Anybody have any experience with this? It's a natural oil from Morocco that apparently is REALLY good for the skin. I have a client who uses this and does regular spray tans. We've decided that the oil has to come off before the spray session - makes sense - but she uses it after first shower and found that it causes the tan to flake/fade quickly. It's a mystery because in my google searches I've found some spray solutions that contain argan oil so it must be ok to use, but maybe it's something in the oil that SHE buys that causes a problem? Any ideas out there?

Don't know about that one but I had a customer that used a hot tub after and said the spray tan bubbled off

I thought that was used in hair care products only?

I bet the water looked really nice after that!

It's very popular in hair care products. I have a family member from Morocco, and they use it for TONS of stuff. He said the Moroccan Oil that they sell at hair salons for about $40 only has a few drops of the pure oil in it, and you can probably get a gallon of the sutff from Morocco for the same price.

Ditto. Only heard for use with hair.

If you look in in the High Fashion Cest La Mode (Tan asu, Brown sugar) you will find Argon oil. Moroccan oil is the same thing as Argon oil only differant. Moroccan oil is brown. The people at brown sugar tell me that it is the latest and greatest thing.

Yes I saw that it was used a lot in hair, but a customer uses it on her skin and swears by it. More reading shows it has better antioxidant characteristics than Olive Oil and is fantastic for the skin. I also saw it as an ingredient in DS Luminary.

All that said, I found a spray solution that contains Argan Oil - it's from SluffWipes. Link here:

They have 4-5 other "professional" products as well as a line of other sunless stuff - exfoliants, etc. I've asked for some samples of the solutions to see what they're like. Has anyone else tried these and if so what success did you have with it?

i use morocan oil in my hair and it's great, haven't tried it on my skin

Now if I can just find out how well it works with spray tans ... my customer is highly interested, which makes me highly motivated.
