FAKE BAKE goes pro: working with the best, Part One…




One thing we are super proud of here at Team Fake Bake is our professional reputation. Now we are nearly two decades old here in the UK, we’ve come a long way from our first, application-based, colour-guided pro Fake Bake tan. When we launched it, it became known as the tan that lasted - without a hint of orange. Now, of course, we have developed and honed our ranges, but we’ve always listened to our pros, and their clients, to make sure you get the very best, and what you’ve asked for.

Our Global Creative Consultant James Harknett is celebrating twenty years in this industry this year, but like everyone, James started off a newbie. We have welcomed so many therapists, and continue to train new ones, but each goes to show that if you come into the industry, get trained by  the best, and work hard, there literally is a golden opportunity in every sense.



Next week, we will be talking to our training team to let you know how you can get involved. But we thought we’d start you off with some inspirational images that really showcase what we do.

Carlotta and Ben dazzle on ice


Team Fake Bake love working on Dancing On Ice and it’s a real compliment to the brand that we have been chosen as the one to outlast and outperform the competition. It’s a great chance for our team to showcase their talents, too, and we love looking at all the looks as they come in.

Charlotte Dawson is a cheeky client with a heart of gold


We adore Charlotte and can’t wait to see her having couples therapy in the new series of Celebs Go Dating. Her down-to-earth attitude, showing what famous faces really look like before they are filtered, is refreshing. And Eloise, The Tan Expert, who has worked with the brand for a decade now is a super-pro and hard worker.

Olivia Bentley is a client Made In… Heaven!


One thing we have achieved as a brand is working with the casts of every single leading reality show - you name the name, and we’ve tanned the frame. Olivia is a spirited beauty and a class act. Gotta love a high fashion feel.

Lydia Bright has a double glow


Now that Lyds is having a baby, we have loved being a part of her beauty journey. She is one of the most genuine people we have met in the industry, and has a style all of her own.

We’ve fallen in love with Ms. Whitmore


We first worked with Laura when she had just started off as showbiz reporter and now she’s working on one of TV’s hottest shows, in every sense of the word. With clients like Laura we know she’s going to be working some beautiful clothes, and has amazing styling, so the overall look is something we love being a part of. And obvs, our team of pros who create these skin finishes are the experts we rely on.

Jake heads up our list of one of our fave boys to work with


As our James is always telling us, more and more men are faking it! And so we get to work with them, and our therapists sometimes have more of a challenge keeping them still long enough to get a perfect result! Seriously, Jake is one of the loveliest people we know and a pleasure to have with us.

Strictly fabulous tans


Yup, we have also been on hand to tan so many Strictly pros and celebs when they are out on tour, and recently welcomed them to Glasgow. Again showing that when you want a long lasting tan, there really is no other choice but Fake Bake.

And the BAFTA goes to…


We do love a red carpet and we do love and upmarket do. So we were thrilled to see Alice May Jeffrey rock up to the red recently looking radiant and on point.

Fake Bake and Sam have a whole lot of history


We literally first worked with Sam Faiers within weeks of TOWIE hitting our screens ten years ago, and since then we have collaborated with her many times. As a brand, we are like a family and once you are part of us, we build friendships that last. Sam is pictured here backstage at the NTAS with our one-and-only Sandra Vaughan.

Vicky P plus Fake Bake - join us on the journey


Fake Bake and Geordie Shore go right back to Season 1 - and how we have all grown and changed since then. One person we have kept with us the whole time, and we love being a part of her world, is Vicky Pattison. Honest, genuine and just one of us, we adore the young woman she has become in every way.

Here’s what we are trying to tell you. Once you have trained with us, the world of pro tanning is waiting for you, and whilst we are not saying every day will see you getting an A-lister ready for a red carpet, the opportunities to progress are all there. From speaking to the most seasoned pros, of course, they get a huge amount of satisfaction working with clients who don’t have a blue tick, too! But from tanning bloggers, to working on fashion shoots, to being backstage everywhere from the MTV EMA’s to The Brits, if the event requires Fake Bake, then we always are on the lookout for talented people to deliver to our own exacting standards.

Thinking of a career change? No matter your age, background, experience or level of beauty ability, if you are thinking about it… act on it!

Next week we will be speaking to people in the know and giving you the deets on how you can get involved.

But this week we thought we’d just finish with a wonderful example of our work, because as a team, sometimes we all take a bow, because we all need each other to get this kind of fantastic Fake Bake finish.


Join us next week. Bring your diary, enthusiasm and an open mind.

An Important footnote: this piece was originally put together on a rainy Saturday afternoon, before the tremendously sad news about Caroline Flack reached us. We were lucky enough to meet with Caroline and work with her just last year, and we are so sorry for the terrible loss her friends and family are going through at this time.

If you are struggling in the light of this news, please speak to someone you trust, call 111 for medical advice, visit your GP or ring the Samaritans on 116 123. You can also visit Shout at www.giveusashout.org to find out about their amazing text back service.

We shall keep remembering Caroline’s advice to Be Kind, Always.
