Get Your Best Self-Tan For Special Occasions
When you have a special occasion coming up—whether it’s a sun-drenched vacation, a crisp early-fall wedding, or a lively end-of-season party—your tan can be just as important as your fashion. A gorgeous, even glow enhances your look, boosts confidence, and photographs beautifully.
Late summer and early fall are unique tanning seasons. The transition in weather
means your skin may be drier, and special occasions often come with tighter timelines. The good news? Fake Bake Self-Tanning Products are designed to deliver flawless, long-lasting color with ease, making them your perfect prep partner.
Below is your step-by-step guide, from when to prep, to how to transition that glow well into the fall season.
Timing For Your Special Event Glow
You can develop a stunning sunless tan with several fast, easy application steps. Here’s a timeline to follow for vacations, weddings, or big parties:
7 Days Before the Event – Skin Prep
-
Exfoliate thoroughly to remove old self-tan, dry skin, and any buildup.
-
Pay extra attention to dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles.
-
Begin daily moisturizing with Mistifier Oil-Free Moisturizer to create a smooth, hydrated base.
3-5 Days Before the Event – Base Tan Application
-
Apply your first, full-body application of self-tanner.
-
Wear loose, dark clothing while the tan develops to avoid transfer.
-
Allow the product to develop overnight and rinse it off in the morning.
-
Recommended product: Fake Bake Flawless Self-Tan Liquid – Delivers a rich, golden color in a single application, ideal for event prep.
1-2 Days Before the Event – Enhance & Perfect
-
Apply a second light application for color depth or to touch up any uneven areas.
-
Recommended products: Fake Bake Flawless Darker, for those wanting extra depth. Fake Bake Flawless Coconut Tanning Serum, which adds hydration while building color.
Day of the Event – Finishing Touches
-
Apply Bronzy Babe Bronzer and Body Glow for extra glow and photo readiness!
Maintaining Your Sunless Tan
Your best self-tan will last throughout your event, whether it’s a weekend wedding or a week-long vacation.
Self-Tan Maintenance Tips
-
Moisturize twice daily. This will keep your skin supple, prolonging your tan’s life.
-
Avoid long, hot showers or baths. These speed up fading. Use lukewarm water if you can.
-
Pat your skin dry after showering and avoid rubbing briskly with a towel.
-
Refresh your self-tan as needed, even daily. Reapply your favorite sunless tanner to touch up trouble areas, keep it even overall, or after a hot, outdoor event.
Whether it’s a vacation, party, or wedding, the key to a stunning sunless tan is timing, the right products, and persistent aftercare. Fake Bake’s range of self-tanning solutions and accessories offers something for every occasion, skin tone, and schedule. With a little planning, you’ll enjoy a glow that looks effortlessly natural.
