St. Tropez Self Tan Express Advanced Bronzing Mousse

Such an awesome self tanner. It is so natural looking and actually streak free. I inspected the tan and could not find one streak! I used the st tropez mitt with this and I highly recommend this tan. Was super easy to apply, has a subtle scent which is actually quite nice. It goes on really nicely and the tint that it has makes it very easy to see where you have been, where else needs tan and also what needs to be blended better. I moisturised ankles, knees etc and usually these still look slightly patchy with other tans I’ve used but I can’t fault the st tropez tan it is so even and not at all patchy. My only complaint would be that I felt tacky/sticky for quite about an hour and then tacky behind the knees etc until I washed it off but there was no patches or streaks once it developed. Love that you can choose the depth of tan you want I went with 2 hours for medium and it was maybe slightly lighter than I would usually go so I will leave for another half hour next time but it is so natural and gives you a nice glow and just looks like a sun tan. Bonus I can use one tan throughout summer and then winter, normally I have to change tans as the shades don’t suit both seasons. I will definitely be repurchasing and recommending. It lasts really well and doesn’t come off patchy - also the packaging is gorgeous and feels and looks super expensive!

As far as fake tans go, I really liked this one. The colour is the best part, it is super bronzey, not too orange and not too green. It really looks like I have been on an island holiday.

The guide colour was pretty light once it was blended in, which did make it a little hard to tell where I had been or if I had missed a patch. I checked the colour of my skin every hour for three hours, and then went to bed to sleep in it to give it a real chance at seeing how dark it would get. As always, the guide got very dark and it looked patchy, but when it washed off I was pleasantly surprised at how even it was. I had missed one patch on my inner arm, but i just got a little bit of the tan on the mit, blended it into the patch and a few hours later you would never know!

The scent was really light when it was first applied, but the next day it was a bit more like a lighter version of the standard fake tan smell.

It dried really fast, i was able to put a shirt on and watch tv after 5 to 10 minutes.

I also tested removing it with my fake tan remover, and it came off well too. I appreciate we all want fake tan to last, but I am not here for looking patchy and when my tan has done it's dash, i am removing it!

I would definitely use this again.

No wonder this tanning mousse is a best seller. It is super express, no need for a long development time, it's streak-free and gives a natural golden glow that lasts for days!

I love how express this tan is! You can shower after 1 hour if you want a light tan. Or leave it up to 3 hours for a darker tan. No need to leave it on for 8 hours before showering. The tan will continue to develop for 8 hours after you have showered, so straight after a shower it will be slightly lighter but continue to darken once the guide colour had been washed off.

It absorps into the skin quickly so is nice and fast drying. It is easy to apply and goes on streak-free, especially with the help of the velvet tanning mitt. No mess, fast and super simple. What could be better?!

It is also vegan, and paraben, sulphate and phthalate free.

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.

Can you hear the self-tanning angels singing? I certainly can after trialing this product! With the exception of one single tanning product that is no longer made, I have never come across a fake tan that didn't make my snow white legs look like roasted carrots... until now. This product is the holy grail of fake tans and I'm hooked on it. Let's start with the scent, not overpowering, easy on the nasal passages and definitely was not giving the usual fake tan odour. Big tick in that column. Consistency of the product was great being a mousse, not runny and not greasy like the cream/lotion type tanning products are. Application with the velvet glove was a breeze, although the glove could do with being a bit longer in length so it sits higher/well above the wrist. Good coverage was easy and using the glove ensured no streaks and an even distribution of the product. Because I'm lily white in complexion I opted for the light tan, it recommends washing it off after an hour but after about 40 minutes I liked the depth of colour so chose to wash it off early. Love love love the colour! A natural looking glow of colour, the depth of the colour was enough to look natural on my legs and not looking like I'd dipped myself in cocoa and paprika as other products have before. I got 4 days out of the colour before I reapplied the product again. And again only left it on for 40mins before washing it off. I absolutely love this product and it will be a mainstay in my arsenal for the summer months.

What girl doesn’t like bronzed all year round? With the St. Tropez Self Tan Express Advanced Bronzing Mousse you can. Loving this product. Application is made super easy with the velvet applicator mitt. My tan was flawless and streak free. No more waiting for a tan to develop over multiple hours or even over night either, you can wash off in as little as 1 hour depending on you preferred shade level: 1 hour-light, 2 hours -medium or 3 hours-dark. I went with 3 hour (dark), and my tan was even, warm and left my skin perfectly sun kissed and glowing. Since you do not need to leave to develop overnight, once washed off, your tan continues to develop, and your sheets stayed white. Will definitely be using again to maintain my summer glow.

First time using this brand and I'm so impressed.

Was super easy to apply with the velvet mitt, only needed to use a small amount on each leg and arm. I was only going to leave it on for an hour before showering but ended up leaving it on for three hours and the results are amazing. I thought with me having super pale skin I would of over done the colour but this was not the case, the shade is perfect for me and looks super natural and streak free. It comes in a very generous sized 200ml pump bottle and is vegan-friendly that is super quick-drying, non-sticky and hydrating with a no self tan smell. This is definitely the only self tanning product I will be using from now on, after trying many over the years only to get sub standard results. St. Tropez Self Tan Express is my number one!!!

I love how this mousse gave me that sun-kissed glow I’ve been missing. It is very lightweight, smell is great, it doesn't streak at all.. It required very little rubbing in because it melted gently and evenly into my skin. I kept it on the full 3 hours, and when I showered the first time I gently washed with soap and didn't scrub. This tan lasted for more than a week and got lots of compliments!

I read positive reviews of this on BR, and after a disastrous experience with Le Tan products I was excited to try St Tropez.

WOW. Within an hour I already had some colour, but after 3 hours I was sooo happy with my tan! A truly even, golden glow.

It definitely has the classic ‘fake tan’ smell, but it’s not as bad as other products (Le Tan).

I really can’t wait to use this in summer!
