Shoppers praise 'dream product' that prolongs fake tan and sells every 20 seconds
As the weather warms up, achieving a radiant, sun-kissed look becomes a top priority on many people's summer beauty checklist. However, while we all strive for that golden glow, it's equally crucial to shield ourselves from the sun's damaging rays, which makes self-tanning products and SPF-infused body oils some of the best pre-holiday purchases.
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 ."

Woman, 86, 'stuck' in Turkey after holiday turns to nightmare
Woman, 86, 'stuck' in Turkey after holiday turns to nightmare Amaya Harrison is pleading for people to 'help us bring Nan home' Catherine Harrison and her granddaughter Joanne (Image: MEN ) A grandmother from the UK is stuck in Turkey after her holiday turned into a nightmare. Catherine Harrison, 86, was just two days into a family stay in Antalya when she suffered a fall in the shower, fracturing her back. The fall left Catherine in excruciating pain for several days before her family decided to take her to a private hospital. Her great-granddaughter, Amaya Harrison, told the Manchester Evening News: "She fell and landed on her back. "My mum and her partner were there at the time and they brought her back into her bedroom and tried to put cold ice packs and cold sprays. She was bed bound for three days so we had to send her to a hospital that was recommended by the hotel we were staying at. Catherine Harrison in a hospital bed in Turkey (Image: MEN ) "She's not really been able to talk because she's been crying in pain. She's been telling us not to worry or stress, but I know she's the one that is stressing." Amaya said there were issues with Catherine's care at the initial ward, but she has since been moved. The 21-year-old added: "They are trying to feed her, going out and finding her food so hopefully it'll be okay. While Amaya, her siblings, and her mother's partner have returned to Manchester, her mother Joanne remains in Turkey with Catherine, who is still in hospital. Article continues below Although travel insurance was secured for Catherine, Joanne didn't purchase any for herself. Despite reaching out to insurance companies, the family hasn't received much "help or advice", Amaya said. Amaya Harrison and her great great grandmother, Catherine Harrison (Image: MEN ) Now, the family is attempting to raise £56,000 to get Catherine back home to Manchester. Amaya said: "They're saying it's going to cost us £56,000 to get her home because she can't fly a normal commercial flight. "She has to be on a stretcher because she has to lay flat. She also needs a doctor because my Nana has loads of other healthcare conditions and it's a high risk for her to come home. "My mum is beating herself up because she can't be at home and she can't get Nana home. It's one of those hard, hard situations that we're trying to go through. We have quite a big family and my Nana is at the centre of it. "She was the youngest of five children and she's the only one left. A lot of us are panicking here in Manchester, trying to scrape pennies together to get her home. It has been hard, especially to my younger siblings, they don't really understand the severity of the situation as of yet. Article continues below "We're really just trying to get it together."

Sun lounger vigilantes RUINED my holiday, says disabled Brit OAP after fuming tourists were filmed snatching pool towels
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BRIT tourist was left fuming after TikTokers swiped bed towels from a sun lounger she had been given permission to reserve due to her disability. Wheelchair user Elaine Simpson, 77, from Manchester, was staying at the Aquasol Aparthotel near Magaluf with her family to mark her 51st wedding anniversary. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Elaine (R) with her family at the airport ahead of their holiday 4 They staying at the Aquasol Aparthotel near Magaluf Credit: Jam Press 4 TikTokers rushed down at 2am to take the towels away Credit: Jam Press/@mandylb3 4 People praised the group for taking the towels away Credit: Jam Press/@mandylb3 But her plans to enjoy the special day by the poolside were ruined after a group of friends nabbed the towels they had used to save their spaces at the permission of hotel staff. Elaine was joined for the trip by her husband and teenage grandkids for a week's break in the sun. But when they arrived, she was put into a hotel room that was five floors up and as far from the pool as they could have been. Because she suffers from chronic arthritis and is in a wheelchair, this made it a challenge to claim a hotel sun bed at opening time. She told the Sun: "We could never have made it down for 9am to get a sunbed. "So we went out to the beach and paid for sunbeds for the whole week." Her anniversary came towards the end of their trip - and she wanted to have one day of being able to enjoy the poolside at the hotel. So she asked reception if they could make an exception to hotel rules and let her reserve a sun bed for that day. "I went to the man on reception and explained the situation," she said. "And he said 'you have my approval to reserve some sunbeds around the pool'." Her teenage grandsons dutifully laid out fresh towels on the sun beds that night so they could save spots for the whole family. But when they arrived in the morning, the towels had been taken and they were once again left without a space - spoiling the relaxing poolside day they had planned. "The only thing that was available apart from that was white plastic chairs, she added. "They were too hard. And I can't lie down on the grass, I've got chronic arthritis." To start with, they were told it had likely been a lifeguard who removed the towels in error. But it later transpired that a group of friends, who were unaware an exception was made for the family, had taken the towels. They had shared a video on TikTok of the lads putting down the towels - who the friends had assumed were tourists attempting to get ahead of the morning rush. The TikTok shows them sneaking down in the dead of night to swipe the towels in what was painted as an act of justice against queue jumpers. Comments on the video lambasted the family for what was perceived as an inconsiderate act of breaking the hotel rules. Elaine told the Sun: "It was vile. My grandsons are 13 and 15, they had no right to post any pictures of them. "They were just trying to look out for me. "They've not right to do that without checking the facts. "What somebody saw, and the truth, are completely different." Elaine said her daughter has since made contact with the TikToker who posted the original video, who apologised profusely for the confusion and took the clip down. But she added that the experience hasn't entirely soured their trip. They plan to go back to the same hotel next August, and hope to arrange a more wheelchair friendly room with staff.
