Great for first time fake tanning!

This was my first experience with fake tanning and I was a little nervous, but with this product I had nothing to worry about :)

I was worried about it looking orange or obvious but this looks super natural! Not orange and doesn't look fake at all. Looks just like a real tan, and I have very fair, cool-toned skin too.

The instant bronzer is helpful as you can see where you've applied, so you can get an even finish. You can apply with your hands (more efficient) and just wash them after. Once I have got the shade I like I only use it every 5-7 days.

It does cling more to dry areas so I would recommend regular moisturising in advance. Sometimes it will stick to areas and not spread as well, and I think this is why.

I've had this bottle for a while and ~technically~ it has past the best-before date (I got it cheap as it was due to expire soon) but I'm still getting good use out of it.

Tips: The website recommends doing any shaving/other hair removal 48 hours in advance so you have a smooth surface. Exfoliating beforehand is good too. Also, moisturise before (not after!) and focus especially on dry areas.

Not so streak free for me

This stuff develops into a lovely natural tan but I did find it quite hard to apply. I used a mitt with it but it is quite thick so it is difficult to get an even coverage. I found that the more I tried to smooth it on, the streakier it became (it does have a tint to it so you have an instant tan). The streaks were less obvious in the tan that developed the next day but were there nonetheless. I wouldn't use this one again and I have kinda given up on faking it altogether and am try to embrace my natural pastiness.

Super Tan Fan!

Life is better with a tan :-) And what a discovery Oasis Beauty Super Tan has been! Once I am lathered in this bronze goodness, several things spring to mind. Instant results, a boost of confidence with streak free coverage and there's no UV exposure. Not to mention the skin benefits like smothering yourself in Vitamin E, (amongst other 100% natural goodies) - which help to hydrate your skin and improve appearance.

To me, Oasis Beauty Super Tan packaging is smart looking and trustworthy. The bronze colour box stands out on the shelf, if you are buying in-store, and once opened you will find a white 150ml tube containing pure bronzing magic. This also includes a complimentary applicator mitt. I have never used the mitt. There are thorough directions on how to apply also.

Once opened, there is a slight fragrance but it is not unpleasant or a give away that you will be wearing self tan. The consistency of Oasis Beauty Super Tan is like a rich bronze mousse, so is very easy to apply. I work this colour magic into my skin quickly as it dries reasonably fast, which is great as you can get dressed straight away. This tanning goodness is non-greasy and does not stain bedding or clothing.

Oasis Beauty Super Tan provides a light, instant tan/sun kissed glow. I love the instant results (hence why I keep repeating myself) and that you can easily build up to your desired shade.

Did I mention that Oasis Beauty Super Tan is 100% Vegan, Cruelty Free and NZ Made.

I purchase Oasis Beauty Super Tan from the Pharmacy as well as ordering online through Oasis directly.

My skin looks and feels amazing. And does not smell as though I am wearing a self tan product.

Tips: Like any self tan, be mindful when applying around ankles, knees and elbows. And wash your hands thoroughly after application.

Very Metallic Smell

Oasis Beauty's Super Tan is the first gradual tanning lotion that I've come across that has no smell, as promised. The product does have a slight metallic scent when squeezed out of the tube, but once applied, this disappears and the instant bronzer that is added to the product allows me to easily see where I've applied the tanning lotion.

Well, that was true for the first week of using the Super Tan. During the second week and the weeks after, the metallic scent seemed to intensify (obviously due to the product now being exposed to air each time it's used) and the metallic scent clings to the skin for hours after application. If I don't use Super Tan for a week and then go back to it, the metallic scent is quite overpowering, even to the point where hubby commented one night, "It smells like you've been bathing in the blood of your victims in here," when he went into the bathroom shortly after I'd finished applying my tan.

The colour of the product is quite dark (a bronze-brown thick paste), but the bronzer gives me instantly tanned looking legs, which is great, especially if I've forgotten to apply the lotion the day before I want to have a nice looking tan. Best of all, there's no streakiness or patchiness, and no orange colour.

My tan only lasts about 3 days before it rapidly begins to fade and desperately needs a top-up. I've never managed 5 days like they promise, and I definitely wouldn't say that it doesn't have a smell, that metallic scent can be quite overpowering at times. Honestly, I don't see myself buying another tube of this, I think I'll be going back to Palmer's Natural Bronze Gradual Tanning Moisturiser.

Tips: Exfoliate well before applying.

Lovely tan

I brought this as a tanner when looking for a more natural based tanner than my normal ones. I’ve used the cleanser and this moisturizer from this brand and been impressed, so hoped it would be the same with this self tan.

The tube is white, plain and simple. Modern yet appealing.

I do the normal prep for tan,exfoliate and moisturize the drier bits like knees and elbows prior.

The formula is lovely but a thick consistency. I apply with gloves taking care that I rub in well. It takes a while to develop.

Later on that day I’m left with a gorgeous lovely tan colour on my skin. It’s a lovely formula without any nasties. A lovely product.

Not quite a gradual tanner on this pasty gal!

As with I’m sure many of my pasty sisters I’m always on the hunt for a great self tan. This one has been reasobly reliable for me- provides a really natural colour, has pigment to make application easier and is a great price. I find a mitt is a must, as is moisturising a few hours before application. Am on my second bottle of this stuff so will most likely be back for a third!

Simply the best gradual tanner!

I had a full body professional spray tan before I headed off on my holiday overseas on a Cruise but wanted something to prolong my tan as I was told it would wear off very quickly after swimming well this little beauty came up trumps for me and did exactly that.The formula is perfect,non drip and easy to apply plus it dries super fast so you can dress straight away without any waiting.After my Spray tan had completely worn off, and this was not a pretty sight, I started using this product straight away and had a lovely natural golden glow which did not look streaky or patchy just very even after only two days of use.I purchased mine online from Healthpost NZ and paid around $30 which is a bit expensive but you only need a small amount each day to build up your desired colour and to maintain your tan.This is now my holy grail tanning product and I will be stocking up for next Summer.

Tips: exfoliate before you apply and just apply very lightly around knees,ankles,elbows to prevent dark tan build up.

Not bad for Au Natural!

I won a captioning contest on the Oasis Facebook page, and this was one of the delightful prizes. I have a love hate relationship with most self-tanning products, especially cream ones at that, so I was sceptical it would work as well as they say.

The bottle is plain white and shiny, which is a shame because if it were matte it would match the rest of the Oasis range better. Super Tan is big and easy to read, and it made me think that the bottle should have a cape. The lid flips on and off easily, and there is an annoying silver protector under the cap. Inside the box was also a mitt – I’m not sure if they all come with a mitt or if it was included because it was a prize.

The product itself is an orangey brown, and it is THICK. I didn’t really smell it when I had it on my mitt but as soon as it hit my leg and rubbed around I wasn’t too impressed – no fake tan smell, but the smell that is coming out of this isn’t what I want to be huffing either. It almost smells like cooking oil. Gag.

As I said, it’s thick, and I now know not to use too much. Too much product and you find yourself struggling to get it to dry, and too little you’re left with product that’s dried too fast. Not to mention the streaks! So I’m still trying to find the perfect amount for me. The color going on is still that same orangey brown, but slightly less intense as it’s being applied to the lily whites. Usually when I use Bondi Sands (ultimate fave) it takes a bit for me to notice the “tan” but with this it was pretty noticeable straight away and I found I didn’t need to continue for any extra days. (I did the second day, but I think too many days in a row will leave you with oompa loompa legs.)

The tan lasted longer than I expected for a gradual tanner, and I like it even more because I can apply it with my hands if I need to. In my opinion the mitt was useless, but luckily I already had one I could use. So, it’s a great product, but perhaps the payout is too orange for me.

Instant glowy tan

The sleek white tube stuck out to me when this arrived in my NZ Brands Best beauty box ever, an added bonus was it came with an application mitt and normally you need to purchase these separately when you buy tanning lotion.

First I exfoliated my skin all over before applying the tanner. The formula of this is like whipped cream, its thick like cream but also light, it reminds me of caramel (delicious) It has a light tanning scent which impressed me, I dont like the fake tanning smell so this was a big plus for me.

Using the glove I applied a dollop of tanner onto the middle and with circular motions I rubbed it in. I was amazed when I first applied this how quickly and smoothly it absorbed into my skin. It was also an instant change in colour on my skin. I found if I put too much cream onto my mitt it was harder to rub into my skin, its easier to use a small amount and apply more a little bit at a time. I wait for the first layer to dry and then I add a second layer. A fan made drying time a lot more easier and using a full length mirror to make sure you get every inch of your body.

Towards the end of the day the tan darkens but after you shower it takes that darkness away . I like the idea that each day you can apply more to build up the colour, on the second day I applied another layer and it was a perfect shade for me. When applying this there was no streaks on either days which impressed me.

Over the past few days my tan has slowly lightened and its been gradual, I love the shade it gives me, its like a caramel tan with no orange to it and it is very hydrating on my skin.

I would highly recommend this tanner, I will be repurchasing this again.

Tips: Use a little coconut oil on your elbows, knees and ankles to stop the tanner from absorbing too much into the creases. I found standing by a fan helping the drying time.

Golden Summery Skin

Finally with the Summer season near I have been able to try this tanner out. My only experience with tanner is aerosol tan . I've never tried a tanner in a cream form. I got this in my nz brands box in the middle of winter so I couldn't really try this out straight away. I've tried a couple of Oasis products and have enjoyed them all so far and was looking forward to trying this one out.

This tanner comes in a white tube thats easy to get product out of . I don't think white was a good idea for a tanning container as I did get tanning smears on it. It came with a black velvet mitt. On the opposite side of the mit is this thin material similar to nylon. The consistency of this cream is super soft creamy a brown paste . The smell of it is terrible. It smells like old fish oil. Maybe they could add in a natural scent .

Before using this I shaved my legs and did a light body scrub. I put dots of this tanning cream across my legs . I use the mitt provided to smooth this product out. I wasn't sure which side to use so I used both. Silly mistake I made the nylon side seeped through onto the palm of my hand. Luckily this product is easy to wash off.

I'm wearing shorts a lot now and I've been using this tanner . It lasts me all day long. I didn't have any streaking or colour fade. There wasn't any transfer onto light coloured clothing either. I found it easy to come off my skin. The only thing I didn't like was the smell of it. Otherwise overall it's a great product for a warm summer glowy skin.
