The St Tropez brand was founded in 2007 by Judy Naake, who wanted to help everyone find the perfect sunkissed glow, even without the sun. We all have cult beauty products that we feel that we can’t live without, and for some, this is their tan. St Tropez aims to instil in every user confidence that can only come from even, golden skin, so the brand has teamed up with body-confident model Ashley Graham to convey this air of positivity through their line. Use our Gradual Tan Body or Face Lotions in place of your usual moisturiser once a day or every other day as desired to maintain an everyday natural looking tanFrom a light, sunkissed radiance to a deep, golden bronze, a gradual tan is great way to build a natural-looking glow that’s tailored to you. As one of the easiest fake tans to apply, we show you how to use St.Tropez gradual tan and offer our insight into some of the best products to try. Why use a gradual tan? Easy-to-apply. Simply spritz under, over or instead of makeup for a natural post-holiday glow and skincare boost The biscuity smell that everyone associates with self tan is caused by the tanning agent DHA (dihydroxyacetone). We teamed up with top fragrance house Givaudan to create our signature fragrance, featuring our mood-boosting technology, which works to not only mask the smell but also eliminate it by making it undetectable to the nose or brain. This fragrance contains notes of bergamot and green apple and combines all those feel-good moments and emotional triggers to capture an invigorating holiday feeling, helping to make the whole tanning process a lot more pleasant and enjoyable! We have also introduced two new fragrances, so you now have more choice. Our award-winning Self Tan Purity Bronzing Waters have a light and refreshing tropical fragrance, while our Bronzing Watermelon Infusion Mousse and Lotion have a juicy and fresh watermelon scent. We’d love to know which St.Tropez scent you love the most! You don’t want your hands to be darker than the rest of your body – it’s a major tanning faux pas! Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly to avoid staining or over tanning them. Step 4: Enjoy the glow!
