St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

Although I got on fantastically well with the Whipped Bronze Instant Self-Tanning Mousse from St Tropez I'm always up for trying new products and it appeared to me that more people use the normal 'lotion' as opposed to the mousse. Is it better? Let's see. ST TROPEZ TINTED SELF-TANNING LOTION The bottle for this lotion is quite different to the mousse. This lotion is presented in a smart, thick white plastic bottle with a black pump action nozzle. ...
...all know what that means!) St Tropez like to make out that only their Step 1 and Step 2 could POSSIBLY precede Step 3 but I disagree - Step 1 is essentially just an exfoliator and Step 2 is a moisturiser. I would imagine that anyone willing to fork out money on a fake tan probably owns AT LEAST one exfoliator and moisturiser already ;) The instructions offer some assistance, "Step 3: Smooth St Tropez Auto-Bronzant evenly onto skin; let it absorb ...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

St Tropez Self Tan Lotion has been around for quite a while now. Loved by top celebrities, the people that always seem to have an emaculate tan, with no streaks. Something that seems impossible to most of us, unless you choose to fry on the beach, or opt for the sunbeds, which in my opinion you would have to be mad to do, unless you want to look like a dried up old prune not so far down the line, and not to mention the risk of skin cancer. So what ...
...tried to fake tan with disastrous results, enough to put you off for life....and some people make it look so easy! I have read the opinions, the magazine articles, the celebrity endorsements, it was time to give St Tropez a go. After all, it is meant to be 'foolproof'. I bought the 'Step 3, St Tropez Tinted Self-Tanning Lotion, 240ml off ebay for £19.99, although I then noticed it somewhere else for cheaper so my advice is to look around to get ...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

St Tropez Self Tanning Cream Prepared to look my best for the birth of this child (whenever that might be) I have gone the whole hog and done everything possible to myself in order for me to appear more glamorous than ever. One step in my bid for glamour has been getting out the St Tropez fake tan and after one application I am certainly looking a lot healthier. I have had a bottle in my cupboard for a little while now and I used to apply it on ...
...you can appear far sexier, slimmer and definitely more like you have been out in the sunshine (which with my swollen feet I most certainly have not). I paid around £10 for this 120ml bottle of the self-tanning cream, which is a good price for something of this quality. You can find St Tropez for sale in most places and the prices can vary slightly, I find it always best to keep on the look out for a special offer as otherwise it can seem rather expensive ...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

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 was), it all ...
...money! I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for and once again I have been proven right. So Step 1, I am standing in the bathroom covered in exfoliator, with my poor boyfriend standing behind me exfoliating my back for me. Step 2, carefully moisturising every part that might go a little bit dry or dodgy Step 3, we get to the no turning back stage! I mix the bronzant half and half with the moisturising cream, and start slapping it on my ...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

*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 ...
...*Packaging and Price* The packaging is quite simple and whereas most fake tanning products come in a brown or orange bottle, it is distinctive as it comes in a white bottle with black writing. When buying, look carefully at the bottle to check you have the right product though as the St Tropez body polish comes in a very similar bottle! The bottle has a pump at the top. The prices are as follows: 120ml - £17.50 240ml - £26.50 I don't think I've ...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

...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 the ...
...with that 'orange glow', But St. Tropez is DEFINITELY the one for me. It's so easy to apply on myself - and I just LOVE easy!!!! Ok, here's how to use St. Tropez Tinted Self-tanning Lotion. First and foremost and MOST IMPORTANTLY, 1) EXFOLIATION....You MUST exfoliate before applying the product to remove dead skin. Dead skin is obviously a lot drier than the rest of your skin, so any creams or lotions applied to these areas will not be absorbed ...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

...subject in hand... St. Tropez is a fake tanning lotion which is designed to bring you that enviable deep bronze tan all the way from the Riviera of Southern France. The company caption goes something along the lines of, "Indulge yourself with the richest looking tan in the most luxurious way. A tan this rich was only possible on the Riviera, now the Riviera comes to you in St. Tropez products." This inviting caption did it’s job in luring me ...
...would not be purchasing the St. Tropez tanning kit in this lifetime. £44.99. Were they serious?! Who would pay that much for a self tanning kit when there were dozens more on the neighbouring shelf for a mere quarter of the price! So I walked away- a little cheesed off to say the least- and didn’t think about St. Tropez for a considerable length of time. Until one day I heard an amazing review about the products and how great they were. Apparently ...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

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 as its ...
...for the smaller bottle. HOW LONG DOES A BOTTLE LAST Obviously depends on the size of your body! I am pregnant at the moment - huge tum etc - and a very pregnant size 14. The 8oz bottle lasts me about 6-8 applications. I do 1 full body application per week (more if I have a special occasion!). Many people just use this on their legs though. THE SMELL As with all fake tans it has that fake tan smell. Some people liken it to crushed biscuits (I ...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

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) ...
...available and how they work. There is plenty of information there so if you are curious, do go and have a look. Whilst I was there I found that you can buy a smaller 4oz bottle of Auto Bronzant for just 15.95 - to tell you the truth, this is not a lot more than I have paid for some of the dearer brands of fake tan (ie, Clarins) - so I decided to go for it. Now this is impressive - I ordered this product online at around midnight on Tuesday night ...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

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 ...
...a little bit and I didn’t have the same reaction so decided to give it ago. I did love this at first because it brought me out in such a dark tan and I even had one done professionally, which cost £25, I thought after it was a waste of money because it really is easy enough to do it at home and get the same results. This is in my opinion the best way to use it: • Exfoliate really well, I use a body brush to really scrub myself • Moisturise all ...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

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. ...
...see where you are putting it a lot of the other fake tans out there go on colourless therefore you can't see where you have put it on and how heavy you have put it on. If I buy a new bottle I find the pump difficult to get the fake tan out however it does get going eventually. It does go on streaky however aslong I cover the area with fake tan it always develops the same shade of brown evenly on me. I think the tan feels like a very thick moisturiser ...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

...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 involved, ...
...she told me to put on, and then left. Opening it, I discovered it was a small black paper pair of pants - no bra as I'd expected! Shock horror, I had to go topless??!! Oh well, could hardly go and complain when I was halfway through taking my clothes off so climbed hastily onto the bed and hid under the skimpy towels provided for me. My beautician walked in a few minutes later and because she was so friendly I felt much more comfortable. She explained ...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

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 ...
...use a dry facecloth or similar to smooth out the streaks once the tan has dried in, if you want to have a deeper tan to start out with, for example if you are heading for a night out. The first time I used this tan, I was sure it was going to be a disaster. The dark-coloured gel emulsified into a streaky mess on my legs. Following the instructions, I mixed the gel with moisturiser for the areas most likely to turn too dark, such as my knees and ...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

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 is expensive!! ...
...Harrods. I think the actual sun tanning lotion is a bit cheaper. The main difference between the mousse and the lotion is the time it takes to dry and the colour of the product. The mousse is much easier to use! 1) It is very easy to apply!!! So the product gets top marks just for that. The mousse itself already has a light brown colour so you can see where you have applied it and avoid ending up with streaks. It says on the bottle that it dries ...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

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). The ...
...had been on holiday. It lasted for nearly 2 weeks. A real confidence boost for the vain people amongst us!! After seeing how the professionals do it, I now do it myself!!! It is much better to mix half and half with moisturiser. If you go wrong you just apply another thin coat. You wash the excess off about 4-5 hours later and you are left with a really good colour tan (definately not orangey either!). It also doesn't smell as bad as the others ...
