I purchased the St Tropez Gradual Tan Mousse as I love the permanent bronzing mousse from St Tropez and am looking for a gradual way to give me the slight sun-kissed glow look that is streak free and helps prolong my fake tan.
On the bottle, the blurb states: "This enriched, nourishing body moisturiser cleverly combines serious skin care benefits with a healthy touch of bronze. Infused with soothing aloe vera, this lotion will help give you smoother skin, while building a gradual tan, every day.
The gradual bronzing mousse comes in a pump bottle with aloe vera which I found easy to pump out and smooth over my body. It pumps out in a white foam, which can be a bit difficult to see where you have applied the tan; but the positive is that it goes on smoothly and rubs in clear. The mousse, however, applies very softly and smoothly over your skin, and you only need one-two pumps for each area, i.e 2 pumps for each leg, 1 pump for each arm and 2 pumps for body etc. I find the lightly fluffy foam applies very gently over your skin, and is almost fragrence free- I cant smell chemical smells of the tan much at all.
This is one of the nicest gradual tanners ive tried- as a buildable tan it gives a nice tanned apperance without going orange- after first application its a beautiful golden colour- I personally only need to use this twice a week, because it gives me a nice glow. I personally like this product for my legs because they are so white this gives a gorgeous nice glow colour. If you miss a patch during application, its hard to see and with next application its disappears.
However, for this product to work efficiently I still feel that you need to really exfoliate, and a little extra moisturiser on dry patches, and you really need to wash your hands heaps after application- even though this is a gradual tan lotion.
A heads up- this gradual tanner is quite strong- as in, after first application I can get a strong colour- so be careful, and it can streak so apply as evenly as you can. I use the light/ medium tanner for this! Love it, perfect for those who want gradual but a beautiful golden glow with barely any scent.
