Le Tan Foaming Mousse Self Tan

This was one of my first ever mousse tans, so having come from trying only creams and sprays, I was keen to see the difference with a mousse. I decided to start with the lighter colour 'Bronze'.

The smell is really quite pleasant...not the traditional yucky fake tan smell, kind of like coconuts I would say. The after-smell also was unexpected and for me did not develop into the tan smell I had expected.

For someone like me who is lighter skinned and doesn't wear a tonne of tan, I would almost be inclined to try the Deep Bronze colour to amp it up, however the 'Bronze' colour is still very nice and natural.

I found it very easy to apply and doesn't stain my fingers too bad, though after my first application I did purchase a tanning mitt, which has been alot easier in terms of application for me. I love that it was not streaky either.

Overall, for someone who hardly ever fake tans, it is a really great product! A must have for a first-timer.

After years of fake tanning, and far too many products, I have narrowed it down to mousse fake tanners being my favourite. The Le Tan Foaming Mousse Self Tan was one of only a few left on my list to try. I love the Le Tan Instant Self Tanning Spray, so I had high hopes for an even, deep, golden tan.

The packaging is simple and standard of foam tanning products. It is best kept upright in a cupboard, rather than in a drawer, as it will leak a little by the time you get to the end of the bottle. I wouldn't recommend travelling with this product, and if you do make sure it is in a snaplock bag.

I applied this product with a tanning mitt, just as I have done with other product for years. It contains a colour guard, which means that the colour is instant so you can see where you are going, and whether you have missed any spots. I love this as you are almost guaranteed a flawless tan, and you can see (and then fix) any streaks or spots that you have missed. I applied a generous amount of product, let it dry, and then left it on overnight. It dried reasonably quickly, although I wear black PJs so I can get dressed pretty quickly.

The next morning the colour guard washes off in the shower, and a flawless, deep tan was left behind. My skin didn't appear dry, nor hydrated, and the tan was even across my body, with no issues around my feet or hands. The only downside to this tan (and it is possibly only noticed by those who have used other fake tans) is that it is a little too green for my preference. Many fake tans will have a green base, to ensure that the tan isn't orange, but usually it isn't noticeable on the skin. This green tinge lasted for the duration of the fake tan. It didn't bother me, and nobody else could notice, but it will prevent me from repurchasing this fake tan in the future.

Love the fact it doesn't smell like your usual tanning products. The tinted foam is great so you can see where you have applied and it is affordable!

I like this tan but I think there could be more room for improvement!, Its a good colour and all but I just dont love it! but it is better then the Le Tan tanning lotion! by far!

I have used many fake tans over the years and this is one of the best. The only complaint I have is if u have any dry patches of skin it really clings to them and looks darker but I think most tanning products do this.

Used this on my mates for the sevens this year, definitely works a treat! They were going for the overly orange look so did a few layers but was totally impressed with the amount of usage from one bottle! (2 bottles did 5 big guys 3 times each) and their initial colour was great. If looking to be orange, it also does that after three applications! I find that getting the tan applicator glove is also a great way to ensure an even tan!

I have used this a few times as when im in a hurry and havent had time to use my Ecotan for a couple of days get the perfect brown, its affordable and easy to get my hands on. The one this that does stop me using it.... is it can get quite messy and dont you dare break a tanning commandment and apply it without a mitt... your hands will go orange almost instantly and it tends to not go on as evenly as i would like. Before we all roll our eyes... im not tanning rookie- i have a spray tanner and im qualified.... i just require an easy fit every now and then. Also it left my sheets a fright! i love white sheets so thats usually why i stick to my ecotan as it doesnt come off on the sheets.... i had worn this all day and one night in my sheets left them a pale shade of brown haha- lesson learnt.

it smells nice, did leave me brown but not the best product ive tried:)

This is one of my favorite fake tanners and i've tried out a fair few! The pros of this tan, is you can see it as soon as you apply it. It goes on really evenly and you don't have to work with it too much. It's not orange :-) The cons of this product is if you have too much build up of it, it does come off patchy. It is also very yellow based (so good if you have naturally quite pink skin as it will counteract and balance the colour whereas if you are more olive toned, it could look a little too yellow)

I'm very hit & miss when it comes to self tanners, they're either to orange, to streaky, to sticky. This one isn't to bad though! I'm very very pale, so pale in fact that my skin can look bruised when I'm cold & bronzer makes makes me look like an oompa loompa!

Mouse tans are by far the easiest to apply in my opinion & I always use a tan organics tanning mit as I feel it gives the best application & it keeps the dreaded "tan hands" at bay!

This tan is easy to apply, it dries relatively quickly and it has a pleasant scent. The reason I'm not giving it a higher score is that it really clings to dry patches, knees, feet & other awkward areas. Even with a thorough exfoliation before hand I still find that it can look quite uneven.

Other than that I really like this tan & would recommend it to someone looking for a nice mousse formula that doesn't leave a tacky film on the body.
