TanOrganic Self Tanning Oil Review

I posted about this tanning oil a couple of weeks ago as I had a little sample to try out and it blew me away. I was very happy with the results as this is the first self-tanning product that I have found that I do not have a terrible reaction to. My eczema does not like the chemicals in self-tan. Have a look at my previous post HERE to learn more about this organic self-tanning brand and why my skin is so happy with it.

The fabulous people from TanOrganic then sent me a full size Tanning Oil!!

R599… and worth every cent.

I usually struggle with my eczema as soon as the weather becomes warmer as my flare-ups are more frequent in summer. This weekend I decided to bite the bullet and try it even though my skin is not 100% clear. Please note that I do not have weaping or infected eczema. I would not recommend any type of cosmetic product in those severe cases! My skin just tends to get very itchy, red and extremely dry.

The instructions say to apply the product to cleansed and moisturised skin. I did a head to toe exfoliation and then applied Lipidol’s After Shower Oil. I gave that a while to completely absorb and then I used my hands to work in the tanning oil. It was super quick and simple. Because it’s an oil, I found it very easy to spread the product evenly. I just made sure to apply a little less on the areas that tend to be a bit drier and where self-tan tends to easily ‘show’… elbows, ankles, knees, etc. I love that there is no need for a tanning mitt and that, after a quick wash, there is no evidence of a self-tan application left on my hands. The oil didn’t take very long to absorb and left my skin feeling beautifully moisturised. I got dressed almost immediately afterwards, and I haven’t noticed any marks on my clothing. I mentioned in my previous post that there was no typical self-tan smell… unfortunately that is not completely true. Because I applied self-tan all over my body this time (not gutsy enough to try self-tan on my face yet), I could detect a feint scent. Not overwhelming, but it is there.

After about 6 hours I had some colour! Yay. The change wasn’t dramatic, but my skin looked healthy and glowing. And I was not Jersey Shore orange! My mom popped in last night and commented on my beautiful tan. She was surprised that it came out of a bottle as it really does look natural.

I also love that the tan is buildable and I can reapply after 3 – 4 days.

AND… yet again… no reaction! Just soft, smooth, tanned skin.

This product gets 2 thumbs up!! Thank you TanOrganic.

TanOrganic – finally a self-tan that I can use!

I am pale. And not the pretty kind of pale. I have lots of moles and freckles (and age spots on my shins *insert ugly cry*) and when it’s cold, I can actually look purple. The only way to get some colour on my skin is too bake in the sun. Not the best option, but I’m allergic to self-tan. I’ve even consulted a dermatologist and they just suggested that I steer clear.

I have tried many (many!) self tanning products in my life, but I have had terrible reactions to them all. It’s probably due to a chemical ingredient in these tanners. Last summer I tried a drugstore lotion that contains a gradual tanner in the hopes that I can get some colour before having to put on a bather. What a disaster. My eczema flared up so badly that I had no other option but to treat it with cortisone. My skin even reacted badly in places that I have never had eczema before. It was horrible.

Then I heard about TanOrganic a couple of months ago. I wanted to get excited, but I was worried that the same would happen.

TanOrganic has this to say about their products:

  • Streak Free Tan.
  • Perfect Fade due to its nourishing moisturising qualities.
  • No perfume or fragrance and especially no “fake tan” smell.
  • No parabens, toxic preservatives or artificial drying agents.
  • Ingredients are 99.6% natural ingredients.
  • The world’s first and only Eco-certified self-tanning brand.
  • Ethically made, Environmentally Friendly & PETA approved

I e-mailed TanOrganic to find out more. Janine e-mailed me back and had this to say:

‘A big difference with TanOrganic is that it is all natural, literally 99.6% of the ingredients are natural. Also it is Aloe Vera based; literally over 80% of the product is made of Aloe Vera which has been known to be soothing to the skin.’

She also told me that TanOrganic is endorsed by the Eczema Society of Ireland.  She went to so much trouble for me. She even read up about eczema and also gave me great advice.

‘This sensational multi award winning oil is essentially a moisturising dry oil with a sumptuous subtle tan.’

They sent me a sample of the Tanning Oil to try… NO REACTION!! And the tan looks natural.

The Tanning Oil is super moisturising, easy to apply, gives a natural glow to the skin and it contains no ‘baddies’. And it smells lovely! It does not have that typical self-tan smell that you can’t get rid of for what seems like days. I am SO happy with this product and I will most definitely be purchasing the tanning oil.

I highly recommend that you pop by TanOrganic and have a look at the products that they offer. They have great specials running at the moment so you better hurry. I’ve heard great things about the dry oil and I am very keen to try that as well.

I am super impressed with this product and the brand and I will recommend it to eczema sufferers and people with super sensitive skin with complete confidence.
