Boots sale drops 'streak free' £22 self tan 'perfect for pale skin' to just £10
Beauty fans don't have long to take advantage of Boots' deal on this "best fake tan."
Finding a flawless self-tan at the best of times can be difficult. However, for those with a pale skin type, it can pose an even more difficult challenge.
Not only can they often look fairly streaky on a lighter skin tone, but they can also show up any hint of orange. However, one product that beauty buffs have ranked as "the best" is the Skinny Tan Self-Tanning Mousse - and it's currently on offer.
High street firm Boots is back with its popular online £10 Tuesday deals. And included today, May 13, is the popular self-tanner that often retails at £21.99, allowing shoppers to save £11.99 - but only today.
It is worth noting that, while the health and beauty chain's website still stocks the brand name as Skinny Tan, it has since been rebranded as Skin & Tan, which means shoppers could receive either packaging but have been assured it is the same product.
According to the brand itself, this is its "most foolproof tan" that is suitable for beginners and experienced users. Its light and airy mousse formula has been infused with the firm's Skinny Tan Technology that leaves a "streak free" glow that will fade evenly.
Formulated with a coconut and vanilla scent to banish that dreaded 'biscuit smell', this "fast drying" and "non sticky" formula also incorporates natural aloe vera and caffeine-rich guava to leave skin feeling hydrated and moisturised.

Product Description
An alternative for beauty fans unsure about the mousse formula is the Garnier Ambre Solaire Natural Bronzer Self-Tan Body Mist that is currently half-price on Amazon. It is now £6.25 after being dropped from £12.50.
Meanwhile, one of the most popular mousse formula self-tanners on the market is the Coco & Eve Bali Bronzing Foam that can now be bought for 20 per cent less on Lookfantastic.
Boots shoppers who have bought the Skinny Tan Self-Tanning Mousse have left it glowing reviews, as they say that its formula "glides on like silk" and is "so easy to apply."
One Boots shopper who said the mousse is "perfect for pale skin" also wrote: "The new formula of this glides on like silk.. I use a mitt and it's never streaky and no fake tan smell whatsoever!
"It is a bit sticky straight after you've applied it but I just use some talcum powder to dry some areas and it works perfectly. I don't mind a bit of stickiness because I love the colour so much.
"The guide colour may look a bit ashy at first but give it 6-8 hours to develop (preferably overnight) and you will be delighted with the outcome. I use the medium colour because I want it to look as natural as possible and I'm never disappointed. I just love this product."
Beauty deal of the week
Beauty fans looking to get a golden glow will know the benefit of tanning drops.
One bottle that has "blown away" shoppers is the Garnier Ambre Solaire Natural Bronzer Self Tan Face Drops - and they cost under £11 a bottle.
Ideal for those who don't want to go through the hassle of using a tanning mitt to prevent patchiness or orange-tones, these "lightweight" drops can be easily mixed into your favourite moisturiser for a flawless glow.
Since the drops offer a "buildable" bronzed look, many reviews have suggested that one of the positives is the ability to "control" the depth of their tan, unlike other products that deliver just one specific shade.
Enriched with skin-loving ingredients hyaluronic acid and coconut water, these Garnier drops also work to keep your skin "intensely moisturised" day by day.
Of course, with the reputation Garnier's Natural Bronzer Face Drops have earned, it's no surprise they have 4.2 rating based on over 2,000 reviews on Amazon alone, as shoppers call them a "little bottle of magic" for a "natural sun-kissed glow."
One purchaser said: "Blown away! I'm not a phaffer. I generally don't bother with things like tan and bronzer. But this little bottle of magic changed all that! I love it! I pop it on with my moisturiser and a couple of hours later I am actually glowing!
"I've been asked repeatedly if I've been on holiday, lost weight, got a new person, had a facelift or found a genie in a bottle. I'm so scared of running out I've stocked up!!"
Shop the Garnier Ambre Solaire Natural Bronzer Self Tan Face Drops for £10.67 on Amazon here.
Another five-star review read: "Best fake tan I have used. Goes on great with the skinny tan mitt and no streaks when you rinse next morning don't use soap or shower gel when rinsing as this causes streaks."
Someone else added: "I actually really love this! I'm fair and like a natural tan. It smells good and is so easy to apply. No streaks and I really love the colour! Not too dark. Just right for me and fades well."
Not everyone has been keen on the green tint to the formula, as one shopper said: "I bought this today and went to use it and it came out bright green.
"Looked it up on the internet and apparently skinny tan has a greenish tinge so I tried it. Had to take it off within 5 minutes because the green was getting worse. Will be returning tomorrow."
Nevertheless, a more positive shopper wrote: "I usually use St Tropez but thought I would give this a go for a change, and I'm glad that I did.
"Very subtle, no orange colour or streaks, but do use the skinny tan Mitt. Was a bit worried at first as the mousse did have a green tinge. You can deepen the colour by doing it daily."

Amanda wore the Compact Stretch Stab Stitch Square Neck Tailored Pencil Maxi Dress from the high street retailer. With its square neckline and stitch detailing, the dress accentuates curves and, importantly for Amanda, holds up beautifully even after hours on air.
