Aldi has launched a new £3.99 tanning range that promises a summer glow for a fraction of the price of high-end brands.

The budget retailer's latest Lacura collection includes strawberry-scented tanning products, with shoppers claiming the results rival far more expensive alternatives costing up to £36.

And with one product offering savings of more than £32 compared with a luxury favourite, beauty influencer @BeautyGlowGirl shared a review on TikTok.

Trying the Instant Tan Airbrush Finish, she told followers she was "really impressed" and rated the product a "10/10".

The video quickly attracted enthusiastic comments from shoppers who had already tested the products for themselves.

One wrote: "I got the new Ultra Dark mousse and it is STUNNING."

Another added: "Ooh I love it. It looks lovely over your makeup too."

The £3.99 Aldi fake tan shoppers are obsessed with

The new range includes the Lacura Bronzing Mousse (£3.99), available in Medium, Dark and Ultra Dark shades, alongside the Lacura Instant Tan Airbrush Finish (£3.99), which promises an instant bronzed glow in just 60 seconds.

Aldi has also brought back its popular Lacura Tanning Facial Drops (£3.99), which can be mixed with moisturiser, serum or facial oil for a customised glow.

All three products are enriched with skincare ingredients including Vitamin E, Aloe Vera and Niacinamide and feature a strawberry scent designed to eliminate the unpleasant fake tan smell many shoppers complain about.

The Aldi dupe that could save shoppers £32

Perhaps the biggest bargain in the collection is Aldi's Lacura Tanning Facial Drops.

At £3.99 for 30ml, the product costs £32.01 less than Tan-Luxe The Face Illuminating Tan Drops, which retail for £36 for the same size bottle.

That means shoppers could save almost 89% while still achieving a gradual, buildable tan that can be tailored to their preferred depth of colour.
