Does anyone know what is in fake tan that I night be allergic to?
If I use it my face swells up and I feel sick. I get a headache and little red blisters seem to come up on my skin.
My worst reaction was to a st tropez tan, but I react to all of them.

Are you allergic to coconut??

I am and even without digesting it I get a pretty horrid reaction - check the labelling there may be coconut oil or something in it !

No im fine with coconut. I think it must be something to do with the ingredient that causes the chemical reaction in the skin.
It really annoys me cos the only way i can get a tan is on a sunbed! I used to use them a lot but im reluctant now because of the risks.
