I have used the tanning lotion called Fake Bake before without any issues; however, the last two times I used it, I broke out in hives and a rash. I wasn't sure what the hives were from the first time, so I put it on again and sure enough, I got hives again. This time, it is so bad, that my skin is cracking and burning like someone is holding a cigarette to my skin.
Last Friday, September 25, 2015 I took a shower and then applied the Original FakeBake Luxurious Golden Bronze Self-Tan Lotion Streak Free Easy Application that I purchased in the 170 ml/6 fl.oz.e I put it on the night before and then I went to bed. When I woke up the next morning and washed this off, I noticed that my eye lids and the lower portion of my eyes were swollen. I then noticed my face was blotchy and was starting to burn and itch. A little later, my neck and chest area turned bright red as well as my arms and the tops of my hands.
These were all the same areas I placed the self tanning lotion Fake Bake on. I did not place Fake Bake anywhere below my chest area, so no other area on my body was affected. As the day wore on, I could feel my skin continuing to burn - it was as if I was still in the sun burning away! This stuff just wouldn't shut off in spite of me having washed it off - it continued to burn my skin away. The next day, it was still eating into my skin! I bought some Benedryl cream and it did absolutely nothing. I bought Benedryl pills and they too did nothing! I laid in agony burning two days later!
I contacted Fake Bake and all I got was an apology and she tried to blame it on something else I mixed it with - which was NOTHING! I took a shower before I put this stuff on before I went to bed.
My skin is so bright red now that it is cracking and burning.
Below is the letter I received from the company.
Has anyone else experienced the same thing I have? PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE!

Dear Sir:
I purchased a tube of the FakeBake Original Self Tan Lotion and for the second time, my face and chest broke out in hives. My eyes are totally swollen and I'm off to the drug store for Benedryl cream. I used to use your tanning lotion all the time without any issues, but lately when I purchased it, all I get are huge hives on my eye lids and under my eyes. Did you change your formula?
