A hopefully most helpful, cohesive review
By Glynis Ewing
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

3. 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. If you don't know what it is, promptly go
purchase it and use it and be amazed.
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: 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 4: 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, knees, ankles, knuckles, sides
of feet/hands, and wrists. This will prevent the tan from developing into too-dark territory.
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!).
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.

After YEARS of searching I've finally found the PERFECT self-tanner!
By Sarah
I used to use tanning beds to achieve my tan until one day I noticed a weird spot on my back and
found out it was basal cell carcinoma. So now tanning beds are out and sunscreen is a must, but I
missed having my glow. I began just trying any and every self-tanner that I could get my hands
on, but I wasn't completely satisfied with anything until I tried Fake Bake Flawless. It really has
everything you hope for in a self-tanner. It really truly smells the best of anything I've ever used
(my boyfriend approves). The gloves and the mitt ensure that you wont get stained hands or

4. streaks from application. The formula dries so quickly and you don't have to waste time waiting
for it dry. It has a tint to show where you've applied it. The color is very flattering and natural
looking, I think I almost gave my dermatologist a heart attack when I went in for a check up! He
was like, "so how's the tanning going" and I just smiled and said, "oh, this is fake", so it even
fooled a dermatologist! I also love the way this one fades off very evenly to, which has been a
problem with others that I have tried. I haven't ever written one of these reviews for a product
until now but I'm just so happy with this and I know how frustrating the hunt for the perfect
tanner can be so I hope this helps someone else and saves them a lot of time and money spent!

(Former) Pale Princess
By AdrienneKampman
UPDATE: I have gotten my Mom to get this, who is even more pale than I am and she LOVES it
and swears by it. She gets a very natural color as well.
***
Let me just start off by saying that I am Polish, Finnish, and Irish. We are a pale, stout people
meant to live in cold, dark places. Thusly, no matter what I do I cannot get a tan; I burn, or turn a
sort of odd orangish color. It's really quite terrible. I digress.
I decided to test drive this product this summer, before I go to Hawaii in the winter, to give
myself time to find a good fake tan. I have found it!!!!
I started by using it on my legs only, just in case it went badly. I followed directions and
exfoliated quite well, shaved etc. I just used a rough washcloth and rubbed the heck out of my
legs, knees and feet until I was smooth and clean. After making sure my skin was completely
dry, I rubbed a small dab on Vitamin E Oil on my knee area and rubbed it in well, just to make
sure they weren't too dry. Then, I applied the product. I followed the directions of going lightly
over knees and ankles, making sure they were extended so it wasn't wrinkley, etc. The rest of it is
pretty much self explanatory. The mitt worked well for me and was a nice touch. Also, I'm pretty
sure this bottle will last me a LONG time. At least a few months of solid use, but perhaps even
more!
Pros:
1. It smells nice in the bottle. Sort of floral/tropical.
2. It has NO fake tan smell on your skin. I was expecting it and was ok with it if I tanned well,
but I am both tan and NOT SMELLY!
3. The color guide really does help you see where it went, and also looks passable as a tan until
your tan develops.
4. It dries quickly after you apply it so you don't have to stand around nekkid forever.
5. My tan looks nice. I went to bed, woke up and rinsed off my legs in the shower and that was it.
So easy!
Cons:
1. The spray part of my bottle was a little drippy so I had to keep wiping up little drips from my
floor.

5. Really, that was it!
So anyways, I wholeheartedly recommend this product. I will be buying more soon to stock up!
