Shopping Writer Meghan has just found an affordable game-changing self-tan remover that stripped off her fake tan 'in a matter of minutes, with no scrubbing or scraping needed'
If there's one task I hate doing, it's taking my tan off when it's time to reapply. You have to spend an age scrubbing the tan off with exfoliants and gloves or brushes to remove all the dry skin and pigment to get that clean canvas ahead of your next application.
This is a long and boring process, but it can always be relatively painful - I suffer from sensitive skin and eczema, so a lot of rigorous scrubbing and exfoliating can leave my skin feeling raw and inflamed. That's why I've been looking for a top-notch tan remover that reduces, if not eliminates, the need to spend hours in the bathroom with harsh body scrubs. And I think I found the perfect one with an enticingly affordable price tag.
I will admit I picked this St Moriz Self Tan Removing Foam up on a whim, as it promises professional levels of tan removal for the low price of £4.99. I thought that at least if it didn't work, I hadn't spent a fortune. But this tan remover blew me away. No scrubbing or painful exfoliating required.
This foaming tan is incredible on so many levels. First, it's easy to apply; it's a foam that can easily be wiped across the skin but dries down incredibly fast, which makes it even more convenient to leave on for the instructed 5 minutes before jumping into the shower to rinse off. The seamless spread of the foam and super lightweight formula make it super convenient, whether you're removing tan from just one area or your whole body.
As I mentioned above, it's suggested you leave the remover on for a minimum of 5 minutes before you begin the removal process. I believe I left mine on for a few minutes longer, as this remover makes it super easy to carry on about your day while you're waiting for it to work its magic. When you're ready or the 5 minutes are up, hop into the shower or bath and begin rinsing.
You'll notice almost immediately that colour starts running off in the water, and it is noticeably lifted from the skin. With just the water pressure, some areas are already tan-free (though I imagine this happens more if you leave the remover on for longer, as I did).
Expecting to still need to scrub to get the majority of the tan off, I used my go-to pair of exfoliating gloves, which are available on Amazon. I simply had to wipe the gloves over the skin with very minimal pressure, and there was no need to scrub at each spot for a prolonged period of time.
I swiped a hand down my arm and boom, there's my pale, tan-less skin pretty much 100% back to normal. I noticed a couple of patches that needed a tad more attention, areas of dry skin from eczema, as well as the stubborn areas you'd expect, hands, feet, elbows and knees. By no means do you need to spend ages rubbing at them; it just requires a few more passes with the gloves or a brush. Even my armpits, one of the worst areas for refusing to let tan budge when you need to take it off, were super easy to restore, with very little effort required.
