The Body Shop Fake It! Self Tan Lotion

The Body Shop Fake It! Self Tan Lotion is a subtle self tanning lotion that also provides your skin with adequate moisture. If you are looking for a natural sunless glow, you may want to give this one a try.

The Body Shop Fake It! Self Tan Lotion is available in a Light Medium shade and a Medium Dark shade. Choose the formula which best suits your natural skin tone for the most natural results. Your sunless glow will start to appear within a few hours. I found that you need to reapply this formula daily to get the desired sun-kissed color and at least twice a week thereafter to maintain your color.

For best results exfoliate your skin before applying. You may also want to use The Body Shop’s No Messing Self-Tan Mitt for a smooth and streak-free application.

Fake It! Self-Tan Lotion For Face

When using self tanning products it is important to find one that is also appropriate to use on your face. This keeps your skin tone matched from face to body and also gives your sun-kissed glow a natural look. If your skin tone on your face didn’t match your skin tone on the rest of your body, it would be obvious that you were using a self tanning product on part of your body and also leaving you looking a bit silly. This of course is not the appearance you want and why you want to find a good self tanning product made especially for your face. Fake It! Self-Tan Lotion For Face is one of the products available for keeping your skin tone matched and even for an overall matched self tanning experience.

Fake It! Self-Tan Lotion For Face is a product from The Body Shop. I recommend using it in conjunction with the Fake It! Self-Tan Lotion For Body for a natural self tanned glow. Fake It! Self-Tan For Face is a non-greasy formula that dries in 5 to 10 minutes. The Body Shop uses natural ingredients as the main ingredients whenever possible and this product is no exception to that rule. Organic beeswax is the key moisturizer that also acts as a barrier to seal in the moisture. This keeps your face hydrated and moisturized. Color appears in just a few hours after application.

Application Tips

The first step in application is the same as for your body, Exfoliate your skin. Let skin surface dry for about 20 minutes and apply a moisturizer. After your moisturizer is completely dry you are ready for your self tanning lotion. The Body Shop recommends applying Fake It! Self-Tan Lotion For Face in smooth cirular motions. Take it slowly and make sure all lotion is absorbed and applied evenly to your face. Avoid getting too much of the product around your hairline. If you need a darker skin tone, reapply the following day. To maintain your sun-kissed glow, apply every 4-5 days.

Fake It! Self-Tan Lotion For Face is available at The Body Shop retail stores, from a Body Shop At Home Consultant or online at The Body Shop website. It comes in a 1.69 fl. oz. tube and retails for $16.50 per tube.

My Personal Thoughts On The Body Shop’s Fake It!

I first used The Body Shop’s Fake It! self tanning moisturizing lotion about a two years ago. This was when Jergens had just come out with their new self tanning product and you couldn’t find it on the shelves. I decided to try Fake It! I expected it to work as good if not better than the Jergens Natural Glow but it really didn’t meet those expectations.

Fake It! is one of those subtle tanners. You won’t end up with a sun-kissed glow after one application. This self tanner works best over the course of 3-4 days. The results are a natural sun-kissed glow but you have to remember to apply your daily applications during the first week or you will be just adding a day or two for your color to become a natual sun-kissed glowing sensation. Maintaining your tan requires reappling the self tanning lotion every other day, or at least that is how it worked for me.

For the price of $16.50 per tube, I would rather use Dove Energy Glow at $6.99 a tube or Jergens Natural Glow. I had better results with both of these products after 2 days and they are both under $10 a tube.

Fake It! Self-Tan Lotion for Body From The Body Shop

The Body Shop launched a new self tanning moisturizing lotion two years ago. The product was called Fake It! Self-Tan Lotion for Body in a Light to Medium shade. It was so popular that last year they introduced the Medium to Dark shade. This is a popular self tanning lotion because you can reap the benefits of both a self tanning lotion and moisturizer all in one. What makes this product so popular? One of the key ingredients in Fake It! is Shea butter. Shea butter is a wonderful moisturizer that will make your skin soft and silky.

What Does The Body Shop have to say about Fake It?

This pleasantly fragranced moisturizing lotion is easily absorbed and dries quickly to leave skin with a natural-looking deep tan within a few hours. This new shade delivers a deeper, more intense, yet natural-looking tan.

Fake It! comes in a 6.75 fl. oz. tube and retails for $16.50 per tube. The Body Shop does not test products on animals and uses natural ingredients as their key ingredients where possible. You can purchase Fake It! at The Body Shop online store or any of their retail stores.
