St Tropez Self-Tanning Mousse

I like this self tanner a lot. The only issue I have with it is the color that's produced after waiting overnight for it to develop. Mine turned out as a very light, barely noticeable glow. The actual color wasn't bad, it was just way too light for my taste. It's a shame because otherwise, I really liked this product. It's very easy to apply, dries quickly and smells much better than your average self tanner. I guess I'll gibe their "dark" version of this a try.

It was my little boys christening and I wanted a quick tan! St tropez seemed like the best choice and I bought some gradual build tan! I applied the tan 2 days before the christening and was happy with it, the morning after I woke up with a burnt face and kneck, when I looked in the mirror I was horrified to see it have reacted really bad and the burning spread through out the day, I have a shower to try and wash it off but the burning got worse, it felt like sunburn, my skin then started to blister, especially on my kneck, I rang a doctor and got told I had to be seen straight away, it was a really bad allergic reaction and I had to have anti histamines!! There is nothing on the bottle to say do a tester, and I would NEVER use the product again! Ruined a day for me that I wanted to be special!!!!

Im so happy I finally got to try this bronzing mousse! Im a very fair skinned individual, as in when I get cold you can see every vein in my legs, and seeing perfectly tanned barbie dolls walking around my campus has definitely made me question how comfortable I am about my paleness. I have used the gradual tan lotion and I felt that it did indeed make me orange, so I was hesitant to try something that is more potent. I am amazed with the results. I was particularly excited to be tanned in my creme colored Easter dress. Everyone told me that I looked like I had been in Hawaii for a month. I did have some streaking, but that was from user error (I totally forgot to go over the back of my knee, oops) but that was an easy fix. I love that the color doesn't come off after just one wash and/or shave, which i felt the lotion did. Its also reassuring seeing the color that is coming out of the bottle is a dark brown. There is no hint of orange, so there will be no orange tint to your skin in any way. You do have to vigilant about moisturizing though, but i don't know anyone who would complain about having hydrated skin. I am so happy with this product, and I feel as though one bottle will easily last me at least 3 times as long as the lotions i've used. One pump of this stuff goes such a long way. Due to the fact that i feel it will last me a long time, i'm not too upset about the price either.

In an effort to search for the best self-tanners out there I stumbled across St.Tropez at my local Sephora's. I have to say, I love it! Its exactly what I was looking for! the best things about this product is that it 1.) lasts for a while (roughly 3 weeks! Can mystic tan do that?), espeically combined with the lotion. And 2.) it works with the natural pigments of your skin so the tan looks different on everyone, managing to look completely natural and flawless. ;) It doesnt really have a terrible smell, which is a bonus and its not streaky. Hallelujah! Definitely recommnd it to all those hotties out there!

Great sunless tanner. Well worth $40. Goes on even as long as you are careful to get full coverage. Smells pretty good and is not too sticky. (all sunless tanners smell some and have some sickyness)

One of my favourite fake tans!

This is easy to apply because it is tinted so it easily shows if there is a streak anywhere.

I always apply with a mitt (from semi-chem or boots) never with my hands, I find you can never wash all the fake tan off your hands if you apply with them.

It does smell a bit of fake tan the next day, but I haven't found one that doesn't and I have used just about every brand there is!

If you apply it before going to bed, the tan will develop really well overnight and then after showering in the morning I like to apply a nice smelling moisturiser to help the tan last.

Moisturising every night before bed will make sure it fades evenly.

The only critical point I have is that as far a value for money goes, it's a little more expensive that I would like.

good results, give a good colour and even fading thumbs up would recommend to friends..

Very easy to use and product does what it says it does. I have recommended it to everyone and consistently receive compliments, "Great Tan".

I have used many tanning products before and St Tropez is definiately the best although also the most expensive.

Pros:

You can slap it on and it doesn't streak or go orange.

It lasts a week.

The bottle lasts me a few months.

St Tropez fake tan remover works well with this fake tan in particular.

Cons:

It smells and it takes about two showers and a strong smelling body cream/spray to get rid of the smell compeletely.

It's expensive at £20-£30.

It takes four hours to develop.

Any more than one application will make you orange in my opinion- but I've found this to be true of all fake tans.

rubish .. went green when applied
