Comments about Fake Bake Fair Lotion Self Tan:
So I didn't want a TAN- I don't get tan, I am too fair. I am soooo pale, I just wanted my legs to match my arms (which get enuf sun to have freckles and thus a slight "tan" appearance)and to wear something short without being shockingly pasty white. If I use this once a week, it takes the edge off the pasty, looks totally natural. If I use it 2x a week I approach a tan (for me) and it still looks natural. Go for it super pale ladies!!

Comments about Fake Bake Fair Lotion Self Tan:
Great product for Fair Skin - gradual tan building. Color looks completely natural - the smell is pretty strong - but apply it at night while sleeping - wash off in the morning. Color lasts 3-4 days. Great product!

Comments about Fake Bake Fair Lotion Self Tan:
The best thing about this product is the scent- it smells like vanilla! The color looks nice until you wash it off. It does not last whatsoever, I've tried putting it on two days in a row to get a better lasting color, and ended up with a really uneven tan.

Comments about Fake Bake Fair Lotion Self Tan:
The somewhat foulf odor expected with slef tanners is not present, it fries very quickly, and they provide you with gloves and instructions to apply in a circular motion. Just as good as an airbrush for 60.00

Comments about Fake Bake Fair Lotion Self Tan:
I read about Fake Bake on another website where it got rave reviews for a non-streak, easy-to-apply, non-orange, bronzy tan. I was going to order it, but stopped in at my local Ulta. Whew, I didn't know there were soooo many varieties of Fake Bake. The customer service person was very helpful. Since I have fair skin and didn't want a super dark, leathery look, the customer service person suggested the Fake Bake Fair. Well, all I can say, "It Is Perfect!" I followed the directions to a "T"...exfoliated, no lotions. The kit comes with gloves, which is a great advantage. I started with a little amount, and it went a long way on my skin. The lotion is tinged/colored a nice bronze so you know where you are applying it. I just rubbed in circles and in an up and down movement until the lotion had disappeared into my skin. Don't know about other people, but this Fake Bake smells like chocolate!!! Yum!!! I applied a very light amount to my feet, which worked out well. As for my hands, I took a cotton pad, like you use to apply toner to your face, and put just a small amount on the pad and then rubbed it into the tops of my hands keeping my knuckles bent so the lotion would not get into the creases. Finally, Fake Bake doesn't recommend this, but the spray tanning place I went to before using this product had me put a little baby powder behind my knees, in the crook/bend of the elbows, and under your arm pits. I did this again after applying the Fake Bake. This prevents any sticking, sweating, or getting any unevenness. I also wore loose fitting scrub pants and a loose fitting long sleeve top (that's what the srpay tanning salon recommends, too) After 12 hours, I had a nice light tan/bronze. NO ORANGE!!! NO MISTAKES!!! NO GOOF-UPS!!! Two days later I applied Fake Bake again. With 2 applications in 1 week, I'm really dark enough for my desires. I can't find anything bad about this product. This is a real keeper for me and will continue to use it through the summer. Much cheaper than going to the spray tan place with no worries of getting chemicals up your nose (referencing recent news articles about spray tans).

Comments about Fake Bake Fair Lotion Self Tan:
I am very fair skinned and used the 'Regular' and it was too dark. This is PERFECT for my lighter skin. I also noticed it doubled as a moisturizer as well.

Comments about Fake Bake Fair Lotion Self Tan:
I've tried many self-tanners, and this is one of the best. I use it every other day to maintain a shorts-worthy tan. It's expensive initially, but it only takes a small amount and goes a long way. Be sure to use gloves or a mitt; you'll be sorry if you don't.

Comments about Fake Bake Fair Lotion Self Tan:
Fake Bake is great. I have the body and face products for fair skin and they are both the perfect amount of color. I'm an Irish girl and the tan you get from Fake Bake still looks natural. You don't need a lot and you don't have to use it every day. So much better than damaging your skin in the sun or at a tanning salon. Use the Ulta mitt for application and you are done in no time.

Comments about Fake Bake Fair Lotion Self Tan:
I purchased this because I am very fair and needed subtle, natural color. I really liked the first application but when I used it a day later to boost my tan I noticed it had faded unevenly and the second application only made the uneven color more noticeable.
