Q&A

Showing 5 out of 130 Questions
Q
Is the applicator mitt included with purchase
Asked by Sunless tan
Official Answer By St. Tropez
The applicator mitt is not included with the individual Mousses, but does come in the Award-Winning Kit, which includes Express, as well as the Express Mini Kit:)Was this answer helpful to you
Q
Can I sleep in the tan? Or will it turn out super dark?
Asked by Doggy
Official Answer By St. Tropez
We recommend leaving the Express Mousse on for 4 hours max for the best result. If you want to sleep in your tan, you can use Classic or Cherry Macaron Mousse for a medium tan, Dark Mousse for a dark tan or Supreme Mousse for our deepest, dark tan:)Was this answer helpful to you
Q
I see the Classic version can last up to 10 days. How about the express? 2-3 days or can we expect up to 10 days also?
Asked by Tiff
Official Answer By St. Tropez
Classic and Express can both last up to 10 days. However, the duration of the tan can vary from person to person due to factors like skin type, activity level, exfoliation, etc., but usually lasts at least 5-7 days. The tan fades down very naturally, but best to moisturize daily and gently exfoliate every 2-3 days. You can reapply as needed to maintain your desired tone.Was this answer helpful to you
Q
Is it possible to apply too much? This is my first time using this brand (am excited to try!:)--the product has been on for an hour and still feels a little tacky. Also, if too much is applied, will it affect the final Glow? Thanks!!
Asked by CatAk
Official Answer By St. Tropez
You really cannot apply too much. The bronze guide color allows you to apply easily seeing where the product is, ensuring no missed spots. Our products work with each person's individual skin tone, so your tan will develop the same tone as your natural tan would. When using Express Bronzing Mousse, wear before showering 1 hour for a light tan, 2 hours for a medium tan and 3-4 hours for a dark tan. Your tan will continue to develop over 8 hours. Happy Tanning!Was this answer helpful to you
Q
Is there something about rinsing that activates the product? That doesnt make sense, but I left it on overnight and notice almost no difference.
Asked by Beachy
Official Answer By St. Tropez
Express Bronzing Mousse is customizable, so rinsing allows you to have three tans in one product. Wear before showering 1 hour for a light tan, 2 hours for a medium tan and 3-4 hours for a dark tan. Your tan will continue to develop over 8 hours. Happy tanning:)Was this answer helpful to you

Great product!

I'm really pale and I've used the original St. Tropez years ago and loved it. I decided to try out this different formula. It was really greasy while I waited the suggested 1-3 hours before rinsing. I was naked for 2 1/2 hours waiting for it to dry a little so I could put a robe on. Didn't happen. I...

Does wash of food

I love how it looks when it goes before you are even near water. Th problem is even if you wait around three hours it does not give that deep rich tan that they talk about. That deep rich tan is on after you put it on and you're like wow.. walk around the house yelling I'm thrilled I don't look li...

Amazing product

By Angela

From Bozeman, MT

This is my favorite tanning product! I have tried so many different ones, and this is the only one that doesn't streak or get splotchy as it fades. I have used this mousse for years now and will continue to buy it as it is so worth it. It gives a gorgeous tan and lasts almost a week for me before I need to reapply. I always do two coats.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Idk I think I'm a little orange...

Submitted 20 days ago

By Anna

From Texas

I've used this one twice now, and I am still trying to figure out how I feel about it, but I'm thinking it's a no for me. It goes on lighter than any other tan I've used before, so my first impression was that it wasn't going to be a very deep tan. Which is kind of true, I feel more orange than bronze. I left it on for about 3 hours the first time and 4 the second. It smells okay, goes on well, but I don't think I'll be repurchasing. I want to try Coco & Eve, but their express option has bad reviews :/

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Hi. I've bought this 3 times now because the bottle LEAKS every time!!! I love the product, but the physical bottle is messed up. Always leaks!!! I'm very upset I have to keep buying it, and will likely switch.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I love this product! Definitely buy a mitt 2 apply! It works so beautifully. Builds a tan within a few hours then you can shower after a few hours! Best self tanner Ive used (and I tried a lot of them!)

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
