'This St Moriz self-tan remover took my tan off in minutes without the need for scrubbing'
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.

Prince Harry caught 'mansplaining' to Meghan in private moment exposed by lip reader
A lip reader has claimed that Prince Harry was 'mansplaining' to Meghan Markle during her first Trooping the Colour appearance in 2018, making for a 'tense' moment on the Palace balcony Prince Harry was spotted "mansplaining" to his wife Meghan Markle during her debut at Trooping the Colour in 2018, a lip reader has exposed. A new documentary assembled various lip readers to examine some of the most prominent royal occasions over the years, revealing their interpretation of what Royal Family members were saying during these seemingly private moments. One such instance occurred in summer 2018, when the Duchess of Sussex made her inaugural Trooping the Colour appearance, just weeks after marrying Prince Harry. In Channel 5's new feature-length programme, Lip-Reading the Royals: The Secret Conversations, lip reader Nicola Hickling examined what might have unfolded between the newlyweds. As the Royal Family assembled on the Buckingham Palace balcony to observe the customary RAF flypast, the Duke seemed to be briefing his wife on what would take place. Ms Hickling revealed that Harry was explaining "to her what is going to happen and that Paras will be flying overhead," employing "hand motions" before his wife responded "ok". However, a royal expert criticised the Duke for his behaviour and branded him guilty of "mansplaining" to his spouse. Christo Foufas remarked: "The lip readers have exposed him mansplaining to her what a flypast." Elsewhere in the documentary, experts analysed Harry and Meghan's attendance at the Remembrance Sunday service in November 2018, as a clip from the service shows Harry and Meghan deep in conversation, with Ms Hickling providing her interpretation of their exchange. At the start of the Sussexes' chat, the expert suggests Meghan is advising her husband: "Take advantage of the situation," to which he queries, "Today?" She then instructs, "Do it tonight." As their discussion progresses, Harry leans closer to Meghan, asking, "You do realise that this is the end?" to which Meghan promptly confirms, "Yes, I do know." It is then suggested in the documentary by royal historian Dr Tessa Dunlop that the seemingly private comments between the Sussexes could mean that the couple had been plotting their dramatic exit from the royal family years before they actually decided to call it quits.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry 'haven't been axed by Netflix after brutal calculation'
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's whopping £75m deal with Netflix could apparently open the door for a new deal to be negotiated - for a very specific reason The future of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex 's £78million mega-deal with Netflix is hanging in the balance, with a PR expert claiming it has also reignited talk of trouble within their marriage. The Duchess' much-derided TV show, With Love, Meghan, has proved a spectacular flop, ranking at a lowly 383 in the platform's most-watched titles between January and June 2025. The wholesome series – which has pulled in just 5.3million viewers worldwide since it was first broadcast in March – showed Meghan cooking, gardening and hosting A-list pals. But in an embarrassing blow, it was outperformed by hundreds of lesser-known shows in the first six months of this year – including repeats of Meghan's old TV drama, Suits, in which she starred before meeting Harry. What happens next in the royals' relationship with the streaming giant is the subject of much conjecture. But PR expert Dermot McNamara believes Netflix won't sever ties with the Sussexes just yet, as they will want first dibs on that explosive first interview, should the couple ever divorce. 'The fairytale narrative has stalled, their creative output hasn't delivered consistent returns and audiences are increasingly sceptical,' Dermot tells us. 'There are only so many chances Netflix can take on them, before they're just wasting money for the sake of it. 'But Netflix knows that if cracks appear, or if the couple split, there'll be global demand for the inside story. That's when their value skyrockets again.' Dermot believes Netflix will want to be 'at the front of the queue' should the couple eventually go their separate ways. 'The sense in industry circles is that Netflix haven't cut ties with Harry and Meghan entirely because, frankly, they might be sitting on the most valuable content of all: the fallout,' he says. 'Rumours of their Netflix contract not being renewed when it runs out in September is a quiet signal that the platform is no longer banking on them as creative talent, but they're keeping the relationship warm. Why? Because if the Sussex marriage ever unravels, it would be the streaming coup of the decade. It's a brutal calculation, but this is Hollywood.' Sadly, it's not the first time that Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, have faced rumours that their seven-year marriage is on the rocks. If anything, the rumblings that all is not well have only intensified in recent times, as the couple have increasingly pursued separate work agendas. Last December, Harry addressed the speculation head on, joking that it was 'hard to keep up with' the allegations made on social media. 'Apparently we've bought or moved houses 10, 12 times,' he said at The New York Times' DealBook Summit. 'We've apparently divorced maybe 10, 12 times as well. So it's just like, what?' Right now, however, Meghan appears to have nothing but praise for her husband and regularly speaks glowingly of their union. During her first-ever podcast interview on The Jamie Kern Lima Show in April, she was asked if she believes that she and Harry will 'be married forever'. Meghan responded, 'Yes. He's also a fox, if you haven't noticed. My husband's very, very handsome. But his heart is even more beautiful. There's something that is not to be taken for granted when you have a partner and a spouse who is just so behind you. "You know, I mean, H, that man loves me so much. And you know, look what we built. We've built a beautiful life, and we have two healthy, beautiful children [Archie and Lilibet].'

Stanley have collaborated with football legend Lionel Messi in a second collection - and fans can't get enough of it Stanley's latest collaboration has sports fans excited, as the bestselling water bottle brand have teamed up with Argentine football player Lionel Messi. The Messi x Stanley 1913 collection includes five of Stanley's popular products, all reimagined in a pale blue colourway called Messi Striker Blue and embossed with a lightening bolt in a gold finish and Messi's '10' signature. Shoppers can choose from the iconic Quencher ProTour Flip Straw Tumbler, the IceFlow FLip Straw 2.0 bottle, the Classic Mate Mug, High Precision Flow Mate System and the IceFlow Flip Straw Jug.

From names to logos and graphics, it's a free way to make a Stanley product completely unique and could work well as a gift. Sharing the collaboration news on the Stanley Instagram, the brand wrote: "From Roasario to the world. The next chapter of Messi x Stanley 1913 continues - bold blue, striking gold and built with the pride of a nation. Designed for legends. Made for every day." Following the success of Messi's first collection with Stanley, it's no surprise that the new drop has been met with anticipation. One person left a comment that says 'this is so exciting' another wrote 'the perfect colour I want'. A third shared that they 'love the colour' of this 'unreal collab', and a fourth hailed it 'the perfect aesthetic'. Messi x Stanley 1913 Quencher® ProTour Flip Straw Tumbler | 1.2L £60 Stanley Shop the range Product Description Among the excitement, someone was left disappointed with the price point, sharing 'so cool, I want one but prices are a joke'. Alternatively, a 750ml Ocean Bottle retails for £40, compared to the £45 700ml IceFlow Flip Straw 2.0 Bottle. Those that prefer the 'original' Stanley tumbler design, like the £60 Quencher Tumbler, might be interested in the Owala Travel Tumbler, stocked at Amazon for £36.99. It comes in four colours and holds slightly less water than Stanley's 1.2 litre tumbler, with a 1.185 litre capacity.

One person left a review that says: "I am obsessed with this tumbler! The 1.2L size is perfect for keeping me hydrated throughout the day, whether I'm at my desk, in the car, or at the gym. The flip straw is super convenient and leak-proof, which is a huge win for someone always on the go. I also love how sturdy and high-quality it feels — classic Stanley durability! The handle makes it easy to carry around, and it keeps my water ice-cold for hours. Honestly, I didn't think I could love a tumbler this much." Those that prefer hot beverages might find the Classic Mug Mate of interest. Double-wall vacuum insulation keeps any brew at the ideal temperature. The full collection is now available on Stanley's website, with prices starting at £35.
