Beyond Bronze is the newest thing from FakeBake.com.
They offer amazing, practical, and improved formulas to bronze and bluff your way through the winter blues and turn them into winter hues!
The best part is, not only is application easy and painless, you don't have to step a pale foot out of your house to do it. No risks of sunburn or injuries from sun absorption. Plus the 3 products sell on the site with prices ranging from $14.95 - $17.95.
Here are the two products they sent to me:
Beyond Bronze by Fake Bake Airbrush Self-Tanner
&
Beyond Bronze by Fake Bake Self Tanning Mousse.
Of the two products, I most love the Mousse. I feel like it will last a lot longer than the spray and the application seems simpler. But it could just be me.
The only real problems I have with any self-tanning products is getting it on your hands and wrists.
Casey's tip for this issue and sunless tanners in general:
Either use wrist covering disposable gloves..
wash your hands immediately with dish washing soap, and I use "germ-ex" or alcohol works well too.
Also, an exfoliating apricot (or other) scrub can remove stubborn stains from finger webbing and the pale part of your wrists, where I highly recommend not to put it anyway. If none else, at least find some old hair dye gloves.
The best thing I've found for easy, less wasteful & non-streaking application is a neat little mitt that ironically, another tanning company sent to me. On their website, Fake Bake recommends wearing gloves, but I couldn't find a link on product pages for one for sale or convenience. A spongy specially designed mitt applicator works best! I feel that it should come with the products or be suggested on the site before purchase for ANY self-tanner. If you can find/buy one of these on any website or store, you should probably buy it. Well worth the investment.
Personally, I use a mitt and I also will use soap, alcohol and a scrub on my hands anyway, all three. Even if I see no stains. I have found some later and wished I had, they can be slow to show- at which point removal is next to impossible.
I also do not apply tanner past my ankles EVER. My feet are not "pale" anyway, and in my humble opinion, or perhaps it is just MY skin, the self-tanner always looks funny on your feet anyway. I also wipe excess (most of, actually) the self-tanners OFF of my elbows and knees as it tends to settle in the creases.
I totally recommend the use of the products and experience no complications the brand, the product, or with shipping.
Overall, I'd definitely give this brand 5 out of 5 stars!!!
