Shoppers praise 'dream product' that prolongs fake tan and sells every 20 seconds
Beauty aficionados have long praised Coco & Eve, with the brand's popular Sunny Honey Bali Bronzing Foam (£26) selling at an impressive rate of one every 20 seconds. Now, the brand has taken things up a notch with its latest product: the Tan Boosting Anti-Aging Body Oil SPF50 (£29), designed to prolong your tan's lifespan under the sun.
This multitasking oil is formulated to not only nourish the skin, but provide robust SPF50 protection against UVA/UBV rays, and enhance natural tan. The lightweight, non-oily formula is perfect for topping up your colour whilst keeping your skin protected and silky smooth. Plus, it boasts a delightful fragrance of ripe pear, creamy almond, coconut and mango, reports the Manchester Evening News.
In terms of holiday preparation, we suggest using the Bali Bronzing Foam or the Sun-Kissed Gradual Tan Lotion a few days before your trip. Once your tan has developed, apply the Body Oil daily to moisturise your skin and preserve that fresh-from-the-beach look. It'll help extend your tan's longevity while imparting a glossy, healthy shine to your skin.
For those looking to soak up the sun, apply the SPF oil liberally before heading out. After a day of sun exposure, consider following up with a calming after-sun lotion or aloe vera to soothe the skin.
If this option doesn't convince you, there are numerous other body oils with SPF that can help enhance your glow. For example, NUXE's Sun Tanning Oil, priced at £24, is rich in botanical extracts and vitamin E, leaving the skin feeling smooth and radiant.
Alternatively, The Fox Tan Rapid Elixir, now £19.99 (reduced from £24.99) at LookFantastic, comes highly recommended by MEN's Fashion and Beauty Editor, Rachel Pugh. This formula prepares the skin for sun exposure and can be used daily or three to five days prior to going out in the sun.
Although it's a new launch, Coco & Eve's Body Oil has already garnered positive reviews. One fan said: "It's a miracle that I got a tan without burning. I like how this oil is hydrating; it left my skin feeling silky smooth."
A second added: "It gave my skin a beautiful glow without feeling greasy. It's incredibly hydrating, perfect for my aging skin, and the added sun protection is a bonus. A new staple in my skincare routine."
The product currently has no negative reviews; however, one user reported experiencing a 'heat rash after three days of using the SPF30 version. ' An advocate for SPF50 shared their enthusiasm, remarking: "I'm someone who burns easily and always has a coat of self-tan on. This is the only oil that doesn't make me burn or ruin my self-tan. Most oils make my self-tan separate, but this doesn't affect it at all."
They continued to praise the product saying, "I love how it keeps me protected while allowing me to get a tan. It smells amazing and absorbs fast, leaving a hydrated, glow finish with no residue. I have ."

Brilliant theme park 90-minutes from Liverpool and Manchester that kids won't want to leave
This theme park in North Wales is set against the stunning backdrop of the Snowdonia mountains and home to a large variety of unique rides and nature-focused experiences This theme park with enough attractions to captivate both younger and older children is every parent's summer wish come true. It is even more enticing with it comes with a picturesque setting that offers a touch of escapism for grown-ups as well. There's absolutely no question that GreenWood theme park in North Wales boasts an idyllic location - proudly eco-friendly and nestled against the breathtaking Snowdonia mountain range. Should you be planning a family break in North Wales this year, or simply fancy a relatively straightforward day trip from Manchester, this park ranks among the finest attractions around. It comes after sunbed wars see Brits forced to queue for 'over an hour' just to get to the pool. The journey takes approximately 90 minutes by car from Manchester, but it follows one of the most uncomplicated routes possible (via the A55 beyond Llandudno and A5 through Bangor). The stress-free journey also provides magnificent coastal vistas along North Wales. As one Manchester Evening News writer discovered, travelling with two children aged 9 and 5, the theme park provides a thoroughly packed day out with an abundance of activities - plus a genuine diversity of rides that sets it apart from typical theme parks. Consider, for instance, its Green Dragon rollercoaster - marketed as the "world's first people-powered rollercoaster". It's apparently the only theme park attraction of its type in the world- but don't fret, it doesn't require everyone to run Flintstones -style to power the ride. The attraction utilises funicular technology, first introduced in Welsh slate mines two centuries ago. All passengers clamber into a carriage which descends a hill, powering the rollercoaster up the incline. There are plenty of very unique features to encounter at this family attraction. Another is the Barefoot Trail - where you kick off your shoes and stroll through the woodland, allowing your feet to feel an invigorating variety of surfaces from water to straw and stones. There is stilt walking for beginners, archery, and during the first week of the school summer holidays, there are virtually no queues for any of the 20+ rides across the site. The only unavoidable wait will likely be for one of the park's more spectacular highlights - the colossal Solar Splash water ride. Another world-first, this ride is powered by solar energy, and allows both kids and adults to zoom down two massive central chutes, or a spiral chute next to them, before making a splash landing at the end. All the wild woodland play features scattered across the site, add an extra dose of intrigue. The park is nestled against a hillside so be prepared for some gentle inclines as you explore the grounds. The on-site Woodbarn restaurant boasts a large soft play barn inside, ensuring your little ones are kept amused while you order food and wait for it to be served at your table. The attraction has recently introduced alpaca walks that you can book as an extra (for £20), where children aged over 4 accompanied by their parents can meet and feed the three resident alpacas on the site. You can then embark on a guided walk with these furry creatures around their enclosure. Treetop Towers, filled with slides and climbing adventures, are situated across the park, and you can walk up to the top of the site to take in the view from the Snowdonia View Point. Entry is £25 per person for anyone over 1m, while those under 1m pay £10. A family ticket saver option is also available, costing £95 for a family of four (saving you a bit at £23.75 each). GreenWood is offering a 'Pay Once, Visit Twice' deal for the summer holidays. If you visit between 19th July and 24th August, you can return within seven days at no extra cost. Dogs are also allowed in for free, provided they're well-behaved and kept on leads.

Bikini-clad Amanda Holden, 54, flashes her abs alongside BGT co-star Alesha Dixon, 46, during lavish Corfu holiday with their children
Britain's Got Talent judges Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon are currently enjoying a lavish holiday in Corfu together with their children. The two beloved BGT stars are lapping up the sun on the Greek island during the school holidays. Amanda, 54, stripped down to a tiny white bikini and flashed her abs as she topped up her tan in the basking heat. She posed in the skimpy two-piece which she paired with oversized sunglasses and a stylish black and white bandana. Other photos showed her cosying up to her co-star Alesha, 46, whilst the pair kicked back on a boat. The pair appeared in a playful mood as they danced together on the boat ride while enjoying some quality time away from filming. She captioned her picture: 'Loved having this one and her beautiful family with me and the girls for a few days of sunshine in Corfu.' Amanda appears to be ageing backwards as she recently shared the snaps with her teenage daughters on the stunning island to Instagram. In one snap, Amanda posed up a storm with Lexi, 19, and Hollie, 13, on a rock with the picturesque blue ocean during golden hour in the background. Boasting big smiles, she penned to fans: 'And then there were 3 … just for a day or so ♥️♥️.' Amanda wore a white sheer summer dress that featured a plunging neckline, while Hollie posed in a minidress and Lexi donned a two-piece matching set. In another shot, the blonde beauty posed in a line with her daughters at the luxury hotel they've been enjoying their stay at. Lexi has been signed to Storm Model Management since she was 16 and is no stranger to the camera. The teen is attempting to follow her famous mum into the showbiz world. Boasting big smiles in the sweet capture, Amanda penned to fans: 'And then there were 3 … just for a day or so ♥️♥️' She even made her catwalk debut at London Fashion Week in last year - walking for Tran Hung's show. Amanda previously publicly teased Lexi as she packed on the PDA with her boyfriend as they kissed. She reposted the snap to her followers, joking: 'Mmm I wonder what daddy will think... [laughing face emoji].' Meanwhile, last week Amanda showed off her incredible figure as she stripped down to a white two-piece bikini during a boat day on her holiday. She showed off her trim frame in the skimpy two piece, which featured a triangle style top with matching bottoms. Amanda, who accessorised the look with a paisley print bandana and a pair of black wayfarer style shades, looked completely relaxed during her sunbathing session. The star also shared a sweet capture of her youthful-looking husband Chris Hughes on the trip. She posed with her long-haired other half, 51, to whom she has been married since 2008 after meeting in 2003. Alongside the Instagram post, Amanda shared the sweet caption: 'To the moon and back….8:8', with a heart and moon emoji attached. Amanda looked sensational in a black chiffon dress with a tie neck and plunging neckline as she beamed with her husband's arms wrapped around her hips. And music producer Chris proved his wife is not the only ageless one as he showcased his jet black locks and extremely smooth complexion.
