St Moritz Instant Self Tanning Mousse

Honestly used to love this tan however lately it literally makes me so itchy I feel like my skin is on fire even after a shower have the ingrediants changed?

I have been using this for years worked really well. Easy to apply, though orange if you weren't careful. It's very cheap and if applied correctly looks good. The last three times I've used this I have came out in a rash, some what to prickly heat. Very itchy and uncomfortable. Very red and inflamed looking. Not worth it anymore will be buying something more expensive and hopefully something that doesnt smell as nasty.

This is a pretty good fake tanner for very little money. If you leave it on overnight the colour is really very deep and if applied correctly won't streak at all. It does the job for a fraction of the price.

However it does Smell awful and takes at least 2 showers to get rid of the scent. the dark tan is very deep in colour and looks great indoors however I think it's quite orange in bright natural daylight. The tan in 'medium'is less orange imo.

that being said I do re purchase this tanner purely because it gives a dark colour for little cost.

Although St Moriz is easy to use and develops very well over night, giving a great tan for the day after, it then left my skin extremely dry and itchy. Constantly itching I tried to scrub it off in the shower with it then taking me a whole week to get it off completely. There are still random marks of it on my skin and i had to scrub that hard it has really damaged my skin now. If I didn't scrub it off and left it for a week the tan would get worse and worse every time I got out the shower, making it go really patchy and streaky. Would definitely not recommend this to anyone as although it is easy to apply and looks well for the first day, it then has an awful effect on the skin after and takes ages to get off. And although it is only cheap I have used fake tans the same price as st moriz that I have found to be a lot better

Even though this brand is extremely cheap, I'm just not a big fan of their self tanning lotions (and especially their spray). And their self tanning mousse isn't much better.

My main complaints are the blotchy, uneven color and the awful smell. This product's smell reminds me of the self tanners that came out in the 80s. It's that really rancid, DHA odor that gives self tanners in general a bad name. Many brands out there have figured out how to eliminate that stench, but not St. Moritz.

I wasn't impressed with the color this self tanner gave me as well.

So overall, I'd look elsewhere. There are MUCH better self tanners available these days!

This was recommended to me by a girlfriend who got very good results. The price seemed right, and I was pleasantly surprised how evenly it went on. The results were very fast which is what I was looking for.

However, the tint was a little orange-ish for my taste. It could just be that I have a very fair complexion, but I wasn't happy with how it looked on my skin.

I have used many tans before especially fake bake. St Moritz Being the same you can see the colour going on so you can't miss bits. Always best to use a full length mirror so you can see what's going on behind. Always sample a small body part a couple of days before as one person didn't and had an allergic reaction! Always use circular motion with tan mitt when applying.. I use medium colour and it comes out a nice golden colour when you wash it off in the morning. Reapply the next eve for a darker colour. I always use plastic hair dye gloves under my mitt so the colour doesn't dye my palms and just remove at the end to do the backs of hands with left over colour from damp mitt. I've never had a streak from this. Just a bit of common sense really and you will have the perfect tan. For £2.99 you can't go wrong. To keep up the tan just 1 app every 5 days is fine. Just exfoliate in between to stop it wearing off patchy! I'll never buy any other brand now. I've been using this for 2 years. Doesn't come off streaky when swimming either. Chlorine just makes it fade faster! 10/10 for this product by a regular tan user

I use the medium tan which is perfect for my skin. Must apply in circular motion with a tanning mitt... making sure you are quite firm as can streak!!

I apply once a week and it leaves me with a lovely glow all week throug! some people have commented it is difficult to wash off, which isn't the case if you exfoliate regularly as you should when using tan.

highly recommend! !!!

I must admit to being somewhat bemused by some of these reviews, if I had read them before purchasing I probably wouldn't have bought the St Moritz mousse. Attending a wedding downunder I need something that won't make me look as though I have just spent 12 months in deep winter (which I have) when everyone else is bronzed having come out of their summer.

I have had a trial run and found it very easy to apply with a mit, it doesn't smell "fake tan" - there is a scent but it is light and not unpleasant, it didn't streak and it certainly didn't come off in the shower or on the bedclothes. Having read the reviews I paid careful attention to the water in the shower tray and there was no sign of brown (and it was a long and hot shower), I don't want to sit in their hot-tub with my tan dissolving round me! This may be because I bought the "medium" version rather than the "dark". The medium gave me a very realistic light tan (I don't want to look like a WAG). As yet I have had no skin reaction but am wondering whether my skin will all peel off in due course! I intend to wait for a couple of weeks before reapplying just in case it does.

I haven't turned green yet either!

I have used many fake tans, also gradual self build up tans. This tan is brilliant for the money, if you prepare your skin in the morning then use a tanning mitt to apply it at night you wake up with a good tan, any excess runs straight off in the shower leaving you with an even but not orange tan. I started off applying the tan lightly then as i used more of it i could be more confident with it, its also just finding the right tan for you.
