subject: Why The Best Self Tan Is Better Than The Real Thing [print this page] If you want to look sun-kissed but are concerned about the health risks associated with traditional sun bathing, then the solution could be to 'fake it'. The best self tan looks as good as the real thing, but unlike the real thing it is not harmful and does not cause premature ageing.
As we move towards a more health conscious age, fake tanning is gaining in popularity. Sunbathing for any length of time, even with liberal applications of high factor sun cream, can do great harm to the skin and more and more consumers are looking for a safer and more consistent solution to their tanning requirements.
Having said that, no-one wants to end up looking like a burnt tangerine! We've all seen examples of the 'orange' self-tanners or noticed that very obvious streak where the tanning process was suddenly stopped. There's a fine line between achieving that golden glow and getting serious orange overkill - and it's a line which all sunless sun-worshippers must be careful not to cross.
Products such as Fake Bake, the UK's leading salon professional self tan, give an instant sun-kissed colour which develops into a long lasting tan without leaving nasty streaks or patches of discolouration. It combines naturally derived tanning agents DHA and Erythulose to guarantee long lasting and natural looking results.
The product is simply sprayed on to the skin, with a second coat giving a more pronounced look. It only takes 6 - 8 hours for your tan to develop and with oils, lotions and moisturisers available to prolong the tan and improve the appearance of your skin this is much more desirable than reckless sunbathing.
With products for fair skin and those for the more experienced tanner looking for a dark, extreme tan, there is something to suit everyone's requirements.
Fake Bake and other fake tanning products are increasingly being chosen by celebrities and beauty experts alike. So if you aspire to the flawless tanned look of celebrities Cheryl Cole or Jennifer Aniston, this is one of the best self tan ranges available.
