As snow blankets Birmingham, a high street bargain is helping Brits reclaim a summer radiance without the sun. Boots reports that its top-selling online fake tan, the St Moritz Professional Medium Tanning Mousse, is flying off the virtual shelves for just £4.99.
Shoppers Rave About 'Golden' Winter Glow
The 200ml mousse promises to deliver a natural-looking "golden" tan, a claim enthusiastically backed by customer reviews. Formulated with skin-friendly ingredients like Aloe Vera and Vitamin E, it aims to provide colour while keeping skin smooth. An instant colour guide makes it a viable option for tanning novices.
One delighted shopper labelled it "the best I have ever used," praising its affordability and longevity. "It doesn't have a horrible smell and the colour isn't orange or too dark (even on my ghostly skin)," they added, noting it dries quickly and doesn't transfer onto clothes.
How to Achieve the Perfect Application
For the best results, St Moritz advises exfoliating and shaving 24 hours before application and using a tanning mitt. Boots offers budget-friendly accessories, including exfoliating gloves for £2 and a Boots Glow Velvety Tan Mitt for £2.99. Many reviewers emphasised the importance of pre-tan exfoliation for an even, streak-free finish.
Another review highlighted the product's ease of use: "Great Product. Apply the coloured mousse with ease. Has a pleasant smell. Rinse off for a golden tan. Lasts quite well. Would recommend."
A Sun-Kissed Solution for Fair Skin
The tan has proven particularly popular with those who have fair complexions. One user with "really fair porcelain like skin" said the mousse left them with a "lovely sun kissed colour" that applied smoothly and evenly. "I’ll definitely be carrying on buying the St Moritz tanning products in future!" they confirmed.
While Boots holds the current budget champion, other retailers like Amazon also offer popular tanning lines, such as the Bondi Sans Self Tanning Foam, though at a higher price point of £12.35.
In the depths of a cold January, this affordable beauty find is providing a much-needed morale and complexion boost for shoppers across the UK.
