Infused with hyaluronic acid and natural skincare actives, your glow will subtly develop over 4-8 hours. Apply your choice of Self Tan (whether it’s Self Tan Classic, Dark Mousse, Lotion or Spray), in long sweeping upward motions. in an upwards, sweeping movement ensuring you overlap each area. Claw your hands, separating your fingertips before applying the residual tan on your Mitt to hands, followed by feet. Allow to dry for a few minutes (or until touch dry), before getting dressed and allow your tan to develop over 4—8 hours for optimum results, before showering off the guide colour to reveal a natural-looking, streak-free tan. If you have chosen Express Tan, then shower off after 1-3 hours depending on the depth of tan you desire. As everyone’s skin tone and type is individual to them, we highly recommend carrying out a patch test 24hrs prior to applying any tanning product for the first time. HOW DO YOU CARRY OUT A PATCH/SKIN TEST? For an ultra-even, streak-free fake tan, always ensure you’re working with a clean canvas. Remove any old tan build up with our Remover Mitt and Tan Remover Mousse. Always exfoliate and remove any unwanted body hair 24 hours before tanning to ensure pores are closed. Make sure your skin is free from any moisturiser, perfume, deodorant and essential oils just before your tan application.

The Cosmetic Toiletry and Perfumery Association (CTPA) confirm that spray tan and self-tanning products are safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding (lactating mothers may choose to avoid the breast area during the breast feeding stage). Top Tip: For best results, make sure that you apply your face tanner in a well-lit area. Dot the products onto the areas that the sun naturally hits (think the nose, chin, cheeks and forehead), then blend out with your fingers. The biscuity smell that everyone associates with self tan is caused by the tanning agent DHA (dihydroxyacetone). We teamed up with top fragrance house Givaudan to create our signature fragrance, featuring our mood-boosting technology, which works to not only mask the smell but also eliminate it by making it undetectable to the nose or brain. This fragrance contains notes of bergamot and green apple and combines all those feel-good moments and emotional triggers to capture an invigorating holiday feeling, helping to make the whole tanning process a lot more pleasant and enjoyable! We have also introduced two new fragrances, so you now have more choice. Our award-winning Self Tan Purity Bronzing Waters have a light and refreshing tropical fragrance, while our Bronzing Watermelon Infusion Mousse and Lotion have a juicy and fresh watermelon scent. We’d love to know which St.Tropez scent you love the most!St.Tropez brand is cruelty-free and against animal testing: we do not conduct animal testing on our products or ingredients, nor do we ask anyone to test them on animals on our behalf. The only testing we do is with a panel of volunteers in clinical tests and user trials to assess the safety of our finished products. We actively support the development and global acceptance of new and valid safety and toxicity methods which would remove the need for animal testing completely. Cell turnover on the face occurs much faster than on the body, so you should expect your facial tan to fade much faster too. When the 2 tans no longer match up, simply exfoliate the face and begin the tanning cycle again.

We all have cult beauty products that we feel that we can’t live without, and for some, this is their tan. St Tropez aims to instil in every user confidence that can only come from even, golden skin, so the brand has teamed up with body-confident model Ashley Graham to convey this air of positivity through their line. Maintain your tan for up to 3 days longer with daily moisturisation to keep skin hydrated and exfoliate twice a week for even fade.
