St Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse

St Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse

I have light/medium skin but when I am going to an event or out for the evening, I often like to self tan. I have used St Tropez since I was in my teens and I love their products and find them incredibly easy to use.

If I am going to an event I will usually opt for a professional St Tropez spray tan at a salon, but most of the time I apply the tan myself. I use the St Tropez Bronzing Mousse, as I find it more easy to apply than the lotion or spray and always get an event, streak free finish.

I buy my St Tropez from http://www.boots.com and it is £30.50 for 240ml. I apply my tan with a mitt and like to spray the mousse onto the mitt and work into my skin. The tan itself leaves a slight guideline when you apply it so you can see what areas you have done easily enough. The tan dries on the skin within a couple minutes and develops over a few hours. I personally like to sleep in self tan and shower off in the morning, as I believe you get a much more deeper tan.

Before I apply my tan, I always shower and exfoliate, focusing on knees, elbows, hands and feet. This ensures that the tan will apply evenly and avoid the tan appearing patchy on dry areas. In terms of fragrance, St Tropez has a floral scent, but I personally can still smell the tell tail 'self tan' scent, but that doesn't bother me as once you have rinsed off it is not an issue.

Overall, I have tried so many self tanning products on the market, some high end and some drugstore, but St Tropez is the brand I have gone back to time and time again. This product isn't cheap, but you get a lovely, more natural looking even tan, so for me, that's money well spent!
