I fake baked it last night - for those of you who don't know what a 'Fake Bake' is (I'm sure there are not many who don't) it's a fake tan.
At LA Fitness, Sale, they now have a beauty salon and one of the treatments is this fake tan. I'm off on my hols and as I'm pretty luminous on the beaches abroad I thought I'd treat myself to some colour.
Appointment made I spent an hour being exfoliated, buffed (sorry that word always makes me laugh) and smoothed down with a tanning cream. After the music of the spin class had subsided I was relaxed and enjoying a good old chat with Andrea who explained every step of the process between our natter. She asked how dark I wanted to go, maybe as if i'd been away for a few days - sounded good to me.
I came home slightly fearing i'd gone too dark and would look obviously 'fake tanned' but my son commented 'you don't look any different', my husband, on the other hand, had to lift his jaw off the floor (was that 'cos I looked like a goddess or because I did indeed look very different?). He said it was 'very dark' and I took it that it was much different to my pastey white self.
In the morning I showered off as instructed and just as Andrea had promised I looked as though i'd been away for a few days abroad. To be honest I only ever go this dark after two weeks solid leathering it on a beach with no interruptions beside a food break mid-day and having to turn over. But I'm very happy with the result and I think I'd recommend getting a Fake Bake, especially if you do 'glow' like me on the beaches abroad. I remember when I was 17 years old holidaying in France with my sister, glowing white on a beach when a lovely French chap passed us and started singing "L'anglais en vacances sont blanc" - we giggled until we realised he was taking the Michael! I've never forgotten that and that is why i'm now a lovely shade of brown as I go on my holiday. I may be the only person to come back whiter than when I went away s it wears off over the week!! Hey ho I'm happy!
