St. Tropez Self Tan Express Advanced Bronzing Mousse

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.

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.

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!!!

I love how this mousse gave me that sun-kissed glow I’ve been missing. It is very lightweight, smell is great, it doesn't streak at all.. It required very little rubbing in because it melted gently and evenly into my skin. I kept it on the full 3 hours, and when I showered the first time I gently washed with soap and didn't scrub. This tan lasted for more than a week and got lots of compliments!

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 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.

I’m very pale (and prefer to fake tan to protect my skin from the sun) so was really excited to try this - especially the fact that it is supposed to develop so quick! The first time I used it I thought I would leave it on for 3-4 hours which was recommended for very dark results to give it a real test but I will say it wasn’t as dark as I would have thought! I reapplied the next day and again left it for about 3 hours. It does keep developing but I felt like this got the perfect sun kissed glow for me. It applied well, no lines or patches at all and didn’t really notice the smell which is great! Overall I’d definitely recommend!

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 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!
