Tan Organic Self Tanning Oil

I go through fazes of wanting to be tan and wanting to be super pale, but when I do want to be tan I have two go to brands – Cocoa Brown and Tan Organic – and seeing as I have talked about Cocoa Brown a good lot on the blog I figured it’s about time I tell you about some of my favourite products from Tan Organic.

Firstly we have the Tan Erase Exfoliating Mitt. This mitt can be used wet or dry with its main purpose to rid yourself of any dead skin to prevent any build-up of skin or patchy tan. I use this every time I shower to keep my skin smooth and exfoliated but the major thumbs up with this mitt is that it gets rid of any built up tan. Sometimes exfoliating scrubs just don’t cut it but when I use this on any patchy bits of tan it gets rid of it completely. This is a game changer for getting rid of tan and even though it takes the patchy bits off it doesn’t come off altogether it still leaves a layer of tan on your skin.

I’ve tried their Original Tan before and love it but since trying the Tan Organic Self-Tanning oil it has really blown it out of the water. The first time I tried the tanning oil I was a bit confused about how to use it, I figured there was some sort of catch to it. The Tanning Oil is a clear oil that doesn’t really dry in to the skin unlike any other than I’ve ever used before. So the first time I tried it I was in a bit of a panic as I was standing there wanting to get dressed for bed with a full body of oil all over me. I didn’t know what to do but after reading on the Tan Organic website it said it would be ok to get dressed straight after so that’s what I did, I was slightly worried about waking up the next day and being a streaky mess but luckily it was perfect. I had gotten so many compliments on my tan in work with everyone saying how natural it was.

What’s great about the tan is that you don’t need to use a tan mitt you just apply it like any other body oil and wash your hands after it. The first time I used it I think I was a bit too heavy handed so a light layer is needed. The tan is super natural looking and would be a great addiction to topping up a post holiday tan.

The tan lasts for a good 7 days and together with the mitt it comes off very gradually. I love how it doesn’t smell and it uses all natural ingredients. It says that it leaves no transfer but I did find that it does a little but that comes with the territory when you’ve put tan on.

Have any of you tried the tanning oil? I haven’t seen any other product like it available in stores.

Thanks for reading.

Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil

Morning all!

I haven’t done a proper review in a while so I thought it was about time I did one.

I love looking after my skin and love a product that can clean off my makeup as quick as possible (the sooner the better I can get into bed the better).

I never usually shop in Body Shop, the most I think I’ve ever come out of the place with is a lip balm or a spray but I had heard a few people mention their new Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil so I decided to buy it and try it.

My typical routine involves my Soap and Glory Peaches and Clean cleanser and my Nimue Cleansing Gel at night and just the Nimue Gel in the morning (I need the extra cleanser to make sure every bit of makeup is taken off before I go to bed). Since I bought the oil I’ve used it every night since and Peaches and Clean has since been retired to the back of the shelf in the bathroom.

I’ve never used a cleansing oil before so it was completely new to me when I first used it. I just use one pump in my palm and rub it into my hands and then massage it into my face. It’s so relaxing just before going to bed to massage it in and the smell is so calming it really chills you out. Apart from relaxing you it really strips the makeup off your face. After massaging I add a bit of water and it turns into more of a creamy consistency, once I’m done I just wipe it all off and my face is spotless. I use my Nimue Cleansing Gel after just to make sure every last bit is gone.

After - All my makeup is gone :)

All in all I really like the oil, it’s so different and relaxing and really takes my makeup off really well. Even though it’s an oil it doesn’t affect my skin in any way, I’ve oily skin so don’t worry if you do to as it’s for all skin types and won’t make you any greasier.

Thanks for reading and enjoy your day
