St.Tropez Gradual Tan contains less tanning agent than Self Tan, providing a light sunkissed glow. It does not contain a tinted guide colour which is ideal for discreet tanning every day and should still be left on the skin to develop over time (although you will see results from 4 to 12 hours). This product range is ideal for those who wish for a light tan or to build up their depth of colour. Gradual Tan can be applied daily or every other day to build greater depth of colour, but it will not develop as dark as a Self Tan product. How do Self and Gradual Tans work? This is great for me as the issue I have with some is they dry my skin out so as the tan fades it looks scaley and weird. This still has citric acid but I suspect not as much as St Moritz, I also liked that it contains Aloe Vera leaf extract and glycerine which is a humectant attracting moisture from the environment. It can also draw moisture from the lower layers of the skin to the surface layers but I wouldn’t think it’s in such high concentration to cause any drying.

Say hello to flawless, long-lasting tan perfection! GLAMOUR-approved: “I’ll be totally honest, I’m fairly new to the fake tan scene. Two years ago the closest I’d get would be a gradual moisturiser which, on my olive-y skin tone, wouldn’t do all that much. Bondi Sands’ self-tan foam is the second proper fake tan I’ve ever used and I can honestly say it’ll be the only one I use for the rest of my life. I’ve got vitiligo which is less noticeable in the winter but really prominent throughout summer, and, while I don’t shy away from embracing it at all, the sheer contrast of my natural skin against my patches can often make me feel self-conscious. I’d always written off the idea of using a self-tanner, though, as I worried the vitiligo would simply go orange, but having tried this magic formula I really had nothing to worry about. It goes on seamlessly (I recommend exfoliating and shaving the day before to avoid it settling in your pores), dries in perfect timing and smells like a tropical holiday.” Cons: It clings to dry patches a little bit, so make sure you've exfoliated before (and moisturise for the duration of wear). With over 95% natural and 98% biodegradable ingredients, our perfect mix of premium ingredients helps you create the ultimate streak-free, natural tan. Infused with a Vitamin Blend Complex featuring B5, C and Vitamin E, this skin-kind formula is dermatologically tested, made in the UK, and all their tans are vegan and PETA approved.
