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

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

...This product is for the new improved product (the photo is of the old packaging) I have been a St Tropez devotee for years now, I love its colour and the fact that its so easy to apply. In fact one of my first reviews for dooyoo was for the whipped bronze mousse. In this review, I mentioned that one of the disadvantages was the smell - people compare it to stale biscuits and it's just horrible. The colour is great but the smell lingers, but as all fake tans smell, I just kind of put up with it...until now! 2009 saw St Tropez releasing new improved versions of their best selling products. As well as sleek new black on white packaging, there were major improvements to the smell. It claimed to have a pleasant fragrance - hmmm I thought, I am a bit sceptical, I will have to try this for myself! I bought a 240ml bronzing mousse...

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

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

St tropez self tan mousse

Advantages: Lovely Natural colour,easy to apply once you have got the hang!
Disadvantages: Price, Guide colour seems to change

...This is by far the best self tan that i have tried. I have tried a few other brands but they are still standing on the shelf in my bathroom half full. I have always been a bit scared of applying self tan and so had never ventured any further than my legs. However whan i bought my bottle of St tropez the results were so good, i had a go at putting it on my full body, and the results were amazing. It can be a bit tricky getting the hang of applying the mousse, but once you have mastered it then it is really easy. My advice would be to use the Body polisher and moisturiser as these are both really nice products, better than any others ive tried. You can buy gift box sets which includes everything in one box - self tan mousse - body polisher and moisturiser. This is what i purchased first to try it out, i now buy them seperately as they...

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...

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 Whipped Bronze Instant Self-Tanning Mousse

  St Tropez - Whipping me up into a Summer Frenzy!

Advantages: Natural looking tan that lasts for several days
Disadvantages: Needs a bit of practice to get just right

...linger on your skin for days after application. I'm sure it's not that noticible to anyone else, but it is a bit off-putting.). Self-tanning does take a bit of practice to get right, and despite what seasoned users of St Tropez might claim, this product is no different in that sense. The key to good self-tanning I'm afraid is good preparation, patience and precision application. But, I'd like to share my tips with you and hopefully make the experience a little easier. Firstly, don't be fooled into thinking you have to use all the accompanying products available in the St Tropez range. It is very important to exfoliate and mosturise before applying the Whipped Bronze Mousse, but rather than using the St Tropez Body Polisher and Body Moisturizer (as recommended on the tin!), just go with your usual products (if you don't currently use...

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

St Tropez - quick non streaky tan that is easy to apply yourself!

Advantages: Easy to apply with great results
Disadvantages: None

...I love St Tropez products and usually treat myself to a tan for a special occasion to make me feel good. I have just started using the St Tropez mousse, although hesitant at first (I usually go to the salon and get this applied professionally) I thought I would give it a go. Overall it does what it says on the tin. - streakless, instant colour with a pleasant fragrance. As with the lotion there is a guide colour so you don't miss anywhere. I used a pair of washing up gloves to apply this product! Don't laugh it works, no stained hands and it went on smoothly. So in my opinion if the sun doesn't make a lasting appearance this summer (which could be likely!) purchase the St Tropez tanning mousse to give you that holiday feeling....

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....
