The price of some bottles is up by a half in a year. 1 The cost of fake tan has risen at a level disproportionate to inflation Credit: Getty - Contributor Several self tan lotions have doubled in cost over the past year Dove's Visible Glow Self-Tan Body Lotion has gone from £4.50 to £7 — a 56 per cent increase. St.Tropez Self Tan Express Bronzing Mousse went from £22 in 2022 to £33 this year — a rise of 50 per cent. Tan-Luxe The Body Illuminating Self-Tan Drops are £44 from £42 — more than the £25.51 for a Ryanair London Luton to Barcelona flight on August bank holiday. Clarins and Coco & Eve have both put up the price of their fake-tan products, too. Consumer champion Jane Hawkes said: 'It's ridiculous that people can get a flight for less than a bottle of false tan. 'We need to be careful as consumers may turn to unhealthy alternatives if prices continue to rise. "Wearing false tan is the best thing for you as it protects your skin but people may start using sunbeds after this. 'The increases are really disproportionate to inflation. 'There's a lot of factors coming into play — the price of importing, transport and ingredients increasing — but, in some instances, it's stores taking advantage of the cost-of-living crisis.' Another product soaring in price is Bondi Sands Self Tanning Foam 1 Hour Express, which has gone up from £12.66 to £18.99 in the past year — a 50 per cent rise. And household favourite Garnier has increased the price of its Summer Body Deep Gradual Tan Moisturiser Dark Sunkissed Look by 38 per cent to the new price of £8.50.){kind=link}
