The best anti-aging advice is stay out of the sun. UV rays do more damage to your skin and overall health than almost anything you do to yourself.  But what if you simply must have a tan before summer's end?

Fake and Bake It

Fake Bake, with offices in the US and UK, claims to be a revolution in the tanning market. Its customers seem to agree and have rated it the number 1 fake tan product.

This breakthrough product has a winning formula of DHA and Erythrulose that bonds with your skin's pigment and tans beautifully even on the whitest of white skins.

Remember that fake tans work best on healthy, smooth skin. So be sure to use body scrubs, polishers and moisturizers to prepare your skin for the best application. Luckily, Fake Bake has all the products to help you get your skin in the best condition possible.

Fake Bake recommends the following ritual:

Exfoliate your skin approximately every 10 days. Using the gloves that come with the product, apply Fake Bake in the evening over your body and face. Helps to wipe off any excess on the elbows and knees immediately after application. Use a makeup sponge for application on your face, hands and feet. You can use the Fake Bake Sheer Bronzing Mousse rather than the body Fake Bake for these areas.

Let the application dry - about 20 minutes - good time to do those barbell curls, then with a dry cloth wipe off any excess. You may see some Fake Bake going down the drain in your morning shower; it's just excess, no need to worry. Your tan will last for several days.

For the first week, apply 2-3 evenings in a row to build your base. Maintenance is up to you over the following weeks.

Fake Bake also makes a dry-oil spray called Skin Smoothie that they recommend using after your morning shower.

That's it. You now have a sexy anti-aging tan and even healthier skin.
