Everyone wants a dark suntan, especially in the summertime. However, with all the risks associated with sunbathing and the use of tanning beds, it is necessary to make a decision. Thankfully, that decision does not come down to giving up a gorgeous tan in favor of good health.
While there are many brands of self-tanners on the market, a company called Fake Bake has developed an outstanding product line known for tans that look anything but fake. Loaded with botanical extracts and free of preservatives, these sunless tanners are actually good for your skin. They are organically based, contain nothing harmful and offer moisturizing hydration for the skin without clogging the pores.
Best of all, unlike the self tanning products from a few years ago, the current formulas rarely produce that strange orange or yellow color and streaks. In fact, the Fake Bake line guarantees their product results to be free of streaks and orange colored skin. They also promise that the tanners will not have a bad odor and will not stain the clothes. All of those issues we used to worry about have been eliminated.
For a perfect tan, the manufacturer recommends a three step process:
Step 1 - Use a "body polish" to prepare the skin for a perfect tan. This serves to exfoliate the skin leaving it smooth and soft.
Step 2 - Apply your favorite Fake Bake tanning product based on your preference. Application is easy and initial color is included so you can be sure to apply evenly.
Step 3 - "Lock in" your tan as well as extra moisture with a dry oil spray.
Fake Bake tans generally last longer than competing brands and maintenance is easily accomplished with reapplication just once or twice each week.
As with most sunless tanning formulas, you'll still need to use your favorite sunscreen or sun block with your sunless tan. Self tanners simply make your skin beautiful in a safe manner - they do not offer sunscreen protection.
Sunless tanners have come along way from their early beginnings. If you tried self tanning years ago with not-so-good results, it's time to take a second look...you will love the results!
