A FORMER carpenter and his wife say they are raking in £1million a month thanks to their tanning oil business.

Married couple Dave and Laura Osterloo had no experience in the beauty industry before they launched Bali Body, and they now sell a product every 45 seconds worldwide.

Bali Body was created in 2014 and has since taken the skincare world by storm after selling natural tanning oils that are suitable for all skin types.

Now their tanning items are sold in 150 countries around the globe and the company has racked up 1.3 million followers on Instagram.

The Melbourne-based couple were inspired to create the brand due to Laura, 32, suffering from eczema and sensitive skin.

Laura, who previously worked in insurance, realised there was a gap in the market for self-tanners for people in her position, and set out to create a suitable product.

The couple were living in Bali at the time, and how to learn how to start a business from scratch.

They aimed to spread the word of their brand by partnering with the likes of models Gabby Epstein and Belle Lucia.

But it certainly wasn’t all plain-sailing at the start – and their products initially leaked during transit and they had to offer refunds.

Dave told News.com.au: “We had thousands of orders and there was a lot of leaking, so you can imagine the stress levels. We had to scramble to get a solution for that.

“We were finding our feet, so it was a steep learning curve, working around the clock trying to keep our customers happy.”

Their persistence paid off, and they currently have seven staff members working for the brand.

Dave and Laura have now moved back to Melbourne and say their social media strategy has paid off.

Their £25.95 Face Tan Water was so popular that it sold every 30 seconds on the launch day.

Dave said he is immensely proud of what he has achieved with his wife.

He commented: “We both come from completely different fields — I was a carpenter and Laura was in insurance — and we both had no background in business or beauty.

“We taught ourselves everything we needed to know, and we’re still learning today. I’m really proud we’ve been able to achieve that.

“We were passionate about making it work from day one, and we had so many orders coming in and so much demand we had no choice but to figure it out for ourselves quickly.”

The Bali Body website says: “We're committed to using natural and naturally-derived ingredients.

“Proudly Australian and vegan-friendly, all products are strictly tested on Bali Body babes.”
