Can St Tropez Self Tan Be Layered For a Deeper Tan?
Our most iconic, fool proof and natural-looking self tan. This tinted tanning mousse is easy to apply with a Mitt and develops over 6-8 hours into a natural golden glow. Exfoliate and moisturize daily to prolong your tan.
This super lightweight foam has a transparent finish and is enriched with non-pore blocking skincare and dual tanning actives for a natural sunkissed glow that fades evenly. It’s one of the speediest self tans around, so you can shower after an hour.
Can I layer for a deeper tan?
Achieve a deep and natural-looking st tropez self tan with this tinted mousse that adapts to your individual skin tone. Easy to apply, the formula glides on smoothly with a dual-sided mitt and dries quickly. Plus, it’s enriched with Aromaguard technology to eliminate the usual self tan smell.
It’s also hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin. It has a light fragrance that fades over time.
Exfoliate and moisturize before applying, especially to dry areas such as hands, feet, ankles, and wrists. Leave on for up to three hours or longer for a deeper tan. Rinse after four or eight hours and moisturize daily to prolong your tan. All St Tropez Self Tan products contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA) that reacts with oxygen and a protein in the top layer of your skin to give you a sunless glow. The brand heats the sugar cane that its DHA is sourced from to extract it slowly, which helps to prevent the telltale orange tinge found in some cheap fake tans.
Can I layer for a darker tan?
One of the faster self-tanners around, this St Tropez formula served up a light tan in an hour (we recommend showering afterward to stop color development). We love its dense and fluffy texture—our testers thought it spread much easier than clear foams—and its tint, which helped them pinpoint areas that needed more.
This tried-and-tested dark mousse delivers a natural-looking, long-lasting, deep dark bronze with melanin technology that tailors to your individual skin tone. It has a darker olive guide color to help with application and continues to develop over 4-8 hours into an intense, natural-looking, streak-free gorgeous tan.
It’s also enriched with supercharged skincare ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, plus our new and improved sophisticated fine fragrance. As with any St Tropez product, we recommend exfoliating 24 hours prior to use and moisturizing any dry areas beforehand. This product may stain, so be sure to wear gloves and wash palms after application. Sun safety warning: Repeated exposure of unprotected skin while tanning increases your risk of skin ageing and skin cancer, even if you don’t burn.
Can I layer for a lighter tan?
St Tropez’s classic range of sunless tanners includes light, medium and dark products to suit a variety of skin tones. Each easy-to-apply product is enriched with aloe vera to nourish the skin and contain Aromaguard fragrance technology to help eliminate the self tanner smell.
The tropically-scented Self Tan Purity Bronzing Mousse is light as a feather, caressing the skin with every stroke and leaving it beautifully nourished. Its tinted formula makes it easy to see where the product has been applied and dries in just four hours.
Our testers found this mousse a dream to apply, particularly with the dual-sided mitt that comes included. The dense, fluffy texture makes it a cinch to spread evenly over the body and the tint serves as a guide, ensuring that no spots are missed. Our testers waited from one hour for a light glow and up to three hours for a medium tan before showering off the guide colour.
Can I layer for a more natural tan?
St Tropez played a large part in reforming self-tanners’ formerly undesirable image and their easy-to-apply products are known for creating a natural-looking finish. Their range includes lotion, gel, spray and mousse formulations to suit different skin tones and desired results. Their Classic products offer light, medium and dark options, while their Express and Sensitive formulas are ideal for darker complexions.
The brand’s multi award-winning 3-in-1 Express tanning mousse is one of the fastest working formulas around. You can leave it on for an hour before showering for a light glow, or up to 3 hours for a deeper bronze tailored to your skin tone. It’s also enriched with premium skin care ingredients including Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid. In addition, it has a delicate fragrance to deliver a luxurious feel. It gave our testers darker color than my top self-tanner pick for beginners, the Jergens Daily Glow, and did so in less time, too. The product is a little more expensive than our other budget pick, but considering the included mitt, lack of bad smell and lightweight feel, it might be worth the extra spend.
