Molly-Mae Hague's self-tanning mousse, priced at £22 on Amazon, is earning rave reviews from shoppers who say it gives even the palest skin a beautiful, streak-free glow. The Filter by Molly-Mae Self Tanning Mousse comes in a 200ml bottle and is available in medium, dark, and extra-dark shades. It is lightweight, fast-drying, and hydrating, developing in 4-6 hours for a natural-looking tan.
How to Apply
To apply, users pump the mousse onto a tanning mitt and use circular motions on the skin. When applied carefully, it promises a streak-free tanned look across the entire body. One five-star reviewer shared their experience: "Really pleased with the natural colour of this product on my skin! It took a few applications before I became confident and got the best result. The instructions aren't great - a mitt is essential. Stand on a towel just in case of drips mainly from the nozzle when you put the bottle down. Put the foam on the mitt and then apply to skin in circular movements avoiding knee and ankle areas. I found if I sprayed directly onto the skin that area was a little darker and I didn't want blobs! Apply when you are not too hot as sweating impacts the overall coverage but it dries quickly. Smells quite pleasant and I would definitely recommend it. My very pale white legs look nicely sun-kissed."
Other Customer Reviews
Another satisfied customer said: "Love this tanning mousse! I have tried many tanning products but have to say this is the best I have found. Worth the price. Easy to apply, streak free, smells ok. I bought the medium applied it once and a week later it still hasn't worn off. Highly recommend." A third added: "I really rate this tan. Doesn't feel sticky after applying at all and actually feels quite hydrating. Gives a really natural looking tan and fades away nicely."
Alternatives
For those seeking a faster developing time, the St. Tropez Self Tan Express Bronzing Mousse is available for £22.66 (down from £34) at Boots, delivering results in just one hour. Another option is the Tanologist Face + Body Self Tan Drops Medium from Superdrug for £15.99, which can be added to moisturiser for a custom tan.
Potential Drawbacks
Some users noted that the tan lasts about 4-5 days, and one reviewer mentioned that two layers are needed for best results: "Goes on looking very dark but washes off a lot. Very natural tan, doesn't cake or patch, but definitely needs the two layers."
