If there's one thing I hate about tanning through the summer, it's needing to remove it. Whether you're stripping the fake tan for good or clearing the canvas for a freshened look, taking off fake tan can be a hassle, sometimes taking an age. So, when I saw going viral on TikTok for its quick and convenient removal, I was intrigued.

The Rose & Caramel Purity Excel 60 Second Fake Tan Remover, which retails for £23.99 on , as well as at and , promises to remove fake tan in a singular minute. And it's not an empty promise, beauty buffs on social media have been showing off how fast and stress-free this remover is. So I thought I'd take it for a spin.

is said to remove all your self-tan within just 60 Seconds. The viral remover is perfect for stubborn false tan stuck to dry patches, old self-tan that's seen better days, or faded fake tan that needs replacing, without any harsh scrubbing needed.

Set to be compatible with any brand of fake tan, tanning mousse, tanning lotion, spray tan, etc., is an exfoliating body scrub that promises to not only remove fake tan in seconds but also rejuvenate your skin, deeply exfoliate, remove dead skin cells, reduce ingrowing hairs, and provide the skin with intense moisture for silky, smooth, fake tan-free skin, a perfect fresh canvas for your next sunkissed look.

Apparently, it's that easy. You simply mask your body with all areas that need self-tan removal and leave to soak into the skin for 60 seconds. Then you can just jump into the bath or shower and use exfoliating mitts to gently buff away your old self-tan, leaving your skin exfoliated, super soft and ready for your next application of tanning mousse.

Available in two scent options, including scent-free, that I opted for is formulated with a fruity mango and pomegranate scent, leaving the skin smelling and feeling fresh.

First thing to note from my experience with , which I've used twice now, is that I didn't notice any overly strong scent during or after use. This probably isn't a huge downside for everyone, and I will admit I have a terrible sense of smell, so it could just be my nose.

I have tried removing fake tan with soap or other exfoliators, alongside my exfoliating gloves, and it's been a real chore, which is why .

Did live up to the expectations of 60 seconds, and the tan just washes away? No. I covered all of my body that had fake tan on, prioritising dry areas where tan tends to cling, and waited over a minute before hopping in the shower. As I said, the tan didn't immediately disappear, though I did see some colour coming off in the water. But the results still surprised me.

It only took gentle scrubbing with my exfoliating gloves while under running water, and it definitely did not take any aggressive scrubbing for the most part. I used more of and a bit of a heavier hand on my hands, feet, elbows and knees where old tan likes to stick around, and to my shock, the tan lifted ten times easier than I've found with other exfoliating body scrubs.

It isn't a miracle solution to ridding your body of old tan; you still need to exfoliate with gloves or a brush, but and doesn't take nearly as much effort to shift stubborn old tan. I wouldn't say it works in 60 seconds, but I had all of my tan removed in around 10 to 15 minutes while in the shower, which is significantly shorter than it's taken in the past.

Plus, for £23.99, you get a 440ml tub, which is sure to last for months to come. I've barely used a third of my tub, and I've used this exfoliating body scrub twice. Try it for yourself and shop at , , or .
