    Perfect body bronzer

    This lotion provides the perfect natural bronze for any occasion. I normally have olive skin and I found that this made my skin look more bronzed which helped tint my skin colour. I used it for my formal and it didn't look orange or streaky at all!
    I like the smell of fake tan so the lotion to me smelt nice while applying but during the remainder of the day (while it was drying) it didn't smell appealing.

    Any Tips?: 
    If you want to go for a pretty dark shade, apply once and let dry for a while before applying another layer
    Ideal For...: 
    Everyday use (for frequent appliers) as well as events (for people who use fake tan less often)

    The BEST ever

    This is the basis of my tan every summer. It is a lovely believable colour. It doesn't streak. It doesn't smell. The colour is buildable. It leaves a brown tint so you pick some colour straight away and you can see where you have been.
    I know people rave about the mousse and I use it as a top up when I am in a hurry but this for me gives the best coverage, lasts well and spreads well.
    I exfoliate before, moisturise the areas I want less colour and always use St Tropez tan remover to wash my hands after.
    Mousse if I have an event during the week, then after a week exfoliate and repeat process.

    Any Tips?: 
    Exfoliate first, moisturise any areas you want less tan eg tops of feet, ankles, knees and elbows. Start at the bottom of your legs and work up. Wash with hands with soap and then St Tropez Tan remover.
    Ideal For...: 
    ME and everyone. The best tan ever, all the range is fantastic.

    Great 'tan' look

    This tan is my go to product when I don't have enough time to get a salon spray tan.
    It is incredibly easy to use and the lotion does not give off a bad scent.
    I usually apply at night and leave on until the morning for a deep tan glow.
    The colour lasts about a week if you maintain it correctly.
    I always keep a bottle in my bathroom cupboard just in case.
    A great product! Like all tans, it does stain hands a fair bit, so use gloves when applying and only apply on the tops of your hands at the end to avoid orange palms :)

    Ideal For...: 
    A quick tan at home

    Salon Results!!

    This tan is a fail-safe alternative to salon spray tans!! I had never tried tanning at home, and I had heard that the St Tropez range is fabulous, so I bought a bottle and gave it a shot.

    The lotion comes out chocolate brown, which is frightening at first, but you just rub it on in a circular motion until it lightens (or "emulsifies") a little. It makes it really easy to see if you have missed any spots.

    After you have applied it, it does look quite streaky, but don't panic - it comes out really nicely when you shower it off!

    I find two separate applications of this tan give me a deep bronzed colour and the first time I used it, I actually got asked where I got my tan done - it turns out beautifully!

    Be sure to watch the video on the St Tropez website first - they give you step by step instructions on the best way to apply the tan. Also, WEAR GLOVES! I always use latex plastic gloves to protect my hands for a super-professional finish.

    The smell is also strangely pleasant for fake-tan, and it doesn't rub off or stain your clothing/sheets. Whilst it is probably one of the more expensive products on the market - it is absolute value for money!

    AMAZING RESULTS!!

    LOVE IT<3
    the best tan on the market by far :)
    as a beauty therapist i would only recomend my clients to do a cream application tan at home
    -comes on brown so you have an even application, cream is by far the easyest to apply
    -light fresh smell thats not over powering and the usual fake tan smell
    -doesnt come off patchy at all
    - green based product so comes on nice and brown
    -

    Any Tips?: 
    -use bare hands to apply
    -always put a night or two before an event
    -Use the everyday body in dark to keep your beautiful bronzed colour toped up and you wont go patchy at all!
    Ideal For...: 
    perfect for all skin types

    Take me to St Tropez!

    I have used, and loved, St Tropez for about 4 years. While I rely on salon spray tans often, St Tropez is a great back up.
    Immediate colour from the bronzed, developing to a natural tan that lasts for up to a week. It fades naturally without leaving patchy mottled skin!

    Any Tips?: 
    I have found that you need to be generous with the lotion... I usually do two coats at the same time to ensure even coverage.
    Ideal For...: 
    Ideal for anyone!

    where u on holidays at the caribbean????

    one word, WOW! yeah is that good, u know that orange bronzed look that u get from sunless lotions? well u not gonna get that with this one! i've tried a few products on the market, and this one soooo does the trick! u gonna look really tanned, i am already olive skin, but i've been using this product for about 1 month an half now, twice a week, and i just look like i go to to the beach everyday, but i actually go once every 2 weeks :) well, it is expensive, at least i think it is, one small btl lasted me 8 applications, am small tho, its a very dark intense lotion that looks like mud when u put on, but after u shower an take the excess off the next day the colour is flawless an no streaks at all!!!! i use on my face as well, and is as good the same, but make sure u buy one of those glove aplicators otherwise ur hands will go very dark too and it wont come off for like 3 days!! again, its pricey but for the result u get, its worth to spend those extra few bucks!!!! ;)
