I’ve tried a lot of fake tanning. I grew up tanning (indoor & out) in the 90’s & know what a good dark tan should look like. This brand has done a great job! My only complaint..the spray nozzle could be upgraded & more sweat/rub off proof. It stained my neon yellow VS bra in the straps & I had to request another shipment due to product leaking & the nozzle being broken. Customer Svc. replaced it immediately free of charge but I’d prefer a nicer spray pump. The final color is beautiful, no streaking or patches & a little goes a long way! I will be using often. I think it helps that your not spraying the product directly to your skin. You spray on to the mitt and then rub it into your skin. Around day 4 it started to get a little splotchy, so you’ll probably have to reapply this one twice a week to maintain a nice tan. I couldn’t find the double shot that made me look toasty! It made me look naturally Sun kissed versus orange but this bad boy popped up. It came with an application mit and glove. I thought this was a lotion like the double shot but it wasn’t .. it’s a liquid spray. A little but of a challenge to spread but, it’s a thinner coat and dried even faster! If I could include pics I would. I love that I had hide my pale skin to wear dresses and my swim suit in public! Worth every dollar. Oh if you get it on your hands just wash right away in the warmest water and soap. At least for me it didn’t leave a stain on my hands

Fake Bake Flawless Darker smells really good, it smells almost exactly like the original Fake Bake Flawless. My advice is to moisturize consecutively for a couple of days before you plan on self-tanning. Once you bathe and exfoliate, apply the self-tanner and allow it to dry properly for up to 6 hours before attempting to moisturize again – and then continue to do so as you please in the aftermath. If you’re looking for a medium to dark shade tan, this one gives great color and smells nice to boot. Apply with the enclosed application mitt in upward circular motions to the skin, ensuring all areas are covered, and lightly guide excess tanner over hands and feet.Silk Amino Acids: These anti-aging ingredients help to prevent dehydration and wrinkles, leaving skin with a silky, soft texture. Love this stuff! I have used it for years! This is the only product that doesn't make me break out into hives. Has great color! Never lets me down. 100% worth it! The only problem I have with Fake Bake Flawless Darker is their design choice of the bottle cap dispenser. During the process of applying the tanning solution, the dispenser is a bit bothersome to press as you go along. Perhaps if it had a wider surface area and easier pumping resistance it would have scooped slightly higher. The pump combined with the scent that only lastsa short time means it gets a 4 out of 5 instead.

You don’t have to wait an entire 6 or so hours for drying time. Even though it is water resistant, it’s just best advised to wait this long before going swimming, or applying other cosmetic lotions, etc. as well as showering. Try to shower and wash off the brown coating the tanning spray leaves on your skin before wearing white and light colored clothing so none of the tanner transfers onto these fabrics. For the best results, it’s important to prep your skin before applying this self-tanning spray. I usually shower and exfoliate my skin first before application, but another important step is to moisturize. Glycerin: A powerful humectant, glycerin is a skin-repairing ingredient that prevents moisture loss. Hello!
