Eco Tan Invisible Tan Review

I am a spray tan technician and I use Eco Tan. However it is a bit tricky to spray yourself!! So I ordered some invisible skin in for some clients and kept one for myself as it is much easier for me to apply myself! And i am so pleased with it! After one application at night, in the morning I am so nice and brown! And being cocoa based, Its not orange at all!! And not patchy! By far the best self tanning product I've ever used. It also has no nasty smell and it spreads on white so you can see where you are putting it. It dries quickly though and you aren't left all sticky and with a residue. It lasts well and I can even shave without it coming off. I just exfoliate it off after about once a week and start again :) Cannot say anything negative about this!! Now I can be all lovely and brown like my clients! :)

Fake tanning and I are not great friends. Many clothes, towels, even duvet covers have been sacrificed in my quest to find the perfect fake tan. However hard I try to get it right I always end up spilling it, applying it wrong and looking orange or with streaks and patches. That is why this product has completely changed the way I fake tan!

It doesn't smell like fake tan at all to begin with. It also doesn't look like fake tan but instead a thick creamy white moisturiser. It comes out of the tube very easily and only a little is needed to cover a large area. I apply it by rubbing it on to my freshly exfoliated skin just as I would a moisturiser. Some people may be thrown off by the fact that it doesn't have a colour which could make it hard to figure out where you have applied it, but I assure you if you just make sure you've rubbed it in really well and all of the areas feel thoroughly moisturised then you are doing it right!

And thats it - incredibly simple! Now this isn't an instant tan so you will need to wait around 8 hours to see it fully developed. Because of this I would recommend applying it before bed but because it doesn't have a really strong fake tan smell and it doesn't transfer to clothing then you could even apply it before work and it would be ready for an evening out by the end of the day.

The only thing is, even though it doesn't smell of fake tan immediately it definitely starts to the more it develops. This doesn't bother me and it is no where near as bad as other products but it is something to be aware of.

The tan looks beautiful and makes your skin a nice cocoa kind of brown. On me, it lasts about half a week noticeably but you can easily re apply as there is so much product in the tube I could see myself getting at least 20 applications maybe even more!

I hate to be the one to say it but I really do not rate this product at all. Like everyone I've had some bad experiences with fake tanning and after hearing all these reviews about how this product would not rub off onto clothing and how you could apply it without worrying it would rub off onto your sheets I decided to give it a go. Needless to say, my white sheets were never the same!! I exfoliated beforehand and moisturised the dry areas (knees, elbows, etc.) and applied the tan as per the instructions and it still come out streaky and stained my sheets. Very disappointed with this product.

Finally, a fake tan that actually looks good and is good for you. After using fake tans sporadically over the years, I have never been much of a fan. They would always end up looking orange and patchy, despite all the best prep efforts. So into the bin they would go. I started using Eco Tan Winter Skin last year (that's a whole other review) and decided to purchase this to use during the summer to use when we holidayed at the beach and for special occasions. Well I just love it, and it has restored my faith in fake tans. It goes on nicely and develops into a nice honey colour (not a hint of orange in sight). It's easy to blend and doesn't get patchy around ankles, knees etc. I use the Eco Tan exfoliating glove to buff all over in the shower before I use this, and the two work wonderfully together. My sister-in-law asked if I had a spray tan when I first used this, and now she uses it too. The best part is that the ingredients are all natural, nothing nasty going on your skin.

After following Eco Tan on Instagram for a while and seeing the before and after shots of the tan I felt like I needed to give it a try! I was looking for a natural looking tan with no orange pay-off and this looked too good to pass up. I brought it from health 2000 for around $30-$40 (I think). As this tan develops over night I was concerned it was going to rub off on my sheets and I would get a streaky tan. I woke up pleasantly surprised that it was a nice natural colour and was not streaky at all! And a major bonus my sheets were tan free! The second time I applied this tan was a night before a wedding. I made a big mistake of applying way too much to my legs and I found out in the morning my legs were way to dark for my liking almost leading to orange! Wahh!! As there was not too much I could do I just had to roll with it with a few side glances from some people at my legs. But I learnt from this mistake and would repurchase this tan again.

One of the best Tanning products I have used. I love that it is organic and natural and doesn't contain nasties. A huge bonus is that it doesn't leave you with that awful tan smell the next day. The fact it's moisturising mean when you apply it, it goes on really smooth and doesn't leave you with the sticky, tight, drying feeling. It doesn't apply super dark which I also love, I get a nice rich tan after 1-2 coats and a nice deep tan after 2-3 coats. It's also vegan and cruelty free, which is super important when I choose any makeup item or skincare item. It definitely doesn't stain sheets either!

After all the hype and social media pictures Id seen on this brand I decided to purchase for my upcoming overseas trip (being Summer on the other side of the world and all) and all I can say is that it let me down in a big way. I have naturally fair skin but can wear a tan well and after THREE applications of Eco invisible tan I was only half way to wear my normal tanning cream would be after only ONE application - Invisible tan well, er, yes I guess it is. This made for such a time consuming process, when it shouldn't be (especially if on holiday). It still had the same tanning smell like all the others I've tried aswell.

I do like the fact that is organic and natural as we need to see more skincare in this category.

Since returning home I have already purchased my go-to tanning cream (Argania -NZ Made- Moroccan Tan $30 from Farmers 200ml) All in all, I am pleased I tried this tanning cream to get the 'fomo' out of my system. Social Media 1, Ash 0

The Eco Tan Invisible Tan is a not-quite-so-easy-to-use product that gives a beautiful, golden tan. I am totally sold on how natural this product is, and it is certainly the best fake tanner for those who are concerned about what they are putting on their skin.

I have very, very fair skin and I prefer a deep, golden tan, usually achieved with Bondi Sands Mousse in Dark. I like my tan to look 'natural' (as in, not green or orange) but also a lot darker than my natural skin tone. The Eco Tan Invisible Tan is different to the mousse products that I usually use. It applies like a thick moisturiser - completely clear. I'm not quite talented enough for this, and I prefer a tinted product with a colour guard so that I can see where I have missed a spot. I applied this product with a tanning mitt, but ended up having to use my hands, as it was almost like applying a shower gel onto dry skin. It began to lather up, and took a bit of work to get it settled into the skin. Once it was settled, it dried quickly. I apply my fake tan before bed, and this product promises not to stain sheets - a bonus for those who avoid fake tanning because of this.

After my shower the next morning, a soft yet deep, golden tan was revealed. It was a beautiful shade - completely natural but it still provided a decent difference from my natural skin tone. This is the best result I have had from a fake tan: not orange, not green, natural but not too light. I applied this tan to my legs, an area that usually ends up a mess, but it applied beautifully and did not cling to any dry patches. There was a bit of a mess around my feet, due to not being able to see the product when applying.

At this stage, this is not a product I will repurchase. As much as I love the tan that it provided, I can't handle the white patches where I think the product has reached, but it hasn't. I do however recommend this tan to anyone who is conscious of the products they apply. If you like gradual tanners, I highly recommend giving this a go. It gives the soft, natural glow and application of a gradual tanner, but you could apply it once or twice a week rather than every evening. It would also be great if you use gradual tanner but need a faster result.

I will continue to use this product as maintenance, over an already applied but fading fake tan. I may also try this on my face during Summer.

I'm not big on fake tan - I barely do it and I only get a spray tan maybe once a year. However I've decided to give it more of a go and heard Eco Tan was good so decided to try it out. I showered and shaved my legs prior to tanning. I started by applying the tanning lotion to my legs. I basically just moisturised all over, making sure it was rubbed in, and then did another coat. I did my arms too. I then went to sleep for 8 hours. I woke up with a really nice glowing tan - not too dark and not fake looking. It was quite even on my legs with only a couple of patches around my heels. It was more uneven on my arms and I had missed a few spots! Overall this is a good product, you just have to make sure you are applying it evenly.

Having loved my eco tan spray tans I thought I'd give the invisible tan a go...

It promised: organic moisturiser that nourishes your skin without any synthetics or toxic ingredients - I believe it did this and smelt amazing. Wake up to a rich brown town - maybe i had high expectations but it wasn't a rich brown tan, even when I did another application 2 days later. I used the exfoliating mit 24 hours prior and it was still streaky. I tried this product 3 times all with different amounts of product and with a proper process... it never delivered unfortunately.

No more home jobs for me spray tans are my life :)
