St.Tropez is well known for delivering a natural-looking golden glow. This is due to our unique blend of tanning agents and skin conditioning ingredients that work to the individual’s skin tone to deliver a natural finish that will not develop ‘orange’. Although there are no known dangers of using tanning products, they can sometimes cause an allergic reaction, particularly during pregnancy when hormone levels are high and skin becomes more sensitive. As with all treatments, St.Tropez recommends that a patch test is undertaken at least 24 hours before a tanning treatment and that this is of paramount importance for pregnant women. For anyone who is pregnant and suffering with a pre-existing condition or existing health concern, we would advise to consult their doctors prior to starting a tanning regime. St.Tropez Self Tan contains a higher concentration of the tanning agent (DHA), which provides a natural looking tan that lasts up to 5 days after just one application. Self Tan Classic, Express and Dark contain a tinted guide colour for ease of application (so you can’t miss any patches) and also benefit from an instant wearable colour while your self tan develops underneath. Self Tan should ideally be left to develop between 4 to 8hrs (excluding Express) before showering off the tinted guide colour to reveal your natural-looking tan. The developed colour will then last between 3 and 10 days depending on which product was used and how the tan is maintained. Before applying your fake tan, prep the areas you want to tan with an { exfoliator} to make sure your skin is nice and smooth.

For optimum results using our Self Tan products, we advise avoiding showering, swimming, sweating for 4—8 hours (ideally 8hrs) to allow your Self Tan to develop on the skin, with the exception of Self Tan Express and Extra Dark where you can rinse off after 1-3 hours and 4 hours respectively, depending on your desired depth of tan Wondering how to maintain your St. Tropez tan?

Customer Reviews

As everyone’s skin tone and type is individual to them, we highly recommend carrying out a patch test 24hrs prior to applying any tanning product for the first time. HOW DO YOU CARRY OUT A PATCH/SKIN TEST? Love looking bronzed but don’t want to risk any damage to your skin? The answer is simple: fake tan. And if you’re in search of a { tanning} brand loved by all, then it has to be { St. Tropez} (pronounced san-tro-pay, in case you were wondering). I have a confession. Up until last week, I had never used self-tanner on my face. Although I love a faux glow, and have tested probably 20-plus self-tanners for Allure, I've always been nervous about applying something to my face. Would it irritate my sensitive skin? Turn my face a frightening shade of orange that I couldn't scrub off? Well, I can confidently say those fears have been put to bed now that I've tried the St. Tropez Self Tan Purity Bronzing Water Face Mist.
