Fake Bake Blog

As summer winds down, you think about how to keep your healthy, golden glow into fall. While tanning beds may seem like an easy fix, the truth is they come with major risks: accelerated aging, skin dryness and even increased cancer risk. That’s why Fake Bake provides you with safe, skin-loving products to keep you looking radiant all year long.

Skip The Risks Of Tanning Beds

Tanning beds work by exposing your skin to concentrated ultraviolet (UV) rays—far

stronger than what you’d typically get outdoors. Here’s what happens every time you lie down under those lights:

• Accelerated Aging: UV rays break down collagen and elastin—the proteins that keep your skin firm and youthful. This leads to fine lines, sagging, and wrinkles showing up sooner than they should.
  

• Dehydration and Dullness: Fall air is already crisp and moisture-stripping. Add UV exposure, and your skin becomes even drier, flakier, and more prone to irritation. Instead of glowing, your complexion looks tired and parched.
  

• Increased Cancer Risk: The World Health Organization classifies tanning beds as a Group 1 carcinogen—the same category as tobacco. Just one session can increase your risk of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.

That’s why switching to Fake Bake self-tanners is the smarter choice. They give you the same rich, golden glow you’d expect from the sun or a tanning bed—without any of the damage.

A Fake Bake Self-Tan: Safe, With Skin-Nourishing Ingredients

Fake Bake works with your skin, not against it. Each of our formulas is powered by DHA (dihydroxyacetone), a naturally derived ingredient that reacts with amino acids in the top layer of your skin. This reaction creates a gorgeous, streak-free bronze that looks like a real tan, without a single ray of UV exposure.

We believe self-tanning should be more than just color. It should also be skin care. That’s why our products are enriched with a blend of nourishing ingredients designed to leave your skin feeling as good as it looks.

Clean formulations you can trust – No parabens. No artificial preservatives. Just high-quality ingredients that let you make informed choices about what you put on your skin.

Vitamins for vitality – Antioxidant-rich vitamins like Vitamin E help protect skin from free radicals, keeping it youthful and resilient.

Botanical extracts for balance – Soothing botanicals help calm and condition, perfect for skin that’s more sensitive in fall’s dry, cool air.

Hydrating oils – Natural oils lock in moisture, ensuring your glow lasts longer while your skin stays soft and supple.

The result? A self-tan that doesn’t just sit on your skin, but actively supports its health and radiance. Instead of the damage and dehydration you’d get from UV tanning, Fake Bake gives you a bronzed finish while helping your complexion feel hydrated, rejuvenated, and luminous. Because a true glow isn’t just about color—it’s about confidence, wellness, and the care that goes into your skin every day.

Safer Convenience And Confidence

Shorter days and less sunlight can make you feel like your tan is fading fast. Sunless tanning gives you quick results. Most formulas develop in just 4–6 hours, so you can apply in the evening and wake up with a flawless glow. No appointments, no waiting rooms, no UV rays. You can tan overnight and wake up glowing. Plus it is easy to fit self-tanning into your schedule. Whether you’re at home, traveling, or prepping for a special event, our products make it easy to tan on your own schedule. With proper prep and a little daily moisturizing, your Fake Bake tan can last up to a week, meaning less time reapplying and more time enjoying the results. 

But beyond convenience, it’s about confidence. A golden, healthy-looking complexion can lift your spirits on gray fall days, help you feel more vibrant in your favorite autumn outfits, and give you that “just back from vacation” glow, even when the weather is anything but tropical. Fake Bake offers a safe alternative to tanning beds to boost your confidence. A golden complexion that brightens your mood on gray fall days.

Tanning beds are often outdated, potentially unsafe and damaging—especially when your skin needs extra care in the dryer seasons. With Fake Bake products, you’ll enjoy a gorgeous, natural-looking glow that hydrates, protects, and boosts your confidence without any of the risks. So skip the tanning bed this season, and let Fake Bake give you the glow that loves your skin back!
