I am on the one and only mission to always find and try the next best self-tanning product. As I was walking through my Bare Escentuals area of my favorite beauty boutique, I came across Faux Tan in a white bottle. I immediately started to apply some to my arms to see what the buzz around this self-tanner was.
After finishing my shopping and going to the register I was amazed! This Faux Tan by Bare Escentuals was the answer to all of my self-tanning needs! My arms were golden brown, not orange at all, and the best part was, it smells like coconuts! I hate the way self-tanners smell and this was like nothing I have ever tried before.
What I love about the Faux Tan is that I simply applied it to dry skin and there were no streaks, no brown spots, and I was left with a gorgeous summer glow. You will also love that it goes on bronze so while you wait for the quick hour for your tan to develop, you will have a bronze glow which quickly washes off.
I didn’t stop there, I was wearing a summer dress so I applied more to my legs for the true test and again, it proved to me to be an incredible self-tanner. The formula is extremely lightweight and dries fast. Faux Tan is also super-hydrating so your skin is left feeling silky smooth.
Stop by your local Bare Escentuals counter and check this one out. Faux Tan is only $22 and I have already applied it to my legs on 12 different occasions and still have at least a half a bottle. A little goes a long way!
Always remember to exfoliate and hydrate before you self-tan for best results. You can find Faux Tan at www.Sephora.com or at www.BareEscentuals.com and you will not be disappointed!

I used to burn myself in the sun all the time as a teenager, now I am trying to avoid the sun like the plague because everyone is saying if you got sunburn three times it greatly increases your chances of getting melanoma.
I will give this tanning cream a shot…

LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! you will get the best color from this lotion and you will not look the slightest bit orange. just a tip…moisturize just like any sunless tanning lotion in dry spots (legs, elbows, feet, hands, etc) and absolutely wash your hands when you’re done!!!!! I’ve tried gloves, no luck, it just caused streaking so I suggest washing ur hands and using a scrub. enjoy!

My sister told me about this product after watching me painstakingly go through a number of self tanners with not-so-good results. I tried the tan towels, which were easy enough to apply but the smell was less to me desired and you could never tell where or where not it was actually applied until after the product developed (4-6 hrs later). I love the fact that faux tan shows you were you may need to re-apply or touch up and it really does leave the skin smooth. I found it on eBay for a phenomenal price & received the 16oz “Big Daddy” bottle with application brush for only $37! Retail price is $55 + shipping! I am getting rid of my tan towel products & will only use Faux tan from now on! Thank you God, no more orange, blotchy & streaky skin!
