What is Eco Tan?

Swapping out the chemicals in your tanner for natural ingredients is becoming more popular. Eco Tan is an organic self tanning formula that produces a subtle and natural looking tan without the health risks of parabens, UVs, or other artificial ingredients.

Eco Tan is an Australian brand with a range of self tanning products that uses organic ingredients to create a natural, safe tan. Unlike other self tanners, Eco Tan does not contain any parabens or sulfates and is made with 100% vegan ingredients. The company also prides itself on being cruelty free and never tests its products on animals.

The benefits of using Eco Tan include:

• Long lasting results that don't fade quickly like some other brands do
• A safe alternative to traditional self tanners (which can be harsh on your skin)
• It’s a lot less damaging than traditional tanning methods, and it doesn’t require any toxic chemicals or UV rays!

How to apply the product:

Tips for getting the best results with Eco Tan products

As with any eco tanner, there are a few things you can do to make sure your tan looks its best.

Applying tanning lotions and mousse

• Use moisturiser before applying the product. This will help keep your skin hydrated and prevent dryness, which can lead to flaking or uneven application.
• Apply Eco Tan with a mitt instead of your hands so that you don't get any on them while applying it to other parts of your body.
• Pop it on after your nightly shower, wait a few minutes and allow it to dry before getting into bed. 

Applying hempitan

Use your hands or the smooth side of Eco tan dual sided mitt as it won’t soak up too much liquid and gives you a professional application every time. Apply a generous amount directly onto skin starting at you ankles and rubbing in each area with the mitt as you go working your way up slowly. Wash your hands afterwards thoroughly.

Applying face tan water

Apply to fresh clean dry skin just like a toner 2 -3 times per week for a radiant glow. Use a few days in a row to build up your desired colour then you can switch to 2 -3 times per week to maintain the glow. 

How long does Eco Tan last?

The typical lifespan of an Eco Tan is about 7-10 days, however, there are ways to make your tan last longer and maintain its vibrancy without having to reapply every few days or weeks. Use a gentle body wash, to minimise the chance of your tan fading. Finally, don’t use body scrubs or harsh cleansers after you have applied your tan, as this will remove your tan or make it look patchy.

Precautions to take when using Eco Tan

• Perform a patch test
• Check the product label and instructions
• Avoid contact with eyes, clothing and fabrics

Best practices for storing Eco Tan products

• Keep the product away from heat
• Keep the product away from direct sunlight
• Store in a cool and dry place with the lid on

The benefits of Eco Tan

Eco Tan is a spray tan that's made from all natural ingredients, which means it's easy to apply and won't leave you with a sticky feeling. It also has long lasting results that are perfect for anyone who wants to look their best without having to worry about reapplying every few days.

Eco Tan also has moisturising properties, which means your skin will feel softer and smoother after application. This is especially important if you have dry skin. You can use Eco Tan on any part of your body - face and body alike - and because it's made from natural ingredients (including aloe vera extract), it'll go on smoothly without leaving behind any kind of residue or unpleasant smell like some other tanners might do!

FAQs about Eco Tan

Is Eco Tan fake tan?

Eco Tan is a natural fake tan made with certified organic ingredients. Unlike other fake tans, which use harsh chemicals, Eco Tan uses only a plant based DHA to give you an all natural glow that will last for over a week. This means no more worrying about an uneven tan or streaks on your skin! And even better: Eco Tan doesn't use parabens, phthalates, or synthetic fragrances! It also works with all skin types. As Eco Tan products are organic and don’t contain synthetic dyes, they don’t stain your skin and instead work with your body’s amino acids and dead skin cells to create a tan that is perfect for you. 

Is Eco Tan good for your skin?

Eco Tan products are made with organic ingredients like aloe vera and other botanical extracts, which make them good for your skin because they help nourish it while giving it that deep golden glow.

How often should I use Eco Tan?

Eco Tan is an organic product and can be used as often as you like. However, we recommend using a self tanner once or twice a week.
 

How long does it take for eco tan to work?

It depends on the product. For example, Winter Skin and Invisible Tan applies like your moisturiser and develops in 8 hours for a beautiful honey bronze glow. In terms of Cacao Tanning Mousse, you can shower 1-4+ hours after application depending on your desired depth of tan. Hempitan Body Tan Water is an express 1 hour application that delivers a dark long lasting tan.

How can I remove Eco Tan?

If you're looking for an easy way to remove your tan, try Eco by Sonya Pink Himalayan Salt Scrub With Peppermint & Lemongrass! This easy-to-use product will help take off any excess product from the surface of your skin without drying out or damaging it in any way. It also has a pleasant scent so that even after removing your tan, you'll still feel fresh!

How long does eco tan last?

Eco Tan self tanners lasts for about 7-10 days. There are some products and procedures that can be used to extend the life of your tan even further than normal! For example, using a good body lotion will help prolong its life by moisturising dry skin and making sure that it doesn't become too dehydrated quickly and your tan starts to peel off. You can also try using a gentle body wash like Eco by Sonya Coconut & Mint Organic Body Wash, which prolongs the life of your tan.

Do you need to wash off Eco Tan self tanners?

No, there is no need to wash off your self tan. They are gradual tanners, which take several hours to develop in order to provide a lasting glow without having to be washed off. However, in the case of Hempitan, you can wash it off after anywhere between 1 and 4 hours, after your tan has reached a desired colour.

What are some of the eco tanning essentials?

A good self tanner is a must in any beauty routine - but it doesn't have to be complicated. With eco tanning essentials like tanning mitt, you'll be on your way to an eco conscious self tanner in no time.

Here are some tips for a beautiful tan:

1. Exfoliate! This is one of the most important parts of your routine: If you don't exfoliate before applying self tanner, you'll end up with streaks and patchy spots that look more like a splotch than a healthy glow. A good exfoliator will remove dead skin cells so that your new tan can really show through.

2. Apply the tanner with a mitt or glove - they're super soft and prevent messy hands (plus they're easy to wash). The next is rubbing the mitt all over your body so that it turns into an even layer of colour across your skin.

Final thoughts

Eco Tan is an effective and safe way to get a natural looking tan without exposing your skin to the sun's damaging UV rays. It contains no harmful chemicals, dyes or parabens, and it's been shown to be safe for all skin types. You'll look like you've spent hours at the beach without any risk of sunburns or other damage caused by UV radiation exposure (which can lead to premature aging).
