'Liquid Gold Foam requires no wash off! You can apply the foam, put clothes on and go about your day as normal with the tan developing over the next 6 - 8 hours,' the product description reads.
'This superior formula sets in a moment and lasts for up to a week; leaving you with perfectly bronzed skin that glows from within.
'Infused with the fresh scent of Coconut and hydrating Argan Oil, Liquid Gold is our longest lasting tan and conveniently requires no wash off.'
Since the tan launched, thousands have taken to social media to show off their bronzed bodies and rave about its fresh coconut scent and moisturising properties thanks to the inclusion of Argan Oil.

'I really love this brand for its affordability and it's innovative creations. I didn't want to try the oil initially so I got this first. How great that you don't have to wash it off,' one customer wrote.
'I applied this six hours before needing to have a shower before bed and it had fully developed, It drys in 30 minutes so it doesn't have a sticky feeling like other tans.'
'Bought this as soon as it came out, I usually use the dark foam which I let develop over night and wash off in the morning. But with this I put it on, dried within minutes and left it on over night to wake up to a beautiful golden colour,' another added.
While the majority of reviews are positive, some have complained of breakouts and a lighter formula than they would have liked.
