Fake Bake - Frequently Asked Questions
Is Fake Bake safe to use in pregnancy?
Fake Bake only comes in to contact with the upper most layers of the epidermis (skin) and does not penetrate into the blood stream whatsoever, therefore, yes it is safe to use during pregnancy. However we would also have you take note, that you should always perform the patch test to check for sensitivity as when you are pregnant, your hair and skin may not behave the way it used to and you may find that you are sensitive to products you used when you were not pregnant.
How long does Fake Bake last?
It will last between 3 to7 days dependent upon skin type and your aftercare.
Can I use Fake Bake in the sun or with sunbeds?
Marketing research has discovered that the use of spray tanning products with the sun or with a sun bed actually accelerates the tanning process. Stimulating the dark pigment of the skin, known as Melanin, accelerates any form of sun tanning. Those who wish to combine our product with an additional sun tanning regimen will see quicker and more satisfying results than ever before. For this reason, many Suntan Salons carry our products to use with sun beds as a Melanin Accelerator to promote tanning. Our product is also ideal for those who cover their face during tanning or who have trouble tanning the sides of their bodies or other problem areas. NOTE: We do recommend the use of SPF or sun block when engaging in any form of sun tanning.
Does Fake Bake contain sunscreens or SPF?
It is not recommended to add SPF to spray tanning products. So many customers want different degrees of sunscreens or sun blocks that it would be impossible to satisfy all of them. We recommend that you use the sunscreen best suited to your skin type.
Does Fake Bake use animal testing?
No, it contains no harmful ingredients that would have required extensive animal testing.
What does having a Fake Bake spray tan entail?
We recommend you exfoliate and moisturise before you arrive for your appointment and wear dark loose clothes on the day. It will take approximately 15 minutes on the day. You can bring along your own bikini (ensuring it's an old / dark one)
