'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.

The moment Prince William acted as a 'human shield' between feuding Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, according to body language expert
All eyes were on the Royal Family as they watched, united on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, a historic flypast to mark a century of the Royal Air Force. The Queen led a day of national celebrations on July 10, 2018, which saw 100 aeroplanes, one for each year of the RAF, glide over the iconic balcony. Earlier, more than 2,200 people attended a Westminster Abbey service, including the then prime minister Theresa May, secretary of state for defence Gavin Williamson and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. After the service, the family met veterans, personnel, charity representatives and members of the civil service. And, while all seemed smooth-sailing on the surface, looking back to that day, eagle-eyed royal observers have noticed a potential early sign that not all was well between Meghan and Kate at the Westminster service. As Kate, with Meghan behind her, greets the Dean of Westminster, The Very Reverend Dr John Hall, Prince William steps in between them. Body language expert Judi James told MailOnline: 'Superficially, and with the benefit of hindsight, now that we know about the tricky relationship between Meghan and Kate, this looks very much like a devoted and protective husband strategically and very pointedly stepping between his wife and her nemesis in the form of a human shield. 'William's body language shows he is clearly aware that Harry and Meghan have honed into position behind him and he immediately ducks his head to move to stand next to his wife, even sucking his lips inward in what is often a signal of regret.' The encounter came months after Meghan and Kate allegedly clashed over bridesmaids dresses at Meghan's wedding. While accounts of what happened vary, initial reports suggested that Meghan had made Kate cry during a disagreement over Princess Charlotte's outfit - which the Suits actress later denied. In his book, Yes, Ma'am: The Secret Life Of Royal Servants, Tom Quinn claims both women were 'really upset' by the incident. A former member of staff told the author: 'The truth is that during the discussions about the bridesmaid's dress, Meghan said a few things she regretted and Kate said a few things she later regretted but it was all in the heat of the moment. 'Both women were crying their eyes out!' The unnamed employee went on to explain that the incident was 'subtly altered' and 'made more significant than it really is' by the media. This resulted in the disagreement becoming a 'marker for all the other problems that Meghan had with Kate and with William and other members of the family'. However, Meghan gave a different version of events in her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021. She insisted that she was the one who had been hurt in the exchange, not Kate. Meghan explained that Kate was upset about something, but later took responsibility, apologised, and even brought her flowers. 'It wasn't a confrontation,' Meghan said. 'I don't think it's fair to her to get into the details of that, because she apologised. 'What was hard to get over was being blamed for something that, not only I didn't do, but that happened to me. 'And the people who were part of our wedding were going to our comms team and saying, "I know this didn't happen. I don't have to tell them what actually happened".' The discussion served as yet another example of the late Queen's famous phrase, 'recollections may vary', which she famously used in response to the comments made by Harry and Meghan during the Oprah interview that an unnamed member of the family raised the issue of how dark their unborn baby Archie's skin would be while Meghan she was pregnant. Though the bridesmaids dress incident continues to be disputed, it remains one of the most talked-about moments leading up to the Sussexes' wedding - and a lingering factor in the family's rift. William, Charles and Harry are pictured in an official portrait in the gardens of Buckingham Palace ahead of RAF 100 commemorations on July 10, 2018 The body language expert offered an alternative explanation to William's body language at the RAF event. Judi said: 'There is a spatial gap between William and Meghan that doesn't really show at this angle. 'When the royals greet their hosts at services like this, there is something of a royal queue with gaps that can turn into a log jam if a royal keeps chatting, as Kate often can. 'Meghan was new to the royal Firm and William's body language to this point had shown him being friendly and welcoming. 'This movement and change of position could be the kind of adjustment you make to the position of a group at a party when someone new comes to join in. 'It is rude to keep your back to the newcomer as it is a sign of rejection. So, we often shuffle to ensure we encompass the new arrival. 'Meghan would not have been allowed to join William and Kate here as the pecking order is firm, but it would be completely conceivable for a very polite William to move in to place to ensure his back is not turned against her as she arrived behind him. 'He does move back as soon as the procession takes off so that his and Kate's backs are naturally and inevitably turned to Harry and his wife. At the time of the Royal Foundation forum, Harry said 'working as family does have its challenges', but insisted 'we're stuck together for the rest of our lives' Bridesmaid dress-gate! How reports of Kate and Meghan arguing ahead of wedding unfolded May 2018 - Meghan Markle and Prince Harry tie the knot in St George's Chapel in Windsor The bridesmaids, including Jessica Mulroney's daughter Ivy and Princess Charlotte, have bare legs November 2018 - The Telegraph's royal editor Camilla Tominey wrote she had 'spoken to two separate sources who claim Kate was left in tears following a bridesmaids dress fitting for Princess Charlotte' May 2020 - Tatler reports the two argued over protocol of the young bridesmaids wearing tights or having bare legs March 2021 - Meghan confirms there was a disagreement in her bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview, but she says it was actually the Duchess of Cambridge who made her cry Royal expert Katie Nicholl says Kate 'never wanted' reports of a rift to come out in the press and has found the situation 'mortifying' January 2023: Harry's memoir reveals new rifts between the Sussexes and William and Kate 'It is conceivable that William was trying to be polite to Meghan here, although it is also equally conceivable that he might turn himself into something of a buffer between the two women as he did so if he was aware of any friction.' While the Sussexes did not step down from the Royal Family until 2020, there had been signs of discord between the brothers and their partners even before the wedding. In his book Spare, Harry detailed how Meghan asked to borrow lipgloss from Kate ahead of their appearance at the first Royal Foundation forum summit in February 2018. He wrote that Kate was surprised, but rummaged around in her bag before offering it to Meghan. He claimed that Meghan applied a little gloss to her finger and rubbed it across her lips before Kate made a 'disgusted' face. The summit marked the first official appearance of the 'Fab Four' to announce that Meghan would become the fourth patron of the Royal Foundation. At the time, Harry said 'working as family does have its challenges', but insisted 'we're stuck together for the rest of our lives'. But according to reports, it was an 'awkward' affair as Meghan took up the majority of the airtime, which apparently did not sit well with Kate. There is a litany of reasons why the brothers and their partners no longer see eye to eye, but tensions between Meghan and Kate were certainly an aggravating factor. As reports of peace talks made recent headlines, many royal observers hope that this could be a sign of reconciliation between the Sussexes and the Royal Family.

Neighbours and Coronation Street legends unite for new 'twisted' drama
Neighbours icon Jackie Woodburne is set to join forces with Coronation Street royalty Kym Marsh in a new Channel 5 drama. The prospect of not having Ramsay Street favourite and acting powerhouse Jackie on our screens isn't worth thinking about – and thankfully we don't have to as the Susan Kennedy star is already preparing for her new role just weeks after wrapping production on the Aussie soap for the second time. And as for Kym, who is reportedly stepping away from her Nicky Walters role in Waterloo Road, fans won't have to wait long to see her again. The soap titans have joined the cast of Imposter, a new four-part drama set in Australia that will see a family at war over a hotel when mum Helen refuses to sell up, despite her children demanding that she does so. The soapy plot twists and turns follow, with Helen having had a secret daughter named Amanda, who she gave up for adoption decades earlier. When Amanda unexpectedly shows up, Helen is delighted – but this is the just the beginning of what's set to unfold. The official synopsis tells us: 'The lucrative hotel is the ultimate prize and a twisted scheme soon spirals into betrayal and ultimately, murder.' Consider us intrigued and excited already. The show will be filmed in Victoria, and at the Fremantle Studios in Nunawading this summer. That means that we may well see some familiar Neighbours locations pop up! Just three years ago, Neighbours was axed by Channel 5, though returned to screens in 2023 when Amazon's ad-supported free service Freevee swooped in to rescue it. The daily escapades of Erinsborough residents thrilled fans for another two years before the decision was made by Amazon (in the wake of Freevee's closure) not to renew Neighbours for another season. Production wrapped on the long-running Aussie soap – a staple of daytime TV in the UK for 40 years – earlier this month, with the final episode slated to drop on December 11th. Discussing her time on the serial, Jackie said: 'It's impossible to measure the gratitude I feel for the gift of 30 years on Neighbours. More Trending 'To do so I would have to calculate the number of extraordinary cast and crew I have been privileged to work with, count the number of laughs I have shared with them, measure the pride I feel for the diverse, dramatic (and sometimes outrageous!) storytelling we have all been a part of. 'We are the best version of 'family'. It has been a wild ride into a happy life. [I] wouldn't change it for quids!' View More » This article was originally published on 21st July 2025.
