Lee Stafford Fake My Tan Launch

St Patricks Day found me at Lee Stafford's gorgeous apartment in London for the launch of his new fake tan range called 'Fake My Tan'. As soon as the nights atrt getting lighter, I allow myself to think about tans, flip flops and sunglasses!


James Harknett is the ambassador for the brand. He has worked in the self tan industry for over 10 years and has a huge celeb clientele who call on him for that golden glow.

The range itself was born after Lee was fed up with brand after brand leaving him streaky, not lasting and even the bad smells! Fake My Tan is wash off tan with olive undertones meaning it wont look orange! The orange effect in most products is caused when the ingredients mix with the good bacteria on your skin. You learn something new everyday.

There are 8 products in the range which come in 2 shades. Light to medium and dark.

Magic Potion Tanning Lotion


Magic Potion Tanning Lotion with added Bling


Brown My Bits Tanning Spritz


Just One Use Tanning Mousse

Each product contains ingredients which look after your skin while you pull off the bronzed look. You can soothe, moisturise and soften with Kiwi, Acai, Passion Flower and Marshmallow.

The tan is is quick drying (just seconds!) which is great if you are in a rush or just dont want to spend forever sitting nakie waiting for your tan to dry. Another great thing about this range is that is doesnt rub off on your clothes. Believe me, I have put this through vigorous tests!

James gave me some top tips for using Fake My Tan.

-Use a mitt and the product sparingly. Because the product dries so quickly, you can build up the tan.
-For arms, start at the top and brush the product downwards. That way, by the time you get to your wrists and arms, there will be just enough product left. No bronzed arms and white hands.
- Use a tiny bit of moisturiser along your hair line, the insides of your wrists and over your knuckles to the tan lays and doesnt stick to the dry areas.

James has also answered some questions for you which I will post about soon!

My favourite things about these products are-
-The drying time. By the time I have admired my new bronze arms, I'm dry. No greasy, stickiness or film left.
- They all have the Lee Stafford smell which is like a breath of fresh air compared to the biscuit smell we are know and hate!
- They wash off. You can have a tan for one night without having to put up with going patchy in a few days.
- You can use them all on your face. No more worrying about breakouts.
-My personal favourite is the tanning spritz. You can spray this over your make up for a quick boost. No need to apply yet more bronzer which can make you look muddy. The spray is a dry formula so it wont take off your make up.

Fake My Tan is available exclusively in Boots.

Seen as summer is on the way, and in the UK we never know when the sun will decide to shine. You dont need to worry about the up keep of a tan. You can just fake it instantly and in seconds.
