All The Self Tan Products We’re Loving, For A Gorgeous Spring Glow
From prep to removal
Summer is coming, but that doesn’t mean we’re guaranteed sun.
Actually here in Ireland, it can be quite the opposite sometimes as we’re mired with grey mornings, rainy days, and clouds that just can’t seem to disappear.
But the painfully changeable weather doesn’t mean that we can’t still get our glow on — all day, every day.
Us Irish are the world’s biggest users of self tan (no surprises there), and it’s safe to say we’ve all got our favourite self tanning products.
Here are some of ours — from Irish brands, and elsewhere — for every step of your tanning Thursday.
POCO Beauty Skincare Infused Tanning Mousse – €29
Bolstered with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, this lightweight mousse combines the benefits of modern skincare with effortless tanning.
POCO’s new tanning mousse is quick-drying, streak free, and sure to leave a deeply hydrating, glow-y finish.
St Tropez Express Sunlit Skin Face Tint- €27.99
Sunlight skin in no time at all? We’re listening. Enjoy an immediate bronzed glow in as little as one hour, with a medium, sun-kissed tan that fully develops in three hours.
You can wear this product alone for effortless radiance or under makeup for a luminous, perfected base.
Azure Tan Self Tan Tanning Butter – €24.95
This rich, fast-absorbing formula melts into your skin, building a gradual glow while helping to firm and tone.
Infused with guarana and caffeine to boost circulation, plus shea butter to lock in moisture, it leaves skin feeling soft, smooth, and radiant.

Tanning, but make it oil. Bellamianta’s Tanning Oil is a clear, transfer free formula infused with skin-loving ingredients to give you a gorgeous, glow-y finish.

Finally, pre-tan prep made easy. BPerfect’s gloves are designed to smooth away old tan, dry patches, and uneven texture, revealing silky skin that’s ready for your next application.

Bare by Vogue Jumbo Express Tan Removal Gel – €30
Tan removal, but make it jumbo. Bare’s pink shimmery gel effectively removes old tan in minutes, without the need for harsh scrubbing.
