I used to be a sun goddess years ago. Tanning beds, baby oil, the whole nine yards. But as I got older and we all learned more and more the negative effects of the sun, I started being more careful about my skin. However, I do still love the tanned look. Over the years, I have tried different self-tanning products, some with decent results. Others, not so good.
I just tried St. Tropez Self Tan Express
This product is a bit different from other products I have used. It is a foaming mousse product. The application idea is the same--cover elbows, knees and ankles with lotion first--then apply self-tanner. The self-tanner is in a foaming pump container. I put it on a mitt and rubbed it in in a circular manner. It has a tint to it, so it helped in applying to make sure I got even coverage. Then, after allowing it to dry, I went about my day. For a healthy glow, you rinse after an hour, for a golden bronze 2 hours and 3 hours for a dark tan. The tanning continues for eight ours after you rinsed. I rinsed after 3 hours. I could tell I had a bit of color at the time. By later in the evening, it looked as if I had a pretty nice tan. In fact, the next day my friend was over and I was in shorts and a tank exercising. She asked me if I go to a tanning bed or use a self-tanner. When I told her, she said, "You look amazing. You look like you have been to Florida!" I also liked the results. I couldn't find any streaking. I wouldn't say I have a deep dark tan with the one application, but a nice, even tan.
- Easy application
- Loved the results
- Natural looking tan--color was not orangish
- Doesn't have a strong self-tanning odor
The cons:
- You need to rinse after 1-3 hours
I also tried the St. Tropez Gradual Tan Plus Anti-Ageing Multi-Action Face
cream. It tans, firms and moisturizes. It contains the powerful peptide Matrixl Synthe 6 which can minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It hydrates for up to 24 hours. It is Paraben free and is not tested on animals. I liked the fact that it feels like a moisturizer but gives you a nice, natural glow over time. Another favorite of mine! And not just mine--this was an Allure Best of Beauty Award for best facial tanner!
So, if you are looking for a nice self-tanner that gives you great color and coverage without streaks, you may want to give this a try!
