As a naturally pale girl achieving a natural tan can be quite the challenge. It requires hours of sunbathing and given the UK's notorious lack of sunshine, coupled with the risk of skin damage, it's just not worth the hassle for me. However, I still like to have that 'I just got back from holiday glow', and after having tried many different fake tans over the years, I always come back to one.
The tan in question is theIsle of Paradise Express Self-Tanning Mousse. And as Amazon Prime Day(s) has officially kicked off, I'm taking it as my opportunity to stock up for the rest of year.
Originally priced at £21.95, this mousse is now 35% off, bringing its price down to a slightly more wallet-friendly £14.49. It's not very often I spot this particular fake tan on offer on Amazon, so I'm very happy to see it in the sale.
I'm not much of a planner, often leaving important details, like fake tanning for an event, to the last minute soan express tan is a must-have for me, and I think this one is the best.

I do have other favourites such as St Tropez's Express Bronzing Mousse , currently £25.50 at LookFantastic, andLoving Tan's 2HR Express Mousse, priced at £36.95. However Isle of Paradise's comes out on top for me.
Developing in as little as 30 minutes, this tan is ideal if you're short on time but still want that holiday glow. The formula dries almost instantly, so there's no sticky and awkward waiting-around moment or stained clothes. It's also packed full of hydrating hyaluronic acid and brightening vitamin C so it leaves the skin feeling soft and nourished.
On top of that, it usesclever colour-correcting tech to avoid any dreaded tangerine tones, resulting in a natural-looking and streak-free tan that will have your friends asking if you've just got back from a tropical holiday.
The only issue I sometimes find with this tanner is that the pump can become faulty, resulting in the product coming out too liquidy rather than as a mousse.
