy and fast. I did not think about the spot on my back that I can't reach before hand so I had to improvize a little and even with the delay of trying to rig something up it came out even. Without a tan my skin is pretty fair, kinda blotchy red for the most part and now I look like I have tanned for at least a month and I only used this one time. I can't wait to get a second application on and see how it looks. I can't imagine it being any better than it is right now. If anything changes with the wear and tear of day to day living I will be back with an update. Sorry this is so long I just want everyone to be as happy and relieved to finally find something worth the time and money.

This is great stuff!! IF You READ and FOLLOW the directions it will not streak and will last a good week. Before applying, make sure to shower and exfoliate at NIGHT, preferably right before bedtime. (If you do this in the morning or daytime it does not have time to set properly!!) If you shave your legs beforehand make sure to rinse, your whole body and especially your shaved legs, with COLD water at the end of your shower. This will close your pores and you won't get brown discoloration spots at your shaving sites. Apply it with the mitt right after your shower and it will apply much smoother as your skin is softer and more supple. Just like applying body lotion after you shower, it soaks in easier. It's quick drying so you don't have to wait but a few minutes before putting on your pjs. I do my legs last and find that my top half is dry by the time I finish with my legs. I throw on my top and wait a few minutes to put on my shorts or bottoms. That's it! It doesn't stain my sheets and there is only a little discoloration on the back neck of my top in the morning. Also, I do NOT shower the next morning but wait until that evening or even the following morning. This will really help set the application and make the color last. People's reviews that complain it sucks aren't following the directions. I cannot stress enough to READ and FOLLOW the directions! If you apply this in the morning or during the daytime it will come off and streak as you wash your hands or splash water on any treated areas of your skin! Also, don't use your body scrubby between applications, use shower gel or soap only. This may sound like it's a pain to use, it's really not. It really works, looks natural and lasts IF you READ and FOLLOW the directions! I will be using this all summer long! Highly recommended!!

I have tried Fake Bake self-tanner for years. I am naturally pale , and I am beyond impressed with the results! This product is truly deserving of a 5-star rating for several reasons. First and foremost, the application process was a breeze. The smooth consistency of the tanner made it easy to apply evenly, avoiding streaks or blotches. I appreciated how quickly it dried, allowing me to get dressed without worrying about staining my clothes. The color payoff is fantastic! It provided a natural-looking tan that wasn't too orange or artificial. It gave me a healthy glow that lasted for days without fading unevenly. It has a green undertone but when you wash it off it looks gorgeous. I also love that Fake Bake doesn't have that strong, unpleasant self-tanner smell. Instead, it has a subtle, pleasant fragrance that dissipates quickly. Another standout feature is its long-lasting formula. With regular moisturizing, my tan lasted for over a week, gradually fading without any patchiness. Overall, I highly recommend Fake Bake to anyone looking for a reliable self-tanner that delivers beautiful, natural results. It's now a staple in my beauty routine, and I can't wait to purchase it again!
