St. Tropez Fake Tan, Self Tan Express Gel, 1 Hour Tan, Vegan Tanning Gel, 100 Percent Natural Tanning Active, 200ml

As described, genuine product at a great price. Have tried others but much prefer this fake tan.

Good coverage and Colour.

I am not one to complain I bought this in August and feel I have given it enough time for me to give my review this is useless I have kept it on overnight and also various other times the only difference I have ever seen a slight difference in colour.I usually buy the mousse which I will be going back to as this is not fit for purpose also my daughter purchased same and has said the same my message to all is not to buy.

Really nice to apply and as its tinted you don't miss parts of your body. Because its a gel it glides on beautifully, I use a tanning mitt to apply to my legs then after doing my legs I use what's left on the mitt and wipe over my face and neck.The results on my face were great, a healthy glow whilst 'taking' and once washed off it still gave me a fresh glow which I wanted rather than a tanned look at this time of year. My legs were very different though. The colour was good whilst the gel was on but after I'd washed the tinted gel off in the bath my legs looked Trumpian orange. The orange shade did disappear over 48 hours though and my legs looked like they do after a natural tan has almost faded. I think if my legs were still very tanned the colour wouldn't look as orange and any patches not caught by the sun would be evened out. I'm on the second week after one application and the colour is almost gone, so longevity is good.I was expecting much more from St Tropez, an actual brown colour would have been preferred rather than an orangey brown. For the price its the least I could have expected. I appreciate everybody's colour experience will be based upon their skin tone. I'm naturally blonde and have a warm skin tone that tans extremely easily and I do go quite dark so I expected a colour similar to how I tan.It's good to use in the winter because your legs are mostly covered and having tanned legs keeps that corned beef look away but I doubt I'd use it in the spring before I begin wearing shorts.

Very happy

I've successfully used Fake Bake for years, but bought At Tropez this year on the recommendation of my beautician, although I'm not sure if she uses this exact product. I'd tried a high street branded mousse first but found it a bit messy.The first time I used it, I exfoliated and moisturised elbows and knees etc as usual, and washed it off after 2 hours as I was starting to look a bit orange. It all washed away with no results. I have fairly pale skin but thought 2 out of the 3 recommended hours would be a good first application.The second time, a few days later, I applied it at 6.30pm and left it overnight. This resulted in the glow I'd wanted. I have to say that it did last well.Starting to look a bit patchy after about a week, I scrubbed it all off and did another overnight application. This time with the same results as the first 2 hour application, zero colour after showering.I'm now doing another 3 hour application. It shouldn't be this much of a faff.Things I've learned: gel/lotion is better than mousse, since I can't apply it in the bathroom, and gel is easier to direct onto the glove than mousse; Fake Bake has a better guide colour that this gel; whatever product you use, it will end up smelling of biscuit, but this is one of the best; I actually prefer overnight treatments as it's awkward to fit it around other things during the day, and at the moment I'd rather be outside in my free time; to touch up hand, feet, and face, use a little on a wet brush, I just used a cheap wide, flat paintbrush I'd bought a while ago for face painting but never used.I do like the pump, the mousse I bought dribbled after use, but you can twist the top of this one and it stays really properly closed off.Hope someone finds this helpful.

First time trying this and I’m impressed !!! I wanted a nice natural looking tan for my wedding day, I’m fair and pretty pale. I left it on for three hours and it didn’t disappoint didn’t leave me looking like an orange haha or streaky it’s got a nice natural sun kissed look too it. If your looking for that dark spray tan look I wouldn’t recommended but a lovely natural looking tan I would definitely recommend. Would buy again !

Quite expensive for a fake tan thought I would try but it's not great. You have to put on I have left it on all day even though it says to wash off after 1 hour for light tan, 3 hours for dark. Nothing dark about it. I honestly get a better result from using dove moisturiser. In fact I washed this off had a tiny tint so put on dove tinted moisturiser and had a better result. I wish I never waisted my money. Won't be buying again
