Finally a salon spray tan is achievable at home. Australia’s first, professional quality, take-home self tanner has been launched this week, just in time for Spring racing and Summer, and will officially support the Clare Oliver Melanoma Fund.

The Rococo Body Professional Tanning Kit is the first to use a gas cylinder to provide the same micro-mist tan technology that salons use, with all sales supporting Clare Oliver’s fund in an effort to promote safe tanning and assist with melanoma research.

It is the only kit on the market that provides a salon system for use at home, including a gas cylinder, refillable tanning solution and spray applicator. The solution contains 100 per cent pure tanning solution with no bulking agents or fillers, which results in a more even, longer lasting tan.

The Rococo Body Professional Tan Kit is available to purchase online for $69.95 (inc GST). The solution is available in Regular and Dark. It only takes seven-10 minutes to apply and two-five minutes to set. The 250ml solution provides between three-four full body tanning applications (working out to $8-10 per tan) and refills are available for $40 and under.

Please visit: www.rococobody.com.au or phone 1300 135 993. The kit can be purchased online.

You can also visit: www.clareolivermelanomafund.org. The Clare Oliver Melanoma Fund has been established to honour the courage and bravery of Clare Oliver. 100% of proceeds from the fund will be directed to Melanoma research, focusing on research collaborations between leading melanoma research and treatment centres.

WHAT WE THOUGHT

We hope the dangers of solariums and sunbaking are now clear, and that you are choosing to ‘slip slop slap’ and protect your skin. A beautiful golden glow is so tempting, which is why we will continue to bring you safe and effective ways that you can achieve this.

The latest product to hit the shelves is the Rococo Body Professional Tan Kit, which uses a similar strategy to a salon spray on tan. The best thing about this kit is, once applied you will see the tanning bronzer on your skin. This makes it easy to tell if you have missed any areas.

At first I tried to apply it to myself, but found I needed a friend to do it for me. The applicator needs to be held in a certain position and can be awkward without assistance, and of course the back would be difficult too.

It doesn’t take long to apply, and dries quickly. The colour is just like a professional spray tan, a lovely brown that isn’t orange. The tan lasted quite a few days, and as with any tanning I found that preparation was essential.

I would recommend this to readers, especially those who like to tan regularly as it is excellent value for money with great results.

What’s more is that by choosing this product you will be supporting a fantastic charity.
