Sunny skies, warm weather and an imminent bank holiday means spring is officially here, and you may be looking for a fake tan to give some warmth back into your skin. If so, you’re in luck as Amazon has slashed the price of St Tropez’s Self Tan Classic Bronzer Mousse Foam by a huge 60%. This brings the price down from £30.50 to £12.34.
With so many gradual and fake tanners on the market, it can be tricky to know which ones are worth splashing out on and which formula will suit your skin best.
However, undeniably, St Tropez is one of the best in the business, and its classic tanning mousse is one of the easiest to apply with the best, natural-looking results.
Infused with jojoba oil and other skin-loving ingredients, this tan doesn’t dry out the skin like others and also doesn’t leave behind that traditional fake-tan smell, rather a mood-boosting fragrance instead.

To use this product, simply exfoliate and moisturise dry areas before use, apply with or without a tan mitt (we recommend always using a mitt, the matching St Tropez one is a great option), and allow to develop for 4-8 hours with no need to wash it off. The result? A sunkissed, natural tan that looks like you’ve just spent the past two weeks lounging on the beach.
With 19k reviews and a 4.5-star average, it’s clear to see this classic tan is a shopper favourite, with customers praising the streak-free, non-orange results. One happy shopper wrote: “The St. Tropez Classic Mousse gives a natural, streak-free tan that develops over 4–8 hours. It’s easy to apply, fades evenly, and leaves a beautiful bronzed glow—never orange. A must-have for a flawless, sun-kissed look!”

Streak-free; no traditional fake tan smell; leaves a natural, bronzed glow and is easy to use

And a second raved about how easy to use the tan is, they wrote: “Couldn’t recommend this more! I’m not a pro when it comes to applying fake tan, but this stuff is pretty much fool proof. It applies pretty easily, and is great that you can just about see it as you’re applying it so you can see where you’ve missed.”
One thing to be wary of, however, is because the tan has a brown colour guard it can leave stains on white clothing. One customer wrote: “The tan colour is beautiful but it leaves marks on clothes.”.
