Review: One of the Best Self Tanners! You MUST READ and FOLLOW the Directions!! - 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!!
Review: A hopefully most helpful, cohesive review - When reviewing a self-tan product, I believe it's extremely important to introduce certain characteristics of the author in order for readers to determine whether the product should apply to them. Before I begin, I am 21 years old and extremely fair. As a child, I was decidedly ginger/strawberry blonde, so my skin WILL NOT tan - not then, not now. I've tried a lot of sunless tanners throughout my middle school/high school/collegiate struggle to be tan (or at least a normal, non-ghost shade). This ranges from L'Oreals Sublime Bronze lotions/sprays, to Model Co. products, to Xen Tan, and lots of other brands. As of now, this Fake Bake Flawless is my favorite self-tan product I've ever used. I'd argue that, when used properly, this is the best sunless tanner. The color guard in combination with the mitt makes sure I get every single square inch of my body, no streaks. It dried in minutes, and I was able to dress quickly. The liquid develops into a wonderful brown (not orange!) color, and it was even and believable. HOWEVER... it must be used properly :) There are a few reviews on here that have complaints about this product that I'm going to address here (mostly noting why they're silly complaints). The first major complaint is "bottle leakage" - the spray bottle that comes with the product is too long for the bottle. The natural solution I came up with was cutting down the straw to make it short enough to fit in the bottle and prevent leaks. CUT THE STRAW before you use and your Fake Bake won't leak! The second major complaint is about the application mitt. Some people say it leaves fuzzy stuff on them, some people say it should have velour on both sides, and some people think it won't last until the tanning product runs out. All of these are wrong. If you've shaved and don't press too hard, your mitt should NOT be leaving fuzzes on you. You're supposed to lightly buff the product on. If the mitt had velour on both sides, there would be risk for rubbing extra tanning solution in random places, most notably on your body where it can leave a streak. One of my biggest tips in using this product is WASH the mitt of all leftover tanning solution after each use. This will keep it in MUCH better shape. To get the brown, amazing results that most reviewers gush about for this product... it's not hard. Here are some steps to follow. Step 1: Shave and exfoliate with a Baiden mitten or a similar Turkish bath mitt. If you don't know what it is, promptly go purchase it and use it and be amazed. UPDATE 4/28/2014: Dry brushing thoroughly prior to entering the shower is also adequate exfoliation. Step 2: Take some scissors and snip off a bit more than an inch of the spray bottle attachment that came with the product, and put the modified attachment onto the bottle. This WILL prevent all leaking. Step 3: Rub body cream (I use Bliss Lemon & Sage body butter, the BEST cream EVER) into your elbows, knees, ankles, and knuckles. Let it dry. Step 4: Apply sunless solution as per the directions, using the gloves and the mitt, spraying on the mitt and then LIGHTLY buffing the color all over (it's probably best to put a tiny dab of body lotion on your knees and elbows and ankles). Step 5: This is my personal step that really helps me as an extremely pale person get a beautiful, even, brown tan. Everyone hates the tell-tale splotching on hands/feet that give away the fact that you're wearing a store bought tan. I highly recommend that every pale someone purchase a product called Xen Tan Blending Balm. Once you're done applying the tanner all over, including hands and feet, take your blending balm and go over your elbows, ankles, knuckles, sides of feet/hands, and wrists. I usually don't need Blending Balm on my knees when I use body butter. This will prevent the tan from developing into too-dark territory. UPDATE 7/25/2014: Xen Tan Blending Balm is almost impossible to find these days, but its first ingredient is petrolatum. Use some Vaseline instead if you can't find the Blending Balm. I also recommend using Smith's rosebud salve or any Badger balm. OVERALL... The Fake Bake Flawless system is fantastic. It's well-priced and delivers beautiful results (even for gingers), and beats the inconvenience associated with going to the spray tan place. When the correct measures are taken, it looks great for a long time. If you're looking for a deep, dark tropical tan, you'll need to apply it a few nights in a row. My advice is BUY THIS NOW. And then order some Xen Tan Blending Balm and a Baiden mitten (both very important!) OR as per update 7/25/2014 you can also use a dry brush pre-shower instead of a bath mitt and Vaseline/Smith's rosebud salve/Badger balm instead of blending balm. UPDATE: September 27, 2012 After finishing a whole bottle of Fake Bake, I'm happy to report that the velour mitten is still in tact. I'm adding this edit to emphasize how important it is to wash your mitten between uses. Washing the mitten also prevents leftover solution from becoming reactivated and leaving darker splotches in random places during application. Seriously yall, WASH YOUR MITTEN. UPDATE: December 13, 2013 Something I never mentioned in this review which I should have... The color guard is GREAT. It's gorgeous and brown. But... It will streak when it rains, and wash off in the shower, and rub off on your sheets. Which, to me, is whatever. It's fine. But it's just good to know and plan around! For instance... I opted to use Jergens the night before Carolina Cup a couple years back because I knew it would be rainy and I didn't want everyone and their momma noting how streaky my tan seemed to get in the drizzle. Anyways, just wanted to give this little update. Happy tanning :) UPDATE: April 28, 2014 Years later, I'm still obsessed with this tanning product :) However, like many people in the comments note, the product doesn't last as long as other sunless tanners without maintenence. Personally, I've found that this is a wonderful option when you need a light tan the day before a big event, such as a wedding or a horse race or a tailgate, and you don't have much time to devote to getting it perfect and you don't want to smell like you've been tanning. Fake Bake Flawless is also an ideal option for people who have never applied their own sunless tanner before, as it is basically idiot-proof. UPDATE: July 25, 2014 A whole 3 years later, after 2 Fake Bake Flawless kits, I still have both velour mitts. I always use them when I tan. I don't always use the Flawless system anymore, as it doesn't develop dark enough to my liking. My top two tanning products are Tanwise mousse via Sally Beauty and St. Moriz self tanning spray in dark, which you can find at Ulta. Both always applied with gloves and mitt, after exfoliation, with the Xen Tan blending balm. Keep in mind that these are MY favorites, but I've been self tanning for more than a decade. If you've never had success with a self tan product, buy the Fake Bake Flawless. Because of so many comments about how this product doesn't last, I'm going to recommend another option that I really love. For those of you who want a longer lasting tan, with a more difficult application, I recommend Tanwise Lotion or Mousse. The lotion stays on FOREVER. Tanwise is not a product for the faint of heart - it goes on VERY dark and stains your skin in streaks unless you blend QUICKLY. The other issue with the Tanwise is the bronzers WILL stain your hands, and the only way to get it off is with baking soda. I went to Charleston recently and applied this the morning of a very long day of bar crawling, and my arms were still tan at work a whole week later. You can find Tanwise products here on desertcart or at a Sally Beauty supply near you - but remember, they are NOT easy to apply correctly. The Fake Bake Flawless is still my absolute favorite product for a quick, easy, pretty, coconut-scented tan. I like to apply the Tanwise mousse with the gloves and mitt from my Fake Bake kit and it always works perfectly.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how soon should I apply? my prom is the 12th of april**
A: I would do a coat before bed on April 10th. Wash off the guide in the morning. Do another coat before bed on April 11th and wash off guide morning of April 12th. Make sure you moisturize with body butter or something thick the morning of the 12th to keep your skin nice and moisturized and hydrated. I'm very very pale so one coat is not enough for my liking. I always do two nights in a row for whole body and sometimes even third night just on my legs because they never seem to take color as good as rest of my body. Hope that helps. Oh also don't forget hands. After you're done with whole body, whatever is left on mitt run over top of hands and fingers.

**Q: Can you use it on your face?**
A: I use it on my face. I use this stuff two days In a row once a week. when I use this on my face I do my whole body first and what's ever left on the mit I blend in my face. but I only do it once a week. and make sure you scrub your face good so your pores don't turn dark. if it ever ends up to dark I use a lighter base make up. I also think they do a fake and Baker for your face too. never tried it.

**Q: 1st time use. I ended up w/dark circles here & there on my face. Can tell I applied a tanning product. How can I correct this/not happen again?**
A: For anyone using this on the face -- I use a tiny bit of CeraVe Moisturizing Cream (any non reacting cream will do, odorless one) put in my palm just a pea size. I break that up in a small circle, then I spray a small amount of the Fake Bake. I swoosh this around with a gloved finger tip to mix it all up then I apply on my face. like a moisturizer. Put in on your face like you would moisturizer and be quick but through but also don't rub it in roughly. Use light strokes try to remember your tanning where the sun would actually hit you, this isn't make up so if you are going to miss the hair line some if you're using the fake back mixed with moisturizer, it's not going to be so severe.. Good luck---from a fake baker of many years who always fake bakes a face as well.

**Q: Does it stain clothes and sheets?**
A: I haven't used this & gone to bed so don't know about sheets.  I've only used a 2 or 3 times.  I had on loose fitting clothing and did not put that on for at least a couple of hours.  The couple times that I used it, I took a shower and then put it on my legs without putting any lotion or anything.  The next day when I took a shower the water was kind of orange looking running off me when I first got in, so I don't trust ANYTHING until I see for myself.  Sorry I don't have a better answer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bahamas Tan in a Bottle
*by S***E on March 8, 2013*

Let's face it, we all feel better and look better with a little color to our skin! I think I've tried every sunless tanner on the shelves through the years. I'm a firm believer in skin protection while still having a nice sunkissed glow so I'm not one to use tanning beds or go out into the sun without sunscreen on. I also have a few tattoos that I care to keep looking nice, especially because I've invested so much money into them. I've bought everything from cheap lotion to expensive gels and even used aerosol spray tanners and gotten Mystic Tans. I was looking for an alternative to the sticky feeling of a lotion/gel and something that *hopefully* wouldn't have that stinky sunless tanner smell that instantly screams "I USE SUNLESS TANNER" to everyone standing within a "sniffing" distance from you. I read numerous reviews for different products and decided that Fake Bake Flawless was worth trying. I read reviews that said the bottle leaked when using the spray pump and it was suggested to cut the pump tube down a little bit so it fits into the bottle. I did this as soon as I received the product and the bottle didn't leak at all during my first application last night. After exfoliating in the shower really well (use a shower gel that has beads or granules in it to help remove dead skin) and shaving, I got out of the shower and dried off. I then put a light coat of lotion on my knees, ankles, tops and sides of both feet, wrists (inner and outer), elbows (inner and outer) and around my armpits. I've had problems in the past with sunless tanner streaking or looking muddy in those areas. After the lotion soaked in I put on the latex gloves that come with the kit, then put on the microfiber mit. The directions say to spray the mitt with the sunless tanner and then apply but I found that the mit absorbs a lot of it before it reaches your skin, so it's easiest to spray it directly onto your skin instead and then rub it in from there. BE SURE TO LAY A TOWEL DOWN WHERE YOU WILL BE DOING THE SUNLESS TANNING. No matter how close to your skin you get with the bottle, some mist will get onto the floor or rug and if you don't wipe it up quick enough, it might leave a slight stain. I did this in my bathroom and just put an old bath towel down on the floor. I started with my legs and sprayed a few sprays up and down the front, back, and sides of my legs. With the microfiber mit I worked the liquid into my skin by using a circular motion and sparingly spreading it down over to the tops and sides of my feet. I used a patting/dabbing technique to apply a small amount of liquid to my hands and feet and it seemed to work great. I then did my torso, rear end, back, chest, and then finished with my shoulders/shoulder blades, neck (blending it up to under my chin), and arms (front and back). I chose not to use it on my face since I have a lotion-based sunless tanner designed specifically for faces that I use. The mit is very soft and easy to use, but beware--I had some fuzzies come off and get onto my skin. I think this is just because it's the first time I used it. As a side note: make sure to wash your mit out with warm water and soap after you use it. I threw mine in the dryer on high heat for about 10 minutes and it came out clean and fuzz-free. The liquid rubs on smoothly and due to its chocolate color, you can tell exactly where you've already applied it. It has a great coconut smell and dries quickly so you're not standing around waiting for it to soak in and feeling sticky. I put my pajamas on shortly after applying Fake Bake and my skin felt soft and had instant color. I went to bed and slept comfortably throughout the night and in the morning there were no stains on my sheets. My skin looks fabulous and I have a Bahamas-esque tan that isn't orange or fake looking in the least! No streaking, blotching, or uneven areas to be found. The best part? NO SUNLESS TANNER SMELL! It never once smelled like the typical sunless tanners (I liken it to rotten fruit), instead the pleasant coconut smell went away throughout the night and I was left with a great tan and no smell whatsoever. I highly recommend this product. It's easy to use (only took me about 8 minutes total to apply) and the results are like nothing I've ever gotten before from other sunless tanners. If you're hesitant about trying a non-lotion tanner like I was, this is well worth the chance. I couldn't be happier and plan on using it much more in the future, especially as the weather gets warmer :)
