The Fake Bake 60 Minutes Self Tan Liquid* has a colour guide so you can see where you've applied it. Almost instantly, you start to look golden and bronzed. After just 60 minutes, the guide colour has developed into a beautiful golden glow that looks natural, streak-free and best of all, doesn't have that nasty fake tan smell. If you're after a deeper colour then all you have to do is simply leave the tan on for longer - Fake Bake recommend leaving the tan on for no longer than three hours. In the picture above, I'd left the tan on for the full three hours and you can see just how dramatic the difference in. In the first picture, I'm practically a ghost and in the second picture, I look like I've just stepped off of the plane from somewhere exotic - words from my sister, not me!
This fake tan is the easiest that I've ever used and it comes with its own applicator mitt and gloves. The applicator mitt has two ends - one for applying the tan and the other for buffing it in to achieve a flawless, airbrushed look. Both of them work very well together and I'm happy to report that I didn't have one streak over my entire body. The fake tan itself is very easy to use as it comes in a spray bottle which I either spray directly onto my skin or onto the mitt. The spray bottle means that it's easy to use the same amount of tan on each body part. With pour-y out bottles I usually find that one leg ends up looking browner than the other because I've poured out more tan on one leg than the other - not good. I also found that this didn't sit in any dry patches and simply glided over my ankles, knees and elbows (which are usually the parts of my body that end up looking like an orange mess).
The tan so far has faded nice and evenly. I've been exfoliating every other day to ensure that I don't end up with streaky legs or arms and so far so good. Obviously the tan isn't as intense as it was last week but there still aren't any patches or streaks. Another thing that I noticed about this tan is that it never smelt like biscuits - I'm not sure how it did it or whether I was far too hungover to smell it but I never got the nasty smell that most fake tans give off.
Overall, I really cannot sing the praises of this fake tan enough. It's easy to apply, develops quickly, creates the colour I want, doesn't streak, fades well and it's reasonably priced. I think I've found "the one." Have you tried this fake tan before? What do you think of it? You can buy it here for £21.95.
