Where to start with this tan...It is my FAVOURITE fake tanner to use! The colour for me is just perfect, my natural skin colour is probably light to medium and personally I love my skin to look dark (I know people that have pale skin and look beautiful but for me I just feel I suit a tan and I feel more confident with it).
You'll notice that the fake tan is a mousse and I find this the easiest consistency to apply, it doesn't streak or look blotchy and I will normally apply this after I have showered , before I go to bed - as it needs time to develop - I use two pumps of the product and apply in circular motions starting with my arms and chest and working down my body to my legs and feet, and I find a mitt the easiest way to apply the mouse.
After application your skin will feel slightly tacky but it isn't uncomfortable and I normally try to wear longer Pyjamas in case it does transfer onto sheets (never had a problem with the tan transferring onto bedding though).
The colour upon application is very dark and has a slight green undertone to it but bear in mind that this is only a guide colour and when you wake in the morning to wash it off you'll notice the colour your left with is a beautiful natural golden shade.
If I want to look tanned for a Friday night out (for instance) I like to apply the tan on the Tuesday wash it off Wednesday morning and then apply more again on Thursday (If I want a darker tan) ready to wash off Friday.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE St Tropez and for me it is the best tanner I've ever used, the tan I use is dark (black bottle) but if you wanted a lighter end result they also sell a normal one (in a white bottle).
I feel the product is quite expensive but I am willing to pay for quality, it is priced on the St Tropez website at £33.00 for a 200ml bottle - and believe me, it will last you and a little goes a long way!
Sometimes Iv'e seen Superdrug/Boots & even Tescos have had offers on it, which I like to keep an eye out for!
For more information on the product visit the St Tropez website.
I really want to try their new product the 'Self Tan Luxe Dry Oil' If anyone has used it, I'd love to hear what you think.
Love,
