Why has the fomulation changed to something that creates an allegic reaction? Note I have tested the old and new products within a week of each other and this is very much the case. The old version caused no irritation and the new product causes a rash and intense itchy skin for a couple of days after exposure.

How long does it take to develop a tan with reef dark tan oil?
Tanning of our skin depends on our gene. Some people develop tan easily, some gets burned soon after. The principle here is know your skin type. Skin type 1 (sensitive skin, red hair, very fair, densed freckles) is likely to burn easily compare to skin type 4 which is classified as “rarely burns, tans easily, and substantially”. Ultimately only you alone can monitor and observe how your skin responds to the sun. Tanning oil only facilitates tanning process by attracting more UV rays but it doesn’t promise a tan. They say the cardinal rule to tanning is to never get burned! It also helps to remember that sometimes sunburn doesn’t show up after 4-5hrs post UVB exposure. So exercise prudence (take it easy) and practice sun exposure gradually. You can always use sunless tanning formula (if you need an instant tan) while you work on your biological tan. All the best!

How would you make your face the same coulour as your body If you can’t use the product on your face? Also how often should I tan if I want the tan to stay?

I’m 14 and Bondi sands tan a lot of I have fake tan on will the oil still work through the fake tan? And if I scrub off my fake tan will my natural tan from the oil come off?
The oil should still work through the fake tan as fake tan doesn’t offer any sun protection, although personally I’d scrub off fake tan before attempting to get a natural one. Natural tan from the oil won’t come off when you scrub as it’s the melanin in your skin giving you the colour. Also if your using the oil with no SPF use sunscreen!!!
is using tanning oil for extremely pale (pretty much white) with a pink undertone a bad idea? Will I get burnt? Can I wear sunscreen with it too???
im not too sure how it would work, as i have olive skin, but with sunscreen and if you use an spf version of the oil, it should work
Can you use reed oil (brown lid) whilst it’s sunny but only 10 degrees centigrade?
depends how strong the sun is, i’d assume the sun wouldn’t be that strong, therefore it would not give you a tan
Is reef tanning oil 30+ safe? - Safe from sun burn or sun cancer??
