Apply your chosen gradual ta n n ing moisturiser with your hand or a mitt, smoothing carefully from the legs upwards. We recommend using circular motions to ensure all areas are evenly covered. Step 3: Wash your hands I HAVE NEVER USED ST.TROPEZ BEFORE, IS THERE ANYTHING I SHOULD BE AWARE OF BEFORE FOLLOWING THE APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS?

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! All St.Tropez products can be used on the face however, we also have products that have been designed specifically with delicate skin in mind. For the easiest way to tan your face, try our Self Tan Purity Bronzing Water Face Mist This tropically scented transparent tan requires no rinsing or blending so you can simply spritz & glow under or over makeup, day or night. Infused with hyaluronic acid and natural skincare actives, your glow will subtly develop over 4-8 hours. The St.Tropez Self Tan Dark range contains our innovative Melanin Technology™ to ensure your tan tailors to your individual skin tone. The tanning agent (Vegetan Premium) targets more of the brown pigments in the skin for a darker, but more natural tan taking you a few shades darker than the Self Tan range, so even pale skins can benefit without the fear of going too dark.The St Tropez brand understands that not everyone has the same skin undertones and tan preferences, which is why they have formulated tanning products in a wide variety of shades. Whether you prefer a light, medium or deep tan colour, St Tropez products ensure your skin always looks natural. This is why their iconic formula is split between Light/Medium, and Medium/Dark, in a bottle that you can just apply and wash off in the shower, or for everyday use to achieve a more gradual glow. Cell turnover on the face occurs much faster than on the body, so you should expect your facial tan to fade much faster too. When the 2 tans no longer match up, simply exfoliate the face and begin the tanning cycle again. Maintain your tan for up to 3 days longer with daily moisturisation to keep skin hydrated and exfoliate twice a week for even fade. Are your products vegan friendly? We use 100% natural tanning active in all our Tanning products. We also have a range of vegan friendly formulations which you can shop here.

Whilst there is nothing in the products that would be harmful to children, we don’t promote self tan products to children. For our professional spray tans we have clear safety guidelines that our St.Tropez approved salons are trained to follow: we would not advise children have a spray tan but if parental permission has been given, then a parent/guardian must be present during the tan. We do have Instant Tan at-home, cosmetic products which are designed to be washed off that you may deem to be more suitable.
