Still applying your pricey fake tan twice a week?

If you’re keen to find a cheaper alternative to lash on with abandon whenever you need a bit of bronzing, one supermarket brand of tanning mousse has fans stocking up during their weekly grocery shop.

A recent independent survey has revealed that 91 percent of testers found Lidl’s Vegan Self-Tanning Mousse was better value for money than their usual tan of choice.

Priced at just €4.29, the cruelty-free ‘Marbella Glow’ mousse is made locally right here in Cork and comes in three shades: Medium, Dark and Extra Dark.

Infused with white truffle and Champagne extracts combined with Vitamin E to condition the skin, the formula promises a perfect long-lasting, streak-free, and sunkissed glow on a budget.

Interestingly, almost two-thirds of those who trialed the tan said that they would always wear fake tan on a night out with friends whereas a little over a quarter would always do so on a date. The majority, nearly 70 percent, would always wear fake tan when attending a wedding.

One participant commented: “This tan is absolutely beautiful. The tan looks gorgeous when applied and it has a beautiful glow to it as well. It stays on all day and all night and doesn’t ruin your bedclothes.”

Lidl’s Vegan Self-Tanning Mousse is available across all stores nationwide.
