Jetting abroad to soak up the sun, sand and sea seems like nothing but a distant memory. Whilst we’re sure that we’ll be able to enjoy the feeling of boarding a plane to warmer weather soon, it seems as though we’re stuck with a good ol’ English ‘summer’ for now.
Sure, we’re blessed with a heatwave here and there, but the likelihood of catching a killer tan in the U.K. is small. That’s where our trusty fake tan comes in. For years, Skinny Tan has been our go-to for an undetectable, natural, golden glow. Their line-up of products is simply unmatched, as it features everything from gradual tanners and express mousses to oils, drops and glosses.
Whether you’re new to self-tan or are a veteran of the faux glow, we can guarantee that you’ll pick up a tip (or two) from our ultimate guide to Skinny Tan.
Skinny Tan Self-Tan
Don't stress if you’re not able to jet off to your favourite sunny destination this year; you can still cheat your way to sun-kissed skin. Skinny Tan offer luxurious self-tanning lotions, mousses and oils that deliver a bronzed skin tone from the comfort of your home.
Why bother spending hours in cloudy weather trying to sunbathe in the garden when you can achieve a golden complexion in just a few minutes? Skinny Tan have mastered the art of the fast-absorbing and fast-acting self-tan, tailored to fit into your busy life.
If that wasn't much of an incentive, all of their luscious lotions are laced with aromatic ingredients to evoke a dreamy, coconut scent. Add the bestselling self-tanners for your body to your collection for irresistibly smooth and sun-kissed skin that's finely scented.
Skinny Tan 1 Hour Express Self-Tanning Mousse
£24.99The self-tan for all occasions, Skinny Tan's must-have mousse delivers a gorgeous glow in just an hour. Apply before you head away on holiday to get that bronzed beach tone or just enjoy a base tan all year round.
Specially formulated to deliver a natural looking tan, Skinny Tan have alleviated any concerns about dreaded orange tones or streaks appearing. Instead, you can enjoy a sun-kissed complexion that's indistinguishable from a natural colour.
Imbued with a sweet and sensual coconut aroma, the luscious formula leaves your skin looking fresh, feeling smooth and smelling sweet.

Skinny Tan Coconut Water Tanning Mist

Skinny Tan Gradual Self-Tan
Let's be honest, gradual tans always look a little bit more natural. The appearance of your skin gently adding a deep, warm colour is a much more subtle way to achieve that dream complexion. Whilst we appreciate the convenience of an instant tan, sometimes it's best to wait for the perfect finish.
