CAN FAKE BAKE BE USED DURING PREGNANCY?

While we are not are not aware of any issues with use during pregnancy, we always recommend bringing your tanner to discuss with your doctor to make the best decision for you.  Fake Bake self-tan products contain naturally derived, premium tanning agents with unique performance enhancers. More importantly, all products are free from parabens.

SHOULD I SHAVE BEFORE I APPLY MY SELF TANNER?

All shaving and/or waxing needs to be done at least 24 hours prior to application.

HOW LONG WILL MY TAN LAST?

The answer varies greatly and depends on your aftercare. Keeping your skin hydrated lengthens the life of your tan. Only you can decide your maintenance and upkeep - you are in control! NOTE: DHA is not permanent, so it will fade just as any suntan does. A weekly application is recommended to maintain your colour. 

WHAT IS THE DRYING TIME?

It could take up to 15 minutes to dry completely depending on the moisture level in your skin. Be sure you are dry to touch before getting dressed.

WILL MY TAN TRANSFER?

Fake Bake recommends wearing dark, loose clothing for up to 8 hours while your tan develops. Until the colour guide is washed off, be mindful that a colour transfer may occur onto articles of clothing or bedding.  For best results in stain removal, machine wash as soon as possible.
