Coco&Eve’s Tan Boosting Anti-Ageing Body Oil SPF50 is designed to help your tan last longer as well as boost your natural tan and protect against UVA and UVB rays
With the sunshine beating down more regularly, thanks to the heatwave, achieving a radiant, sun-kissed look tops many people’s summer beauty to-do list, especially for those who have upcoming social engagements.
However, while we all yearn for that golden glow, it’s equally crucial to shield ourselves from the sun’s damaging rays. Its why fake tan and SPF-infused body oils are popular – and safe – choices for beauty fans and, if heading off on holiday, one of the savviest pre-holiday purchases you can make.
Coco&Eve has been a high-flying name in the fake-tan industry, providing unreal results since 2018, with the brand’s much-loved Sunny Honey Bali Bronzing Foam (£26) selling like hotcakes – one every 20 seconds. Now, the brand has taken things up a notch with its latest offering: the Tan Boosting Anti-Ageing Body Oil SPF50 (£29).

This body oil delivers sun protection and works to boost the depth of your natural tan for a radiant glow.
When it comes to holiday prep, most of us hate feeling pasty and pale, especially at the thought of squeezing into a swimsuit. We suggest applying the Bali Bronzing Foam or the Sun-Kissed Gradual Tan Lotion a few days before your getaway to give a natural, sun-kissed glow that’ll certainly boost confidence.
Once your tan has developed, use the Body Oil daily to hydrate skin and maintain that fresh-from-the-beach look. It’ll help extend the life of your tan while giving skin a glossy, healthy sheen.
If you fancy a bit of sun-worshipping, make sure to slather on the oil liberally before catching rays as it’s filled with SPF50. And remember, after basking in the glorious sunshine, top off your skin care with a calming after-sun or some cooling aloe vera gel.
With summer in our midst, now is a good time to stock up on sun-protection and thankfully, there’s a whole host of other SPF-infused body oils out there ready to enhance your lustre. Take NUXE’s Sun Tanning Oil for £24, brimming with plant extracts and vitamin E for that smooth, glowing skin, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Alternatively, the Fox Tan Rapid Elixir comes with glowing endorsements from Fashion and Beauty Editor Rachel Pugh. Marked down to just £19.99 from its usual £24.99 at Look Fantastic, this potion is crafted to prime your skin for sun exposure and is perfect for daily use or a three to five-day period leading up to your sunny escape.
Despite being new, this innovative Coco&Eve Body Oil is quickly garnering reviews as glowy as its tan. One fan raved: “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.
“It comes in a nice scent, and with the pump applicator, there is more control over the product, and it doesn’t spray everywhere. I will reach for it in the future for my time in the sun.”
Someone else showered the tan oil in praise and said: “It gave my skin a beautiful glow without feeling greasy. It’s incredibly hydrating, perfect for my ageing skin, and the added sun protection is a bonus. A new staple in my skincare routine.”
So far, nobody has given it a poor rating aside from one shopper who warned that, after continuous use over three days, the SPF30 option led to a ‘heat rash’.
That being said, a devotee of the SPF50 version shared: “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: “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 finally found my dream product.”
The Sunny Honey Tan Boosting Anti-Aging Body Oil SPF50 is available at Coco & Eve for £29.
