Fake tan fans 'run' to major supermarket as bottles are reduced to £1
Tesco shoppers have been racing to the aisles to snap up bottles of fake tan that have been reduced to as little as £1 – but you’ll have to be quick to get your hands on them
The ever dwindling autumn sun means that our skin is on the fast track to paleness, but with plenty of Christmas parties and events on the horizon, there’s never been a better time to dig out the fake tan. Even if you’re not a regular false tan user, having a bottle handy is always a good idea – so when we heard Tesco was reducing the prices of several brands of self tan to just £1.75, we couldn’t wait to share it.
The deal was spotted by a savvy shopper in the Bargain Lovers Facebook Group , who shared a snap of her bargain find, writing: “Fake tan girlies run to Tesco!” alongside a photo of five bottles of St Moritz and St Tropez fake tan. She also included her total cost, which showed her grand total to be £8.81.

That means she nabbed each bottle for around £1.75, with her photo also showing she’d made savings of £52.18 on what should have been a £60.99 purchase. The huge discount was backed up by other shoppers in the comments, with one saying they’d even managed to nab a bottle of Bondi Sands fake tan for the same price last week.
Each of the five bottles of self tan were different too, which means the Tesco discounts seem to apply to a whole host of different formulas, shades and brands. The different bottles include St Moritz Advanced Formula, St Moritz Spray Tan in a Can and the tanning mousse formula, as well as a bottle of St Tropez Tan Classic Bronzing Mousse.
Considering the same 120ml St Tropez tan is usually priced at £22, that’s a pretty impressive saving to get yourself. Boots shoppers said it was “Great tan easy to apply good colour no streaky patches,” with another agreeing: “Gorgeous product lovely natural colour perfect for summer.”
However one did mention: “Colour nice but Hard to wash off / needed to be scrubbed off.”
The discounted price is thanks to Tesco’s yellow stickers, which are typically applied to products which are nearing their sell by date or being discontinued, making it a great chance to nab a bargain. The offers will vary by store to store though, so you'll have to head to your nearest Tesco to see if you can get your hands on them.
If you prefer an online shop, though, LookFantastic has also dropped the price of selected beauty products on its site by 30%, plus offers an extra 5% off right now. It might not get you a bottle of St Tropez tan for £1.75, but you can get yourself these great deals instead:
