But anyways, my tan was a dark, brown color, which I loved. It looked so natural and didn’t look like I used a self tanner. It was overall a pretty even tan (besides my feet which looked funky). Usually the darker your tan, the worse it fades, so I kind of expected this. But it still didn’t look good. My skin looked very lizard like and scaley. Depending on your skincare routine your tan will last up to 7 days and fade even.To get upto 3 more days of your tan, ensure to exfoliate every 2-3 days (this will also ensure an even fade) and use our Prep and Maintain Moisturiser daily to give your skin the hydration it needs. Our Self Tan Extra Dark Mousse has a dark tint to help guide your application, so you can simply buff the foam in with a Mitt and be rest assured to have a flawless finish everytime.

We recommend applying Self Tan Mousses, Lotions & Mists with a Mitt. Our top tip from our experts is to turn the Mitt on your hand or try popping your Mitt on a wooden spoon for that extra reach! Or why not try our Self Tan Bronzing Mists, their 360 nozzles are perfect for those hard to reach areas. The fresh scent was still there, albeit faint.

Perfect for looking like you’ve spent 1 week in the Caribbean or 2 weeks in Bora Bora!I was paranoid to touch anything because I didn’t wanna stain anything, and I was worried my tan would get ruined. St. Tropez Extra Dark Mousse smells pretty good! It has a fresh, kind of clean scent. The smell is very strong, that’s my one complaint about it. But I guess that it needs to be strong to cover up all the DHA in it. But once I got out and dried off, I was left with a dark tan. My tan was brown, not orange at all. I really loved the color it gave me; the color was by far my favorite thing about my self tanner. However, I don’t know that it’s THAT different of a color than their dark self tanner. It may be darker by one or two shades.

How to maintain your dark glow

The smell is good, but applying it is SO messy. It has one of the darkest guides I’ve ever seen. After I was done applying it, I looked like a streaky mess! My husband couldn’t stop laughing at me. You do need to make sure you don’t get the guide on anything as it will stain, but I have to say the color payoff this one produces is worth it.

Our 100% Clean products are always free from parabens, Formaldehydes, Formaldehyde Releasing Agents, Phthalates, Mineral Oil, Oxybenzone, Coal Tar, Hydroquinone, Triclosanor Triclocarbon, Retinyl palmitate, Sulfates, SLES, SLES The guide is also very hard to blend in, and it never fully absorbs. So I was left looking VERY streaky, and I was worried about how that would affect my final tan.

What is the best fake tan for my skin tone?

I’d definitely use this mousse again to achieve a dark tan, but I don’t think it’s my Holy Grail ultra dark tanner. Detailed Opinion: All our products are safe to use on the face, however we recommend using just the excess on your mitt for application or trying our Self Tan Purity Bronzing Water Face Mist for the easiest face tan, bursting with skincare actives!
