St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion > Reviews

Advantages: deceivingly good colour
Disadvantages: quite pricey, very messy!

Dilema, Just been on holiday, have come back with a great tan, but not as great as you expected and it is fading fast because of the terrible English weather! Solution: St Tropez self tanning lotion So I paid just over £50 for St Tropez Step 1 (Exfoliant), Step 2 (moisturiser) and Step 3 (Auto Brozant). As I found out later, if you follow the instructions on the bottle, you should get a good result. For a virgin self tanner (which I ... Read review

Advantages: Nice even colour, can see where it has been applied already
Disadvantages: Messy and expensive

*Introduction* The St Tropez autobronzant is a thick lotion which you apply on your face and body, and then leave to absorb for 4 hours before washing off to reveal your tan. It promises to be 'non-greasy' and 'quick drying' with a 'relaxing aromatic scent'. It comes in one shade only, but you can reapply two nights in a row to deepen the tan. I have really pale skin that doesn't tan at all naturally, so I have to be careful what fake tan I use ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to apply and so natural looking
Disadvantages: To be honest, I really can't think of any!

...pool. So, the answer? Buy St. Tropez Self-tanning Lotion. I first used this product about 4 years ago during the summer, as I wanted to wear shorts or mini-skirts, but my 'peely-wally' legs made people think of booking skiing holidays, they are so white! The first time I used it, I actually went to a beauty salon and had it applied professionally. I had to strip off and they provided me with a pair of black paper panties and a towel. I lay on ...

Advantages: gorgeous tan
Disadvantages: bit pricey

...Riviera comes to you in St. Tropez products." This inviting caption did it’s job in luring me over to this attractively packaged product, which was in a box with a photo of the Riviera and a beautifully tanned woman gazing out into the ocean right in the centre. Not one to often be sucked in by the powers of advertising, I was quite sceptical of this product, but admitted to myself that I was tempted. Or maybe not. One look at the price ... Read review

Advantages: fabulous colour, much better for you than sitting in the sun
Disadvantages: smell, colour when developing, messy, more expensive than other tans - but well worth the extra

I have used this fake tan for quite a long time now (approx 2-3years). I always try different brands when they come on the market, but always move straight back to S Tropez. Its simple - nothing is as good. THE PRODUCT It is a dark, dark brown colour (which is useful for application) and it comes in 2 different sizes that I am aware of: 4 oz/120ml 8 oz/240ml THE PRICE 4 oz/120ml - £17 8 oz/240ml - £25 Therefore buy the larger bottle ...

Advantages: Excellent, all over tan with no streaks
Disadvantages: A little pricey

Warning - This Product is the Dog's DooDahs and no mistake!!! Only try it if you want to be seriously bronzed and beautiful!! In my quest for the perfect fake tan, I eventually decided to go for St Tropez - I have heard so many good things about it; if all the stars use it, then it must be good!! It's just that the price put me off a little bit as I had heard it can be about 25 pounds a bottle. ORDERING I went to their website (www.St-Tropez.co.uk) ... Read review

Advantages: Great colour and very even colour
Disadvantages: Takes time and alot of effort

St Tropez is a great range that contains all the products needed for a fantastic natural looking all year round tan. It claims to work instantly for a streak less application that will last for days. It comes in an 8oz bottle with a handy pump action, which makes it a lot easier to use. I paid £26.50 for this, which I know does seem like a lot. I initially brought the St Tropez mousse however this brought me out in a rash so I had to discontinue ... Read review

Advantages: Natural tan, long lasting, easy to apply
Disadvantages: smells

I use this product regularly and think it is the best fake tan of them all! My best results have been when I exfoliate before and moisturise 3 hours before applying the tan. So I recommend doing this before you fake tan. Most of the time I skip this step as it still does acheive excellent results. I think it is important to leave 3 hours after moisturising for the skin to soak up the moisture otherwise this can make your tan not develop as deep. The ... Read review

Advantages: gorgeous natural tan colour
Disadvantages: cost, doesn't last very long

...splashed out on a professional St. Tropez treatment. I prepared for it as was told, shaving my legs a couple of days before, not using any deodorant on the day of treatment etc. I arrived at the salon eventually, (I'd been round 3 branches of the same salon trying to find it!) but I was made to feel extremely welcome and was soon escorted into a small treatment room where I was greeted by my beautician. She explained briefly what the treatment ... Read review

Advantages: You can see what you're applying, and it doesn't streak
Disadvantages: Expensive

St Tropez self tanning lotion is the lotion to use if you want to look like you just spent two weeks in the south of France, without the hassle of actually having to go there. The lotion is different to every other self-tanner that I have ever tried. It is based on a dark brown coloured aloe vera gel which has to be lightly rubbed in to the skin until it forms an emulsion. After 3 hours, or preferably overnight, you then shower off the coloured base ... Read review

Advantages: realistic colour!!!
Disadvantages: definitely the price

I am always a bit sceptical about self-tanning products. I have tried about three of them so far and always ended up with very uneven strange orangey or dark brown colour. On one occasion it was sooo bad that I couldn’t wear a skirt for a week because whatever I tried I just couldn’t wash it off!!! I have decided to give this product a chance after seeing it in every fashion magazine on the market. First of all I have to say it ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent colour, easy to see where applying as it is coloured
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

This product has got to be one of the most convincing fake tans I have ever found. Last year, being a very pale shade with the task of being a bridesmaid for one of my mates, I decided that I didn't want my pale skin to clash with the pale dress I had to wear!! So off to a salon to have the St Tropez professional tanning treatment. I was amazed! I emerged from the salon with a decent tan (as it is coloured you can see the effects immediately). ...
