Our spray and liquid self-tanners deliver an even, natural-looking bronze without UV exposure. Unlike some gradual self-tan formulas that can go streaky, our Flawless and Flawless Darker liquids work with your skin’s chemistry to build color as it develops over time, typically within 4–6 hours. The result is you get a sun-kissed glow that deepens the longer you leave it on.

Our spray and liquid formulas stand out in several ways. First, you can be confident of even coverage. A fine mist application penetrates hard to reach areas and helps reduce streaking and patchiness. You’ll develop natural bronze tones, without orange or green undertones. Our formulas are fast-drying, with a lightweight feel that won’t leave your skin feeling sticky. And our built-in cosmetic color guides will allow you to see where you’ve applied your sunless tan, ensuring balanced results.

Spray tan skin prep tip: Exfoliate before use and moisturize dry areas like elbows, knees, ankles, and wrists for the most even fade.

Skin Types & Tones With Spray And Liquid Tanners 

Fake Bake liquid self-tanners are designed to perform well across a wide range of skin

types and tones. For normal to dry skin, our formulas work best when dry areas are moisturized in advance. With oily or combination skin, our lightweight, fast-absorbing formula prevents buildup. And for fair to deep skin tones, your color develops proportionally, creating a lighter glow on fair skin and deeper bronze on darker tones. The adaptable base tones ensure the result looks natural on all complexions.

Everyone’s skin is unique, which means self-tanner results will vary from person to person. Factors like natural skin tone, undertone, texture, and how your skin absorbs moisture all influence how color develops. That’s why finding your best self-tan often takes a little experimentation. Test different formulas, depths of color, and application techniques to see what complements your skin most naturally. The key is paying attention to how your skin responds and adjusting accordingly, because the best self-tan isn’t one-size-fits-all, it’s the one that works best for you.
