The £6.25 'streak free' self tan that makes it 'look like you've been on holiday'
Not heading on holiday this year? Don't worry, as this affordable self-tan will still get you that golden glow.
Looking to get than sun-kissed glow without stepping foot off a plane? Then we know the one self-tan every beauty buff will need.
The amount of fake tanning products available to buy these days has significantly increased over the years. Long gone are the days of those cheap lotions that left a patchy and orange looking effect.
One that is said to provide a "streak free" glow within as little as "one hour" is the Garnier Ambre Solaire Natural Bronzer Self Tan Mist (medium). It's currently a popular buy on Amazon where it is enjoying an incredible 50 percent discount.
Averaging a 4.3 rating based on over 3,000 reviews, this self-tan mist is worth £12.50 but is on offer for just £6.25. Considering Boots has it on offer for £8.33, while Superdrug still stocks it at full-price, it's a deal worth bagging ahead of summer.
With its "weightless" formula, this ultra-fine mist has been designed to be fast drying and non-sticky, with some reviews saying that it is "much easier" to apply than other formulas such as foams and lotions.

Product Description
Infused with a nourishing apricot oil, it doesn't just banish that dreaded 'biscuit smell', but it provides an even golden-glow that has some shoppers saying it makes them look like they have been on holiday.
Offering a "buildable" formula, it allows beauty fans to tailor how light or deep they'd prefer their tan, with the results said to last for "up to one week."
Beauty fans wanting to shop around instead can get the popular Dove Dermaspa Gradual Tan Lotion in the medium to deep shade that costs just £4.34 for a 200ml bottle at Superdrug.
Not keen on a lotion or a mist? Then the Coco & Eve Bali Bronzing Foam (200ml), £26 on Lookfantastic, has earned a cult reputation for its ability to create a natural and even looking tan.

"I like a pale tan but if you want it darker then just re-apply until you get your desired effect. A great beauty product that lasts for at least a week."
Someone else remarked: "Best kept secret! I don't usually write reviews but I had to for this. My face is always so very tired and dull but more importantly pale! I sprayed this very lightly over my face before I went to bed and I've woken up a new woman. No streaks, smells OK and makes me look like I've been on holiday. It looks very natural too."
Someone who wasn't keen on the mist formula wrote: "It may be personal preference but I tan quite a lot and mostly use mousse tans. I thought I would use this for a change as the reviews were good but I'm not really sold on it. May have to try it a few more times to get used to it but I do worry that the coverage isn't as thorough as using a foam tan and a mitt."
Nevertheless, someone else who was a fan added: "Excellent item makes you look like you have just returned from your summer holidays!"
