Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Just like SPF, sweat-proof make-up and seasonal scents, fake tan is a holy grail beauty buy during the summer months. These glow-getting formulas give you that post-holiday look, without the need to jet off to warmer climes.
Whether you favour ease of application or need a hydrating formula for dry skin, no two formulas are made equal, and it all comes down to finding the right fake tan for you.
But if you don’t know where to start, one fake tan in particular beat 16 other formulas to take the crown in our tried and tested review.
Enter: St Moriz’s luxe hydra glow clear tanning mousse. Clear in colour so it doesn’t transfer onto sheets, it’s a fast track for a natural-looking tan in as little as an hour.
If you’re searching for the fake tan formula to carry you through the summer months, here’s everything you need to know about St Moriz’s mousse – and how to pick up a bottle for yourself.

According to our tester, St. Moriz’s hydra glow clear tanning mousse takes the good bits from every fake tan style. “Clear in colour, it won’t leave you looking tangoed immediately after application, doesn’t stain bed sheets and leaves no sticky, greasy feeling, just a natural-looking golden glow,” they said.
It’s a mousse, so it’s incredibly easy to apply with a mitt (make sure to cover every area thoroughly) while the lightweight formula instantly absorbs. “Rose water, goji berry extract and glycerin give it skin-boosting properties which hydrate, nourish and reduce redness,” they noted. Plus, the sweet scent is far from your typical fake tan too. What more could you ask for?
