The common misconception is that how long your tan lasts is based on the application and the tanning product used. This isn’t the sole reason. The products you use and how you look after your skin are hugely influential factors.
How you take care of your skin before and after your tanning application has a massive effect on how well your tan will last and look. The biggest factor for your consideration is the soaps and shampoos that you are using. Our range of vegan soaps and vegan shampoo bars can help.
Certain ingredients found within some bathing products can directly harm your tan. They do this by rubbing it off and through the washing process they can deeply exfoliate your skin and remove your tan faster.
As fake tan only covers the top layer of your skin. It makes sense that as you’re scrubbing away in the shower or bath. That you are in essence scrubbing away and removing your tan at the same time, which is not ideal.
Our Oschen vegan soap bars and vegan shampoos bars are natural and vegan made. Unlike other soaps and shampoos we guarantee no nasties or chemicals are used.
So Why Is This Important When It Comes To Fake Tan?
Well, the chemicals found within other soaps and shampoos can leave a residue on your skin. Even after you have rinsed and towel dried. This residue can prevent products being applied to your skin from working properly. They instantly create a barrier and prevent them from absorbing into your skin correctly.

Oschen [oh-shuhn] is a friendly family run vegan friendly and plastic free soap company that supplies handmade British soap bars to families just like ours across the UK. If you are passionate about the planet and animals, you are in great company with us as all our soaps are plastic and cruelty free. We were encouraged by our sons, Oscar and Henry to reduce single-use plastics in our home. The boys challenged us to reduce the number of shampoo bottles and shower gels that we took into the shower. As a result of this, we started buying soap bars instead. After our first soap bar, we were hooked! We reduced our weekly waste while doing our bit for the environment whilst staying clean, shiny and smelling great. From this, we created Oschen to bring vegan friendly and plastic free soap bars to you.
