St. Tropez Self Tan Express Advanced Bronzing Mousse

What girl doesn’t like bronzed all year round? With the St. Tropez Self Tan Express Advanced Bronzing Mousse you can. Loving this product. Application is made super easy with the velvet applicator mitt. My tan was flawless and streak free. No more waiting for a tan to develop over multiple hours or even over night either, you can wash off in as little as 1 hour depending on you preferred shade level: 1 hour-light, 2 hours -medium or 3 hours-dark. I went with 3 hour (dark), and my tan was even, warm and left my skin perfectly sun kissed and glowing. Since you do not need to leave to develop overnight, once washed off, your tan continues to develop, and your sheets stayed white. Will definitely be using again to maintain my summer glow.

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.

Love this fake tan! it leaves you with a lovely sun kissed look and not waking up looking like an oompa loompa if left to develop overnight. It smells nice, and applies evenly with the mitt. You can wash off after 3-4 hours and still have a good colour

Can you hear the self-tanning angels singing? I certainly can after trialing this product! With the exception of one single tanning product that is no longer made, I have never come across a fake tan that didn't make my snow white legs look like roasted carrots... until now. This product is the holy grail of fake tans and I'm hooked on it. Let's start with the scent, not overpowering, easy on the nasal passages and definitely was not giving the usual fake tan odour. Big tick in that column. Consistency of the product was great being a mousse, not runny and not greasy like the cream/lotion type tanning products are. Application with the velvet glove was a breeze, although the glove could do with being a bit longer in length so it sits higher/well above the wrist. Good coverage was easy and using the glove ensured no streaks and an even distribution of the product. Because I'm lily white in complexion I opted for the light tan, it recommends washing it off after an hour but after about 40 minutes I liked the depth of colour so chose to wash it off early. Love love love the colour! A natural looking glow of colour, the depth of the colour was enough to look natural on my legs and not looking like I'd dipped myself in cocoa and paprika as other products have before. I got 4 days out of the colour before I reapplied the product again. And again only left it on for 40mins before washing it off. I absolutely love this product and it will be a mainstay in my arsenal for the summer months.

I really like this tanning mousse its quick and easy to use and it doesn't have a really strong scent to it like some do. I received it in the mail after picking it from the beauty vault, and I was a little surprised of how small the bottle was, its more like a tester you could probably use it on your whole body once, maybe twice? but I choose to just use it on my legs because that's where I need it the most so it lasted me a little while. I like that you can choose the darkness of your tan, the first time I used it I left it on for 2 hours before washing it off for a medium tan, but after that I found I liked the darker tan which is 3 hours. Its easy to apply with a tanning mitt and comes out a really nice golden colour which is nice and natural. The tan lasts about a week and just slowly fades away without going patchy. I think I would purchase again but I would want a bigger bottle just incase I'm halfway through using it on myself and it runs out.

First time using this brand and I'm so impressed.

Was super easy to apply with the velvet mitt, only needed to use a small amount on each leg and arm. I was only going to leave it on for an hour before showering but ended up leaving it on for three hours and the results are amazing. I thought with me having super pale skin I would of over done the colour but this was not the case, the shade is perfect for me and looks super natural and streak free. It comes in a very generous sized 200ml pump bottle and is vegan-friendly that is super quick-drying, non-sticky and hydrating with a no self tan smell. This is definitely the only self tanning product I will be using from now on, after trying many over the years only to get sub standard results. St. Tropez Self Tan Express is my number one!!!

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!

As I struggle to tan I purchased this product hoping to get a natural looking tan so I could finally wear shorts and skirts within giving people arc-eyes from staring at my white as milk legs.

Pump works great and product applied easily. Spreads great and didn't leave streaks. I guess using a mitt would work easier as I had an orangy tint on my nails even though I washed my hands immediately after application.

Instead of washing It off I decided to leave it on overnight to see what end result I would get. Even so I didn't get a really dark tan but I guess on ablank white canvas you cant expect miracles.

Liked the product, looked more natural than most other fake tans. Will purchase again.

I read positive reviews of this on BR, and after a disastrous experience with Le Tan products I was excited to try St Tropez.

WOW. Within an hour I already had some colour, but after 3 hours I was sooo happy with my tan! A truly even, golden glow.

It definitely has the classic ‘fake tan’ smell, but it’s not as bad as other products (Le Tan).

I really can’t wait to use this in summer!

I got this product from the Beauty Vault. I love St Tropez Tanning products as their shade tends to be more tan and less orange, especially on my pale skin, so I was hopeful this product would be the same. I wasn't disappointed.

The mousse consistency makes it really easy to apply, and apply without streaks, as it wipes on but doesn't set so fast that you don't have time to even up the application. You can afford to apply a little slower than other tinted tanning products I've used to get a streak free finish.

I used a tanning mitt with the product for a really even, non-streaky application. Found about 2-3 pumps is enough for half a leg, or a whole arm. Any residual I'd use on feet, heels etc. where they don't need much to get a little natural looking colour.

The mousse itself doesn't smell strong and over-powering like other products. You can definitely smell it but even with the 1-3 hours develop time, you don't really notice the scent too much! There was no noticeable transfer of the product onto clothing either, during the developing time. I did leave it a good 20 minutes before popping clothes on though.

I'm very pale, so left the product for the 3 hours for some decent colour, and then showered it off. What was left was a nice natural bronze tan. Not too yellow or orange, but you could tell I had a tan. The 3 hours was definitely plenty for me. It lasts several days - close to a week, and the fade is natural looking.

I'll definitely purchase again. It's a great match for my skin tone, and easily the most even application of tanning products I've used.
