St. Tropez Self Tan Express Advanced Bronzing Mousse

It took me ages to try this tanning mousse as I seemed to have so many, then in the blink of an eye it was gone.

I was really excited to use a St Tropez tanning mousse, because they do come across as more luxe (and certainly the price tag does). So was it worth it?

It did give me a really nice shade tan, probably one of the nicest shades and I could get nearly half a week out of it, which was pretty reasonable longevity. It also lives up to it's one hour promise, although I leave on overnight as a personal preference. But for the price, I probably wouldn't rush to get it again, when I can get a bottle with twice as much product for the same price and with certain products I wouldn't probably notice much of a scent or shade difference.

This product is perfect if you can't get to a tanning booth. Easy to apply, great colour, not streaky. Unfortunately quite pricey though.

This was a product I was very interested to try - as it is more expensive as the usual tans I buy. I wanted to see why. I washed it off after 2 and a half hours, the colour was amazing! It wasn't too dark - which could be rectified by leaving it on longer or adding and extra layer. But no one could notice that it was fake! It looked like a genuine tan that you would get in the sun. Usually when I fake tan - my friends and family comment on it and ask if I fake tanned. Not one person questioned if it was fake as it looked like the perfect shade for my skin. I usually reach for green toned tans - this one was much more natural looking & I love it!

I have done some research and have found that it is vegan friendly it also has an olive toned formula which is something I like. I love this golden glow tan. It has no 'fake tan' smell and it is great to have that sun-kissed glow throughout the year with no risk of sun damage! I am a very pale woman that LOVES fake tan to make me feel like a ghost to a golden goddess! When I applied it I noticed that it was fast absorbing, it was hydrating and it didn't feel sticky while I was waiting for it to develop. The smell was pleasant which is a nice change to the usual strong odd or off smell of other tanning products. The product was easy to spread and with a few pumps the mousse went quite far. So far I have noticed that there is no streaks! Woohoo! I then I rinsed it off after 3 hours and it left with a beautiful tan. Overall I definitely recommend this tan to everyone, especially for the fact that it works for everyone, you can have a light sun kissed tan after one hour, medium tone with two hours but when I got to 3 hours and rinsed it off I felt like it just stayed as a medium tan so it definitely didn't get as dark as I try to get sometimes.

I was excited to be selected for the St. Tropez Self Tan Express Advanced Bronzing Mousse tanning mousse trial team. I used to use St Tropez tanning products years ago, however in recent years had gravitated towards brands that offered express tans so that I could apply and be tanned for a last minute party invite. This St. Tropez Self Tan Express Advanced Bronzing Mousse tanning fulfilled those promises as you can leave the tan on for one hour for a light tan, two hours for a medium tan, and three hours for a dark tan.

I decided to go with the two hour processing time for my body as I am naturally fair and don’t like to look too dark. I chose a one hour processing time for my face as I like my face to have more of a light sun kissed natural glow, rather than a dark obvious tan.

The mousse is coloured which made it super easy to apply with the provided St Tropez Double Velvet mitt. Working quickly (as it dries fast), I applied the tan in circular movements.

The tan only felt slightly tacky and when I rinsed it off, I was impressed with the natural looking result. Longevity wise, this tan has lasted six days so far and is still going strong which I’m impressed with because some express tans start fading after a couple of days.

St. Tropez Self Tan Express Advanced Bronzing Mousse tanning mousse is a beautiful tanning product and will be my new “go to” going forward due to the natural results and quality of the product.

This is hands-down the best self-tan product I have ever used.

It is fabulous having this product come out in a lightly-coloured mousse rather than a cream lotion or liquid. It means you can see where it has been applied on your skin, and glides over it rather than immediately sinking in before it settles. Having said that, it dries super-quick once you've applied, so you feel touch-dry quickly, which I loved. The scent is minimal and pleasant with no detectable chemical smells. What a wonderful difference to others on the market that I've tried!

With my first application, I allowed it to develop for one hour, since I'm extremely pale and didn't want to come out looking like a carrot if the product wasn't ideal for me. I LOVE the idea of washing it off after development time so I feel fresh and contaminant-free for my furniture and bedsheets. The one hour application left a lovely slight-tan hue to my legs which took the white glow away. It lasted for a good couple of days, and probably would have been longer, but I wanted to try a longer development and see what happened.

The two hour development would be my favourite. The colour looks natural and is long-lasting. I'd say it gave me a good five days of colour, even with showering and using a shower puff. The problem areas of knees and ankles looked great too. I was thrilled.

I felt so confident in both the colour I was left with on my skin, and the fact that there was no chance of leaving smears of fake tan on my clothing in case of sweating.

This is a winner of a product in my eyes and I'm so glad to have been gifted the trial. Thank you BR Team for my new Beauty holy grail!

Firslty, I have to mention the smell. This is by far the best smelling self tan I have ever used. It doesnt smell like tan at all, more like a sublte perfume. I love it.

This tan arrived at the perfect time as I had a wedding to attend that weekend, so that Friday evening was tan time. I prepared my skin by shaving, exfoliating and moisturising the dry areas around my knees and ankles.

As this was a product I'd not used before, I decided to play it safe and just apply one coat to my legs, using the mitt that also came with it. It glided on very easily and the mitt ensures that you dont miss any areas.

The instructions are to wash off after 1 hour for light tan, 2 hours for medium tan and 3 hours for dark. Now of course I want dark so I was waiting the 3 hours - however, after 3 hours I couldn't really see a difference at all so I bit the bullet and decided to sleep in it, as I usually would when I tan. I washed the next morning around 8am and was left with a very subtle natural tan.

I would usually prefer a darker tan, so the following week I went in and done 2-3 coats of tan, otherwise following the same routine as above. I much preferred the results this time - a darker, golden tan that still looked natural - and most importantly - not orange!

Although I'm not convinced of the express nature of this tan as I still required it to process overnight, I will definitely continue to keep using this, the smell combined with the natural colour is a winning combo.

This tanning moouse is easy to use. It dispenses as a foam, and the lightweight formula spreads evenly with the mitt. It also has a pleasant scent, similar to a sunscreen scent.

I left it on for one and a half hours for a light to medium tan on my reasonably pale skin. This resulted in a natural looking tan that looked like I had just gotten back from holiday. I'm planning on doing two hours next time, now I have a feel for the results. I would suggest doing the full three hours if you have medium to dark skin.

It develops after washing off, so don't be alarmed if you don't see results immediately.

I followed the directions of exfoliating and applying moisturiser to dry patches first, I also applied remnants to those patches rather than the full amount. This proved to be effective in keeping it even. I applied this a week ago and there is no sign of fade so far.

Hi everyone.I only received my can of St Tropez about eight days ago- so I’ve only had the chance to use it once fully so my daughter also tried.As it was a lovely colour we let it go 3 hours not faded off yet 8 days later.We both left it on for three hours as we wanted a deeper colour-it was really lovely natural golden.My daughter is more lighter skin than me and with the three hours it turned us both into a really lovely golden bronze,hers slightly darker,as if we had been on holiday for a week!It wasn’t difficult to put on.However we did apply on each others backs so no streaks/hard to reach-were very careful about exfoliating first,and drying our skin properly before where we applied it, I would definitely recommend it to you all. I think paler skins would start with one hour of tanning maybe. Then you could have option to reapply/go darker if you wanted .And it’s worth having the matching mitt. I think that really helped apply the product in an even way.It just made me feel like that post holiday feel,& nice wearing no makeup looking tan.

This is a great tanning mousse that I'd recommend to everyone. The packaging is great - good quality, no flimsy cheap plastic, and easy to pump out. I used the St Tropez tanning mitt that was also provided. It smells really nice - no nasty chemical tan smell! I also appreciate that this is quite a dark formula so I can see exactly where I've applied it. I left it on for one hour to see how a "light" tan looks, which just takes away my winter paleness (my legs haven't really seen the sun this summer) so that was enough for me and I was happy with this. I tried again and left it on for two hours which gave me a deeper tan but not so much it looked fake. I had to moisturise my entire feet and ankles because the tan really stuck to the dry bits and they looked dirty! So moisturise moisturise moisturise!
