User questions & answers

Question:	Can you reuse the black latex gloves included in the package
Answer:	Yes, if you buy tanning mitt you won't even need gloves.
Question:	Is this more of a lotion or an oil
Answer:	Hi and thank you for your inquiry. This product is a serum, so it's closer to an oil. It's like a thicker consistency oil. Thank you!Have a wonderful day!Beautystoredepot
Question:	Will this clog my poors
Answer:	Nope. HOWEVER. Like some self tanners, this product contains a tint that you should wash off after 6-8 hrs. The tint might settle into lines and pores but will wash away when you shower.
Question:	How is this different from the Fake Bake lotion or spray formulas
Answer:	I have never tried Fake Bake lotions, but I'm a big fan of the original Flawless spray. That being said, this formula has a gel consistency, it spreads easily with less mess than the spray, and smells better. I apply it directly to my tanning mitt and rub/blend. Like the spray, it has a guide that will wash off with your first shower. I am on my first bottle, so I can't really speak to how my tan lasts compared to other formulas. I will say, that because of the extra cost, I will continue to use the spray formula and probably save this for times when I'm more concerned about the smell. Without the cost factor, I think I would switch to this product all the time. Hope that helped.

User questions & answers

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I apply this to my face
Answer:	According to the Fake Bake website, their products can be used on the face. I've never used a sunless tanner on my face, so I can't speak from experience regarding the results. Since it has an instant bronzer to indicate coverage, you should be ok to use it on your face. I would suggest applying it sparingly and rub it in well.
Question:	if i go swimming with this on the next day i put it on will it come off
Answer:	If you apply it on thursday and go swimmning Friday, no your "tan" will not come off. The DHA reacts with your skin and turns your outermost skin cells darker, it is not a temporary wash-off product.
Question:	i sweat a lot during workouts, would this product come off
Answer:	Yes it would.
Question:	Where can I buy application gloves for fake bake
Answer:	Gloves are included with the lotion. If you use care removing them, they'll outlast the bottle of lotion. If you happen to get a package without gloves (it happened to me once), you can use the same inexpensive gloves as for hair color application, available at any beauty supply.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work better than fake bake flawless with the mitt? I have that one right now and it always comes off in the shower
Answer:	It’s 22 3/4 “ around your head from what I’ve read. When I bought a Briton hat I got a size small and it fits perfectly. I’m a small petite person . Hopefully this helps!
Question:	is this water proof
Answer:	Good afternoon, XS = 6 3/4 S = 7 M = 7 1/4 L = 7 1/2 XL = 7 3/4 Size up to a size 7 small you may need a pair of hat sizer's as well for a better fit. Best Regards, Village Hat Shop
Question:	Unlike the spray/mot version, can you apply lotion on after the product
Answer:	Large = 7.5 or 24" inner circumference Medium = 7.25 or 23" inner circumference
Question:	Does this tanner have a strong smell like the rest of the self tanners
Answer:	Thank you for your inquiry. We would consider the color of the Brixton Joanna to be natural. We always name the colors of each hat we stock the same name given by the hat maker. In this case the Joanna color is called Honey. Natural can be many shades of beige. In this case the hat is a combination of white and tan. Thanks again, Tina Village Hat Shop

User questions & answers

Question:	is this .39oz? Are there different sizes available
Answer:	Mine has a clear sticker (containing product label and info) that wraps around the entire bottle. I've never noticed it before. I checked my Fake Bake tanning liquid and that bottle also has a clear wrap around sticker. I hope that helps!
Question:	Can this be used on pale red headed skin tones & is it matte or shimmery
Answer:	Hi, no it doesn't clog pores! Every summer I get samples for other face tanners that I give a try but honestly this is the best I have ever used and keep using!
Question:	Does this really come with 12 compacts
Answer:	It's tinted bronzing moisturizer. It will give you a tanned glow, and is also a builder tan lotion. Which means if you use in continuously over time the 'tan' will stay behind even after washing your face.
Question:	I see quite a few reviews that say they got a different product than what is pictured? Can you confirm that you are sending what is pictured here
Answer:	I don't think the Fair will be too dark. I use the Fake Bake original spray formula though. I use it about three nights in a row each week. Still pretty happy with the results. *I just want to add, the Fake Bake tanning lotion does not actually gradually tan you at all. I use it only as a liquid eyeshadow basically, and I like it for that only. I have the dark formula and it is pretty dark. I recommend the Fake Bake original spray even for fair skin. It gives you just a touch of color. Use it as many times for your desired results.
