Basically I use the mask as an exfoliator, which clears up my acne, reduces redness, and brightens my skin, then I use this TreeActiv+ Tea Tree Oil Acne Solution for Advanced Acne Treatment - All Natural Acne Spot Treatment - Blemishes Gone or Your Money Back!"
"I emailed EltaMD regarding the validity of the product, here is their response as of yesterday, 9/22/15. I give it 3 stars because of my skepticism, but I love the product I have received, assuming it's legitimate."
"Product has a pump dispenser, and it cannot be left in the heat or the plug at the bottom disintegrates, causing the not to work anymore."
"This product feels good. It doesn't do that when I don't use other products underneath it or let them absorb first."
"I run 5 days a week and I am usually coveted in zinc that stays white ( even tho package says clear) and it is like glue to get off after my run."
"I've been using this sunscreen for 2 years and up until this purchase has had good experiences with Amazon sellers."
"I was very disappointed to find out the Elta MD skincare product I had purchased was fake according to my dermatologist."
"This is 2nd time that the pump does not work."
The dual function cosmetic bronzer assists in making the application even easier (shows-where-it-goes) whilst providing an instant golden tan. Formulated with Fake Bake's exclusive triple tan formula (DHA boosted by DMI & Erythulose) for an intense tan that lasts longer. Unique triple tan formula it contains tanning agents DHA, DMI and Erythrulose and is pleasantly fragranced with a tropical scent.

The natural solution I came up with was cutting down the straw to make it short enough to fit in the bottle and prevent leaks. If the mitt had velour on both sides, there would be risk for rubbing extra tanning solution in random places, most notably on your body where it can leave a streak. I highly recommend that every pale someone purchase a product called Xen Tan Blending Balm. Once you're done applying the tanner all over, including hands and feet, take your blending balm and go over your elbows, ankles, knuckles, sides of feet/hands, and wrists. UPDATE 7/25/2014: Xen Tan Blending Balm is almost impossible to find these days, but its first ingredient is petrolatum. UPDATE: September 27, 2012. After finishing a whole bottle of Fake Bake, I'm happy to report that the velour mitten is still in tact. Washing the mitten also prevents leftover solution from becoming reactivated and leaving darker splotches in random places during application. I opted to use Jergens the night before Carolina Cup a couple years back because I knew it would be rainy and I didn't want everyone and their momma noting how streaky my tan seemed to get in the drizzle. Fake Bake Flawless is also an ideal option for people who have never applied their own sunless tanner before, as it is basically idiot-proof. For those of you who want a longer lasting tan, with a more difficult application, I recommend Tanwise Lotion or Mousse. Tanwise is not a product for the faint of heart - it goes on VERY dark and stains your skin in streaks unless you blend QUICKLY. I went to Charleston recently and applied this the morning of a very long day of bar crawling, and my arms were still tan at work a whole week later. You can find Tanwise products here on Amazon or at a Sally Beauty supply near you - but remember, they are NOT easy to apply correctly. The Fake Bake Flawless is still my absolute favorite product for a quick, easy, pretty, coconut-scented tan. I like to apply the Tanwise mousse with the gloves and mitt from my Fake Bake kit and it always works perfectly."
"One of the best tips I can suggest is lightly rubbing lotion on areas where you may have dry skin (elbows, knees and wrists/knuckles) before applying. I use circular motions and just lightly buff the tanner onto my skin. If you're experiencing problems it's most likely user error and it will just require a little more practice but once you get the hang of it, it is a cinch!!!!!"
"I have been using different tanning products for years, everything from L'Oreal Sublime Bronze (which I was vaguely favorable to), MysticTan, VersaSpa (good in a crunch, but not at the eleventh hour), and Jergens Natural Glow. Especially in the traditional places where the lotions sink in too much and create the ever lovely bread-crust effect on the edges of the palms, between the fingers, nail beds, and don't even get me started on the feet! hahaha No really though... Glynis is dead on when she recommends that you trim the tube, I measured it by sight looking at how much would need to come off just to screw the cap down tightly. Don't risk having too much on your hands because this is a fast drying product (and trust me, that's a good thing!!). I tend to get a bit antsy and go too fast over my thighs, but that's how you can miss a spot... luckily, touch-ups are not hard with this formula! Because you don't want to wash off all the tanning lotion that you put on your hands, and then try and clean the glove. I thought buying a second product sucked but I was not exceptionally in to the whole idea of lines or splotches. The balm is like a wax, and you apply it after the tanner to blend the color, or before it to block it completely."
"I love this product."

"I have used different brands of Aloe all promising to absorb quickly and leave no sticky residue."
"I highly, highly recommend this product if you are suffering from light acne, dry skin, and keratosis pilaris."
"When applied as soon as I feel the cold sore come it, it's much smaller if I hadn't put it on. I'm not dealing with a cold sore scab (ew) on my face for like two weeks anymore, it's only a couple of days at most."
"This past week, I broke out into a rash on my face and neck that, once healing, left my skin very dry and patchy. I have been using this twice per day after cleansing, under my moisturizer, and my pores look smaller, fine lines plump, and my skin looks smooth and glowing."
"This is more like a thin, runny liquid than a gel, but do not be fooled by the watery feel of this aloe vera gel."
"Looked for aloe Vera and found Amara Organics. But it was this organic product made by Mother Earth that saved my skin and a lot of pain."
"I found that this product, as a hair gel, doesn't have the hold necessary to keep my hair parted to the side."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Before I begin, a side note, if you have a scar that is less than a year old, cover it up when in the sun or it can keloid and/or warp the appearance. Here's the deal on tattoos and tanning: You shouldn't expose your tats to any sun source if you want to maintain their vibrancy and longevity. Here's my solution: I use an spf 70 (the Neutrogena "deodorant" stick kind) on my ink...yes even on my entire back piece."
"It has a browning bronzer that lightly tans you right away, and lasts for a few days."
"I like the fragrance of this lotion, it is sort of a light sweet vanilla scent."
"DOWNSIDE: When I received the product it had some of the lotion (which is a tan color) dried around the top of the bottle opening. Overall I recommend it, its definitely cheaper on here than stuff you get at a tanning salon that probably wont work as well."
"After that started fading in the past 3 weeks with fall starting, i thought id get back to fake baking to maintain a fall/winter tan. Great color results, Natural looking tan, not oompa-loompa."
"Very pleased 3 sessions and I had a tan with the use of this product no tingle which I prefer."
"I have no problems with the price or prompt shipping of this product but am very disapointed in the tanning lotion."
"It has a spray tanning smell to it that doesn’t come off your skin even after showering."

"Horrible damage in your skin.. No for delicates skin, a lot of chemicals, pretty harmful.. choose something natural, essential oils, is the only thing that worked for me, this is expensive product and don't even work.."
"Turns out Proactiv doesn't cure or get rid of acne, it just suppresses it so if you don't use it, all the acne that it's been accumulating under your skin since using it, all comes up."
"First of all, no matter how much I rinsed my face off my towels became bleached - possibly faulty of my own, but I do not own a white towel. Following with step two, it made my face burn!!"
"It aggravated the problem and led to my recent hospital visit to get a doctor's opinion about my skin woes. My doctor recommended I stop using such harsh products like Proactiv (the chemicals seriously destroyed my skin) and switch to Cetaphil products only for face wash and moisturizer."
"Be careful if you have sensitive skin, because Benzoyl Peroxide was unbelievably harsh."
"Good product but really dried my skin out."

Instead, Viva Naturals contracts with local farmers, who hand pick coconuts in idyllic, fertile mountain regions in the Philippines. These succulent coconuts are then cold-pressed at low temperatures using our proprietary extraction method, preserving vitamins, minerals and MCTs. With each jar of oil, you’ll taste the rich, silky smooth texture that is derived from these “cream of the crop” coconuts. Rather than storing the coconuts in a warehouse for weeks or even months, the quick turnover crystallizes nearly all of the MCTs and antioxidants in the oil. The soil imbues our oil with compounds that support skin, hair, and immunity.

"I really wanted to wait and do a review after a few months of use, since that is generally how long it takes acne medications to work well, but I'm terrified to put this stuff back on my face. In regard to its ability to remove blackheads I was disappointed, Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask works way better."
"It's like this mask made my skin go back to what it was. Anyways this mask is super drying and like I said it made my acne worse."
"The first time, my pores felt really tightened but the few times after that my face would get really irritated and I developed a rash across my cheeks. If you're going to regularly use this product, I would recommend buying some pH strips and testing the pH of your mask to make sure it's the same every time you use it."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I bought the Baebody Eye Gel because my eye area was in need of serious help--I'm a mom, have a job, and recently lost some weight, which is apparently the perfect recipe for an under eye disaster."
"I just wanted a product that would make address dark circles, under-eye puffiness, and minimize the lines under my eyes and those wicked crow's feet at the corners. Just as important to me is that this product has natural ingredients, is manufactured in the United States, is cruelty free and never tested on animals. Upon immediate application, the gel soothes my puffy eyes as effectively and gently as cucumber slices but without all the mess. I've tried so manty products to address those fine lines under my eyes and the deepening crow's feet at the corners but with negligible results. And while I was happy with how well Baebody Eye Gel performed with puffiness and dark circles, I honestly didn't expect it to do much for my lines and crow's feet. I purchased this product 3 months ago and I still have at least half a jar left, even though I have been applying it routinely twice a day."
"I wasn't expecting over night results, but some of the other photo reviews for this product (with 10 days between images) made me feel like I should see some kind of difference. While I will continue to use this product until it is all gone, but it looks like I am still on the search for a product that produces results... That is very kind, and makes me feel good to know that Baebody genuinely stands behind the integrity their products."
"This gel actually works!"
"My eye lines are very deep so I knew it was going to take some real magic. I'm cheap and was tired of spending hundreds of dollars on eye products every other month!"
