I have vitiligo and have used just about every self tanner available over the years. Fake bake goes on without streaks and blends in perfect with fair skin. For vitiligo use it and then use a q tip to frenkle any pigment color differences . You will be amazed how it blends. Sometimes i forget i have vitiligo. No orange finally.

THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST SELF TAN LOTION I HAVE USED. I HAVE TRIED NEUTROGENA AND LOREAL. IT ALWAYS TAKES A FEW CONSECUTIVE DAYS OF APPLICATION TO ACHEIVE A LIGHT TAN. I COULD NEVER GET A MDEIUM TAN FROM IT AND THE COLOR LOOKED ARTIFICLE. ONE APPLICATION OF FAKE BAKE AND I HAD A NICE COLORED TAN IMMEDIATELY.IT WAS EASY TO APPLY AND DID NOT DARKEN MORE IN COLOR OVER MY KNEES.I HAVE ONLY USED THIS PRODUCT ON MY LEGS. THIS STUFF IS REALLY GOOD. FOR BEST RESULTS DON'T SHOWER FOR 24 HOURS OTHERWISE SOME OF IT WILL WASH OFF.

Like many of us, I used to be an obsessive Sunbed user (especially during summer), but for a few years now I’ve started to notice the effects on my skin – And not wanting to look like an old leather couch when I got older I started to look for an alternative. After reading about FakeBake in my doctors waiting room (before getting yet another lecture about the hazards of Sunbeds) I thought I’d give it a go. I exfoliated for 2 days as per the instructions and decided I'd sleep in it. When it went on it was very dark, but I rubbed and rubbed and soon the colour wasn't that bad. I did, however, really struggle sleeping while feeling all sticky and the smell was absolutely awful. Still; “No pain no gain”, so I struggled to sleep in the knowledge I’d look great by morning. Unfortunately as morning came and I hopped in the shower I could see my tan running off down the plug hole! Ahhh. That’s not suppose to happen! The following night I tried again (The Sunbed would never take this long!). In the morning I was more tanned, but I’d had another shocking nights’ sleep. All in all not a successful a process - That said, after all the faffing, I did like the effect and I think my doctor will too ;-)

Like many people, I was an avid Sunbed user (although only through summer) for about 15 years, and as I was beginning to notice the effects on my skin, felt it time I tried another alternative. After browsing the web, I found the good reviews for Fake Bake, and so thought I'd give it a go. Anyway, received quickly, I exfoliated for two days in a row and after reading the instructions, decided I'd put it on at night and sleep in it. It went on dark, but I rubbed it in well with circular motions and so the colour wasn't too bad. However, I really struggled with getting into bed feeling all sticky and gloopy! and the smell is quite bad! I totally agree that there isn't a self tan that doesn't smell, but was a bit surprised as alot of the reviews I had read, stated it didn't. Even after washing it off I can still smell it on my skin. Anyway, as a result I actually didn't sleep very well, but hoped it'd be worth it. Got up and washed it off in the morning, and it almost all went down the plug hole, needless to say I was rather disappointed! As it was sunday and I wasn't going anywhere, I re-applied it and wore old clothes all day. Again, come the evening I washed it off, only to see most of it go down the plug hole. I do have a slight color, but not as noticable as I would have liked. I have come to the conclusion that I am not applying anough. Most people say they look like a mud monster, but I didn't, I just had a nice dark color (infact I quite liked it lol) Maybe thats where I am going wrong? I also struggled a bit with hands and feet, applying it so it looked realistic. Also it clings to any dry patches you may have quite badly. I didn't buy the Fake bake oil or cream as I didn't want to waste money before trying the tan incase I really couldn't get on with it, but I think I might have to. I put it on my face also, and didn't like it all. It showed up every pore and flaw! so have bought the face one and am going to try that instead when it arrives. So, what is my conclusion after my first use? its ok, but I think applying fake tan takes practice. I like the fact that there are no streaks, I may not have much of a colour but it certainly is even, which is great, especially for a beginner. Not orange either which again is great. I haven't really tried any other fake tans so can't compare, but as my expectations of fake tans go, I am relatively happy with it and intend to persevere a few more times. Experimenting with amount and application etc not sure how I'll combat sleeping in it as I really didn't like that, but again, maybe I just need to get used to it, or maybe I can find another way that works for me. Its got to be worth it to save any more damage to my skin, right? (is hoping I don't crumble and just go back to the tanning salon lol) I'd be really grateful if anyone has any tips or tricks to help me? my email address is [email protected]. Buy it and give it a go!

Fake Bake Recall - I was talking yesterday about how id been giving Vita Liberata Rich silken chocolate from boots after taking bake my Fake Bake tan after the product had a recall and how they brought me out in itchy spots.

Well I tried Vita Liberata's Rich tanning product and i have to say OH MY WORD, it is AMAZING, i put it on last night with a tan mitt, and it was so easy, had a real nice guide colour, very nice on the skin moisturizing and tried in a few minutes. It has absolutely no smell and a little went a long way. I washed this morning and i have the most amazing natural looking tan, i cannot believe it.

check out there website vitaliberata.co.uk and see how they have such a large celeb following.

Fake Bake recall from boots, for not meeting quality standards. Fake bake brought me out in spots... and made my skin itch... also the smell though it is quite pleasant is very strong, and not very discrete. I applied the tanning solution to my skin a few days ago, and after a few hours of developing, my skin started to develop little spots and it became very itchy. I had to scrub my skin just to get the soolution off my skin and to get rid of the smell. the spots and the itching lasted for a few days but eventually went away.

I have been using fake tanning products for years now and this is the worse tan i have ever used and will never use again. After i had returned my product to Boots, one of the girls recommended a more natural organic looking tan called Vita liberata Rich silken chocolate. The girl tried a patch on my skin and instantly i was sold, it was such an amazing colour so soft and best of all no smell.... i am going to try this tan tonight so i will let you know how it goes.

Fake Bake is a fab self tanning product and I've used a few. I'd stick to the original self tanning lotion - and I buy from www.beauty21.co.uk for just £19.99 - the best price around that I can find.
