St. Tropez Self Tan Express Advanced Bronzing Mousse

I was skeptical to try another tan brand, as i was very attached to my current brand. However im glad i did step out of my comfort zone. I havent tried an express tan before, only the longer overnight varities, so this was new. The bottle is easy to use, pump, lid, good size, the smell is actually very nice which is great when applied to skin. The mousse looked quite runny but it actually did the trick, gliding onto my skin very easily. And the main question is did it work? Yes and better than i expected. I waited 2.5 hours for a medium tan on my skin, and i am impressed. The tan was even, not streaky, and colour was perfect , and i feel like it developed a bit further after washing and moisturising. May even try to leave on longer next time.

This product is perfect if you can't get to a tanning booth. Easy to apply, great colour, not streaky. Unfortunately quite pricey though.

I’m very pale (and prefer to fake tan to protect my skin from the sun) so was really excited to try this - especially the fact that it is supposed to develop so quick! The first time I used it I thought I would leave it on for 3-4 hours which was recommended for very dark results to give it a real test but I will say it wasn’t as dark as I would have thought! I reapplied the next day and again left it for about 3 hours. It does keep developing but I felt like this got the perfect sun kissed glow for me. It applied well, no lines or patches at all and didn’t really notice the smell which is great! Overall I’d definitely recommend!

I haven't bottle tanned in years! My fondest memories come to me from the 90's. A decade of orange, patchy, stinky skin... awful. So I was super keen to give this a whirl, thank you BR. I got prepped and decided to go for a 3 hour bake for a dark tan. I did it to the minute, then rinsed (showered). I then went to bed in anticipation of waking up to my fully developed glorious dark tan. It was light. I was disappointed and thought perhaps I was a little miserable on the application, so I did another round (a little more generous with the mousse) and let it bake for 5 hours before rinsing. Yep, I wanted to go DARK. I didn't. I would say my efforts resulted in a medium tan. Don't get me wrong, I think the product is awesome and the colour is beautifully natural, but I would anticipate quite a few applications to get a very dark tan. NOTE: My skin tone is medium warm tone. My Summers begin with a burn and end in a tan.

I suck when it comes to self tan….I always would look streaky, and have an orange tinge (I’m a naturally tan person, but pale in winter).

I preped my skin as advised, and went to applying the tan with the mitt….the mousse is tinted so you can see where you had applied. I was tempted to leave overnight, but I didn’t. I washed off after 3hrs and thought, ok…I look a bit tan but nothing major. I was dubious about the “developing over 8hrs”…was thinking “yeah right”.

I was so wrong - woke up the next day looking GOLDEN!! I was amazed and extremely happy with the result. The lower part of my legs are normally tan resistant - even if I am in the sun! But my pasty lower legs tanned as well!! Reapplied 2 days later just to see what would happen, and I swear my tan looked even better!

I’m on day 5 now and the tan is definitely fading, there are some patches, but they’re barely noticeable.

Overall…amazing product…I’m sold! This is my new go too.

I was excited to be selected for the St. Tropez Self Tan Express Advanced Bronzing Mousse tanning mousse trial team. I used to use St Tropez tanning products years ago, however in recent years had gravitated towards brands that offered express tans so that I could apply and be tanned for a last minute party invite. This St. Tropez Self Tan Express Advanced Bronzing Mousse tanning fulfilled those promises as you can leave the tan on for one hour for a light tan, two hours for a medium tan, and three hours for a dark tan.

I decided to go with the two hour processing time for my body as I am naturally fair and don’t like to look too dark. I chose a one hour processing time for my face as I like my face to have more of a light sun kissed natural glow, rather than a dark obvious tan.

The mousse is coloured which made it super easy to apply with the provided St Tropez Double Velvet mitt. Working quickly (as it dries fast), I applied the tan in circular movements.

The tan only felt slightly tacky and when I rinsed it off, I was impressed with the natural looking result. Longevity wise, this tan has lasted six days so far and is still going strong which I’m impressed with because some express tans start fading after a couple of days.

St. Tropez Self Tan Express Advanced Bronzing Mousse tanning mousse is a beautiful tanning product and will be my new “go to” going forward due to the natural results and quality of the product.

This fake tan underwhelmed me a little- but I intend to give it another go, I applied if one Friday night and decided to leave for the 2 hour mid range it reccomended not the full three. I was excited to wash it off as sometimes fake tan smell is overwhelming. The initial smell was quite good and application with the mitt was easy. It didnt immediately go very dark so was good. I left to dry for a bit and chucked on a loose dress and headed to the supermarket . It was okay to wear under and doesn’t appear to have stained my clothes. It felt a little sticky. After the 2 hours I jumped in the shower and washed it off, I couldn’t see much come off. And then went to bed. The shower did lessen the smell and made the stickiness disappear. Overnight there was nothing left in the white sheets which is a massive win. I did notice a slight difference in colour in the morning but not huge, I think that it is nice for a light tan, and there was no obvious streaking, my knees and ankles also fared well.

Apologies for the very punny title, but this St. Tropez Self Tan Express Advanced Tanning Mousse is the best! We've all had 'those' experiences with fake tan and often ended up looking like a certain orange person, but this is not one of those products. From the beautiful packaging to the product itself, it is absolutely simple and reliable. The scent is very light and not at all overpowering like the first products were many moons ago - thank goodness! I made sure I exfoliated well - particularly those areas we know pick up tanning products like nothing else - elbows, knees - and I used the St. Tropez mitt that came with the product. This meant that I had a streak-free tan that developed beautifully over the three hours. The beauty of this product is that you can choose the depth of colour you would like from 1-3 hours on your skin and then rinse it off. The colour continues to deepen over the next 8 hours.

This is a great tanning mousse that I'd recommend to everyone. The packaging is great - good quality, no flimsy cheap plastic, and easy to pump out. I used the St Tropez tanning mitt that was also provided. It smells really nice - no nasty chemical tan smell! I also appreciate that this is quite a dark formula so I can see exactly where I've applied it. I left it on for one hour to see how a "light" tan looks, which just takes away my winter paleness (my legs haven't really seen the sun this summer) so that was enough for me and I was happy with this. I tried again and left it on for two hours which gave me a deeper tan but not so much it looked fake. I had to moisturise my entire feet and ankles because the tan really stuck to the dry bits and they looked dirty! So moisturise moisturise moisturise!

I am very impressed with this product. It is very easy to use, the self tan looks a natural colour and importantly, there's very little smell. I put some on and just left it rather than washing it off. I applied it with my fingers and washed hands afterwards with no staining. I used it on my legs and found it easy to blend. While I didn't put on clothes straight away, I found the product dried quickly and I don't have marks on my clothes which is a definite plus! Best fake tan I have ever used and will be using during the summer.
