St Tropez Self Tan

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 using it. My friend used this lotion so I borrowed 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...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

Bye Bye stale biscuit smell! St Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse

Advantages: New product smells floral and pleasant - seems to colour more evenly too
Disadvantages: still fades a little patchy but think they all do

...light fragrance that you is not overpowering but there is definitely no hint of nastiness. It smells as if you are wearing a light body lotion. I wondered whether the initial floraly scent would wear off in a couple of hours or so but by morning I still smelled like a bouquet! Leaving it overnight I showered in the morning and it revealed a golden bronze colour which was extremely even and to date, long lasting. I applied on Monday then again on Wednesday and by Sunday it was still going strong. In comparison with the old version, I think it delivers a more even finish and long lasting result. It does still fade patchy in places, and when they finally conquer that little problem they will have the perfect fake tan in their grasp. Until now, I am just happy with the fragrance improvement - St. Tropez have played a blinder...

Review of St. Tropez Whipped Bronze Instant Self-Tanning Mousse

A St Tropez Tan

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). The tan developed and I was left looking as though I 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...

St Tropez Self-Tan Mousse

Advantages: Easy to apply, even coverage, no streaks, won't make you go orange
Disadvantages: May make you smell a bit like a stale biscuit for a few days after application

...than £2 so save your pennies on all the advertised application products as the cheaper versions serve exactly the same purpose. Alternatively Boots do a self tan mitt for about £3.50 and St Tropez latex gloves 5 pairs for £2.50 so you can still get the same products if you don't have a hardware store near you. So now onto the tanning itself. Ensure you have plenty of time and that you're not in a hurry when applying your tan. If you're planning to wear it for an event or night out then it's worth doing you're tanning at least the evening before, if not longer where possible, for reasons I will explain a bit later. Ensure you shake the mousse bottle well before application. If you do it correctly then it should start off as a liquid then froth up until you can barely hear anything being shaken in the bottle. One or 2 pumps of the mousse...

Review of St. Tropez Whipped Bronze Instant Self-Tanning Mousse

St Topez Self Tan lotion

Advantages: Bottle last a long time
Disadvantages: Tan can wash off very easily

...When using this product you had to start in stages by doing a small section at a time. I found it was easier starting with the legs and spraying the product onto my leg then using an old sponge to spread it around as this product stains your hands terribly. It gave you a very good overall tan, although you needed to be sure you had covered all areas. I thought I had covered my feet an ankles well until the product had completely dried and I realised I had patches. I feel this is a good tanning product and the tan is very natural, however it washes off very easily and rubs of when near clothing. The bottle lasts a long time but dont quite feel it is worth the money as there is better products out there which are less hassle....

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

ST Tropez Autobronzant

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 as I can be left with orange coloured skin! *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...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

An overnight trip to St Tropez

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 was), it all looks a bit daunting after having paid out so much 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...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

Bronzed beauty......well, not exactly!

Advantages: Will give you a dark tan, if that is what you are after.
Disadvantages: Can be too dark for some. Not exactly 'foolproof'. Price.

...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 can you do? I'm sure 80% of us have 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...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

Chocolate tanning sauce

Advantages: I love the smell! Non streaky/non orange if applied correctly.
Disadvantages: Don't over-rub or it will remove the tan

...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. It proclaims itself as being 'Step 3' (and we 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...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

Bronzed Beauty

Advantages: works well, makes you look tons better
Disadvantages: time and money

...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 a regular basis. I find that with a tan 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...
