Superdrug Solait Self Tan Mousse Medium – £4.79 (was £5.99) – Buy Now
- Tester: Abby Wilson, Senior Fabulous Digital Writer
- Review: “This product give a very natural looking tan and if you wanted something a bit bolder, I’d suggest leaving it on longer or choosing a darker shade. I’m impressed with the results, but now my entire room stinks of the stuff. If you’re on a budget and want a tan for last-minute plans, I would say this is one to try. “
bBold Dream Mousse Tan in Dark – £9.50 – Buy Now
- Tester: Josie O’Brien, Senior Fabulous Digital Writer
- Review: “The first thing that hit me about this tan was the “juicy watermelon” scent – it’s delicious. I was left with a natural bronze hue rather than orange glow. My only qualm is that the tan seemed to stick to my dry patches and accentuated ‘strawberry skin’ on my legs. I’m still adding this tan to my arsenal though – the smell, colour and texture are dreamy.”
St Moriz Professional Medium Tanning Mousse – £4.99 – Buy Now
- Tester: Kate Kulniece, Fabulous Writer
- Review: “Not only does St. Moriz mousse leave you with a gorgeous bronzed glow, but it also smells fabulous – think Piña Colada on a sunny beach. At first, I was a little bit sceptical cause I’m a gradual fake tan girlie, but this quick developing St. Moriz number may change it all.”

How to achieve the perfect glow
Looking to step up your fake tan game? Nadine recommended first showering the night before to get rid of any leftover antiperspirant, as the tan ”will discolour with an antiperspirant”.
She told the hosts and viewers: ”Moisturise the skin first, it doesn’t like an aluminium-based antiperspirant.
”Moisturise particularly dry areas, get yourself a mitt, get yourself a mousse with a guide colour.
”Apply it all over and at the very last minute with what’s left of the mousse – elbows, knees, ankles and hands, anywhere where it’ll drip to dry skin.”
She joked: ”And the secret to a happy marriage is never ask your husband to do between your shoulder blades.”
