'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.

My £45 two-tone watch looks just like Zara Tindall's £11.7k Rolex
I found the best lookalike for Zara Tindall's go-to £11.7k Rolex watch that you can pick up for just £45, and the two-tone gold and silver timepiece nails quiet luxury on a budget Over the years Zara Tindall has worn quite an impressive range of luxury watches, many of which happen to be from one of the most coveted timepiece brands in the world; Rolex. The equestrian and Royal became a Rolex Testimonee prior to winning individual gold at the World Equestrian Games in 2006 in Aachen, and has since been spotted in several Rolex watches, including the two-tone Lady-Datejust which comes with a huge £11,700 price tag. Whilst I'm a big fan of Zara's collection, I definitely won't be affording a Rolex of my own anytime soon, which is why I was quick to snap up Sekonda's Classic Ladies 26mm Francis Watch in Two Tone when I saw it. Priced at just £44.99, the watch embodies the classic, timeless (pardon the pun) luxury look of Zara's designer wrist watch, without the hefty price tag. The Sekonda watch has a slightly more slimline design compared to Zara's Rolex, with a narrower strap and smaller dial. However it sticks to a similar design with a two-tone gold and silver metal bracelet, pale gold face and gold surround. Obviously the Sekonda Francis Watch isn't made from the same materials, swapping the 18ct gold and diamonds for a stainless steel alloy and crystals, hence the much more affordable price tag. However the Sekonda watch still reflects the elegance and sophistication of the designer version, with crystals in place of numbers around the face and gold-coloured accents including the dial surround and winder. The watch is also super lightweight and comfortable to wear, and you can barely feel it on your wrist. The clasp can be a little fiddly to unlatch at first, but after a few wears it loosens up and becomes easy to do one handed, and closes super securely so you don't need to worry about it popping open while you wear it. It's currently available for £44.99 on Amazon, or you can get a different colourway at Freemans, which swaps the gold face for a silver one whilst maintaining the two-tone bracelet strap, although it doesn't have the crystals around the edge. Alternatively you can pick up an all-silver version direct from the Sekonda website for £39.99, which looks just like mine but without any gold details. Alternatively, you can pick up the Mini Two Tone Pearl Link Belgravia 23 Watch at Abbott Lyon for £149. This watch features a two-tone gold and silver metal strap, in-laid crystals around the face, and has a pearl-effect dial, giving it a premium, high end look. However I couldn't be happier with my Classic Ladies 26mm Francis Watch in Two Tone from Sekonda. They also stock plenty of other great designer alternatives, letting you get that quiet luxury look on a budget.
