Make uneven, streaky or patchy tans GO with tango™, the world's first tan removal cloth!

Blotchy, streaky or patchy tans are a thing of the past with the release of the revolutionary tango™ tan removal cloth. Re-usable, environmentally friendly and 100% Australian owned, tanGO™ is the must have and only sunless tanning accessory you need!

Designed in Australia by West Australian spray tan technician Jodi Bibra, and distributed in Australia exclusively through Summaglo/AVIVA LABS, tanGO™ is the world's first spray and self tan removal cloth...NO harsh chemicals, just add water! The polyamide cloth gently removes the tanning pigment from the surface of your skin without harsh scrubbing or the use of chemicals.

Women and men of all ages have always struggled with not only trying to keep their sunless tans fresh and flawless, but prevent build-up from multiple tans. Finally with tanGO™ you can remove tanning errors and avoid build-up from repeated tanning!

"I'm a confirmed 'tanaholic', and during my time in the industry I have heard many horror stories about sunless tans going wrong," says Jodi. "With this in mind I decided it was time to create a solution to removing sunless tans in a safe and easy way without using harsh chemicals or scrubbing your skin until it's red raw! I am passionate about keeping people out of our harsh Australian sun. I believe the look of being bronzed is here to stay, so we need to provide the best and safest alternative to tanning. I am proud to supply a great, reusable product in tanGO™ that ensures self tanning can be fun, flawless and not so scary!"

tanGO™ removes tanning errors and helps keep your tan looking perfect for longer. It is the first cloth designed to remove pigment-based tans such as sunless or spray tans, which is why Summaglo/AVIVA LABS co-owner Narelle Moyle fell in love with it:
"At Summaglo we have used other tan removal products which were either harsh on the skin, or chemically based. When we were introduced to tanGO we used it once and we were sold!!" States Narelle.
"We work with and distribute AVIVA LABS sunless tanning products whose motto is "Beauty Today. Health for Life" and tanGO absolutely fits this mantra. It does not contain chemicals, alcohols or rely on harsh fibres to 'erase' the tan, which really reinforces our Beauty Today. Health for Life motto. And the fact that it's reusable, in some cases up to 2 years, means we are offering our clients and stockists an affordable product of the highest quality."

But how does tanGO™ work?
tanGO™ is the perfect solution we have all been waiting for! It is as easy as WET ME, SQUEEZE ME, RUB ME.

There are many exfoliating products available on the market. The difference with tanGO™ is how gentle it is. It will not scratch your skin yet will evenly remove your tan.

After your shower, make sure your tanGO™ cloth is damp but not too wet. Starting with your ankles and feet, rub with a firm upwards motion. Continue with hips, arms and elbows followed by the rest of the body. Be gentle on the décolletage areas.

The result? No more orange hands and feet, just a perfect flawless tan.

How often can I use my tanGO™?
You can use your tanGO™ in the shower with shower gel or soap on a daily basis. The wetter your tanGO™, the less tan it will remove. Be sure to remember to be gentle with your tanGO™ and remember not to use on open cuts or wounds.

For occasional tanners, the life expectancy from your tanGO™ can be up to 2 years, however for the more prolific tanner, you could expect to replace your tanGO™ within 3-6 months.

When we were growing up we spent many hours at the beach fishing and swimming. We were oblivious to the dangers of the sun and what damage we were doing to our skin. On my eighth birthday I was dealt a very hard lesson about the dangers of the Australian sun. My mother missed my birthday party; she was in hospital having a melanoma cut out of her side. I remember her scar was long, angry and red. At this young age I was told it was caused from the sun, however I did not understand how fatal melanoma could be.

As a family we took a lot more care from then on. I entered the beauty industry at seventeen and worked hard to get my international diploma, before working in a pharmacy in the beauty department. I loved everything about makeup, tanning and hair - I was in heaven. It was here that I meet Kaylene Anderson, who ended up being my business partner years later in the tanning industry.

When I was nineteen my mother became ill again. The melanoma had returned but this time in the lining of her lung. This time they couldn't operate. After intense sessions of chemo and radiation she lost the battle just eight months later. This was the hardest time of my life. I watched powerless as the most important person in my life slipped away.

What caused such a painful loss? The sun. Who would have guessed looking bronzed and healthy could ravage a happy and well person. It took a very long time to move on from this loss and I feel the pain of having no mother everyday. My children have never known a grandmother and I just miss my mum.

I continued in the beauty industry, as a representative and trainer for a cosmetics company. After I had my second child in 2002, Kaylene introduced me to the world of spray tanning. She had just purchased the rights to a company to distribute their product. I immediately agreed to join her in the business.

I had vowed to keep myself out of the sun, however I loved being bronzed and had struggled with self-tanning creams, gels, and mousses for years.

I also loved the thought that I could be keeping others out of the harmful UV rays but still allowing them to have flawless tans.

On the first day on the road to sell this great product, we stumbled across a cute little shop in George Street, East Fremantle. By the end of the day we had signed the lease, and Tanning HQ was born. We had great success and were named best tanners in Perth, by Perth Woman, STM and even Cleo.

In the five years we had this business learnt an awful lot about tanning. I saw many clients like my mother who had melanomas removed and were not allowed in the sun again. I was so happy to be providing a service to keep all of these people out of the sun.

However even with this safe tanning we had a common complaint - "I can't get my tan off to have a new one!" I would see clients with so much build up from over tanning, including brides ringing in a frenzy that had applied their own tan and had made mistakes. Clients used everything and anything to remove build up and errors. Toothpaste, Napisan, even Jiff!! There needed to be a safer, less harsh or harmful solution. After three years of market research, tango™ was born.

Tanning HQ closed its doors in 2008, and I have lived and breathed tango™ ever since.

I have put many days and nights into creating my dream. tango™ allows everyone to achieve a perfect tan without stepping into the sun. If I can keep young girls out of the UV rays and possibly save a life, I will know that all my hard work has been worth it!
