First off super easy to use just pump onto your mitt and glide away. The guide colouring isn't that great, I found it wasn't easy to see where you have applied vs where you haven't applied (other brands do this really well). The smell as soon as you press that pump is pretty strong, I don't know if I was a massive fan of that aspect. I do like how quick it is to process the tan (one hour to three hours) - I left mine for 2.5 hours. As outlined in the description post shower the tan does look light which was slightly dishearting but it did develop well over the remaining hours. I would recommend giving it a go if it was on sale or listed for a decent price however I think there are other brands which go on nicer, give a better guide and don't have such a rich scent.

St. Tropez Self Tan Express Advanced Bronzing Mousse
Forget the fuss when you want to look bronzed. Just tan, shower and wash in as little as one hour with St.Tropez Self Tan Express Advanced Bronzing Mousse.
This fact-acting self tan with intelligent shade complex not only allows you to choose your depth of tan but continues to develop once the guide colour has been washed off, meaning no more stained bed sheets.
For the times when you need a speedy tanning solution, or when the prospect of leaving your tan to develop for eight hours doesn’t appeal, turn to this St.Tropez best-seller.
Boasting a unique blend of actives for speedy absorption into the skin and instant development on application, you can say goodbye to fuss and mess for good. But that is not all: aside from being quick-drying, easy-to-apply and supremely lightweight, the actives in St.Tropez Self Tan Express Advanced Bronzing Mousse allow its wearer to pick the shade of tan they desire according to when they wash off the tinted guide colour.
Whatever the outfit, occasion or mood, this fully-customisable self tan can provide the perfect skin-finish to match. Take note that post-shower skin will be light in colour, but the self tan actives in St.Tropez Self Tan Express will continue to work for up to eight hours, developing into your chosen shade, for a streak-free, natural looking tan that lasts for days.
St.Tropez Self Tan Express Advanced Bronzing Mousse uses a Vegan friendly, 100% naturally derived tanning agent and intelligent shade technology to ensure that your tan is tailored to your individual skin-tone for a natural looking, streak-free golden glow. It is also paraben, sulphate and phthalate free.
Reviews
No wonder this tanning mousse is a best seller. It is super express, no need for a long development time, it's streak-free and gives a natural golden glow that lasts for days!
I love how express this tan is! You can shower after 1 hour if you want a light tan. Or leave it up to 3 hours for a darker tan. No need to leave it on for 8 hours before showering. The tan will continue to develop for 8 hours after you have showered, so straight after a shower it will be slightly lighter but continue to darken once the guide colour had been washed off.
It absorps into the skin quickly so is nice and fast drying. It is easy to apply and goes on streak-free, especially with the help of the velvet tanning mitt. No mess, fast and super simple. What could be better?!
It is also vegan, and paraben, sulphate and phthalate free.
Tips: Use alongside the velvet luxe tanning mitt and you will get a super easy, streak-free tan with no mess
I suck when it comes to self tan….I always would look streaky, and have an orange tinge (I’m a naturally tan person, but pale in winter).
I preped my skin as advised, and went to applying the tan with the mitt….the mousse is tinted so you can see where you had applied. I was tempted to leave overnight, but I didn’t. I washed off after 3hrs and thought, ok…I look a bit tan but nothing major. I was dubious about the “developing over 8hrs”…was thinking “yeah right”.
I was so wrong - woke up the next day looking GOLDEN!! I was amazed and extremely happy with the result. The lower part of my legs are normally tan resistant - even if I am in the sun! But my pasty lower legs tanned as well!! Reapplied 2 days later just to see what would happen, and I swear my tan looked even better!
I’m on day 5 now and the tan is definitely fading, there are some patches, but they’re barely noticeable.
Overall…amazing product…I’m sold! This is my new go too.
Tips: Definitely use the mitt for application….you’ll end up with a beautiful finish
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.
Tips: Have an old towel or sheet on any furniture you will be sitting on while the colour develops. Even if you think your legs are dry there will be some product transfer to whatever you are sitting on.
I haven't bottle tanned in years! My fondest memories come to me from the 90's. A decade of orange, patchy, stinky skin... awful. So I was super keen to give this a whirl, thank you BR. I got prepped and decided to go for a 3 hour bake for a dark tan. I did it to the minute, then rinsed (showered). I then went to bed in anticipation of waking up to my fully developed glorious dark tan. It was light. I was disappointed and thought perhaps I was a little miserable on the application, so I did another round (a little more generous with the mousse) and let it bake for 5 hours before rinsing. Yep, I wanted to go DARK. I didn't. I would say my efforts resulted in a medium tan. Don't get me wrong, I think the product is awesome and the colour is beautifully natural, but I would anticipate quite a few applications to get a very dark tan. NOTE: My skin tone is medium warm tone. My Summers begin with a burn and end in a tan.
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!!!
So the blurb on this tan had my hopes up and I'm happy to say I'm not disappointed!
I am the unfortunate owner of skin so pale my darling partner once asked me why my legs looked blue lol!
I've experimented with so many tans over the years with varying results but the most common results were a yuck smelling orange cast to my skin with, shall we say, uneven colour, especially around the knees and elbows.
I'm stoked to say there was not even a hint of oompa loompa orange to be seen with this, not with a one hour application and not with a 4 hour one.
The only time I really got a hint of that fake tan chemical smell was in the rinse off stage in the shower, happy to report than on drying and with a liberal smothering of body oil it was gone for good.
It may have been the glove applicatior but this was by far the least streaks I've managed with a fake tan
The mousse has a light brown colour on application, great for oleiss blue legs over here as I could tell where I'd applied product already and keep the coat nice and even.
Alll in all this is a definite keeper for me, the fact that the packaging is my favorite colour is an added bonus!
Tips: Make sure you are shaved and exfoliated before using! For the best results, also rub in a little lotion or body oil into your dry spots, knees, elbows heels so that the dry skin doesn't suck up more tan than you need.
Also, USE THE GLOVE!
I love how quick the tan develops and its such a great colour :) it wore really well too, so patches!
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!
As far as fake tans go, I really liked this one. The colour is the best part, it is super bronzey, not too orange and not too green. It really looks like I have been on an island holiday.
The guide colour was pretty light once it was blended in, which did make it a little hard to tell where I had been or if I had missed a patch. I checked the colour of my skin every hour for three hours, and then went to bed to sleep in it to give it a real chance at seeing how dark it would get. As always, the guide got very dark and it looked patchy, but when it washed off I was pleasantly surprised at how even it was. I had missed one patch on my inner arm, but i just got a little bit of the tan on the mit, blended it into the patch and a few hours later you would never know!
The scent was really light when it was first applied, but the next day it was a bit more like a lighter version of the standard fake tan smell.
It dried really fast, i was able to put a shirt on and watch tv after 5 to 10 minutes.
I also tested removing it with my fake tan remover, and it came off well too. I appreciate we all want fake tan to last, but I am not here for looking patchy and when my tan has done it's dash, i am removing it!
I would definitely use this again.
Tips: I use a fluffy make up brush and a little bit of fake tan to do my hands and it was an awesome trick! I just need to get between my fingers a bit more next time.
