- Q
How long can I sit or lay in bed after applying. Will it stain my sheets or couch
- Asked by Nose
- Official Answer By St. TropezThe product dries in less than a minute, so you can get dressed immediately. We do recommend wearing darker, loose-fitting clothing in the 8 hours before you shower. If there is minimal transfer to sheets, it will wash out. Once you shower post application, the product will not transfer.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can this be used on face, feet & hands and it is more olive tone than orange?
- Asked by LilG
- Official Answer By St. TropezYes, you can. We always recommend a patch test if particularly sensitive. You can apply delicately to the face with the Face Applicator Brush or Applicator Mitt. We also have a variety of amazing products specifically formulated for facial tanning including Purity Bronzing Water Facial Mist and Luxe Tan Tonic Glow Drops. All of our products are formulated to give you a natural looking tan, not at all orange. The Classic Mousse will give you a medium golden tan.Was this answer helpful to you

Can you shave your legs directly after rinsing after the full 8 hours?
- Asked by Meg

- Q
Can i rinse in 6 hours?
- Asked by Lan
- Official Answer By St. TropezWe recommend waiting at least the full 8 hours, but you still will have a glow if you rinse after 6 hours. If you want to rinse faster, you can use Express Bronzing Mousse and rinse after 1 hour for a light glow, 2 hours for medium tan and 3-4 hours for a dark tan. Just note, your tan will still continue to develop for 8 hours, you can just shower sooner. Happy Tanning!Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
I have used this product a lot and this most recent time I let it sit for 5 / 6 hours and I feel like it all came off…is that possible???
- Asked by Amelia
- Official Answer By St. TropezWe recommend wearing Classic Bronzing Mousse for a minimum of 8 hours before showering. As always, the bronze tinted guide color you see when applying rinses of when you first shower, but not your tan. Wear for 8 - 12 hours before showering for optimal results.

- Q
So I just used st tropez self tan classic, but I think I only left it for like a hour to hour and a half. Will my tan develop still or will I need to reapply in the AM? Only trying to to even out what I have which is a light to medium tan.
- Asked by Misty
- Official Answer By St. TropezYou need to wear Classic Mousse 8 hours before showering for a medium, golden tan, so you will likely need to reapply and wear for 4-8 hours. Happy Tanning!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Does St Tropez classic bronzing mousse have an expiration date? I bought an 8 oz. bottle last summer and used it, but I still have half a bottle left...can I use it this year or do the ingredients falter with time? Thank you, Kathi
- Asked by Kathi
- Official Answer By St. TropezKathi, the mousse is good for 12 months after opening. Yours should be fine to use. Happy Tanning!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
So when I get out of the shower, I can see some washing off. Wasn't too worried about it because I left it on for 8 hours. However, the next day I noticed that I was dark on the tops of my arms and on my chest and that was it. No tan on the rest of my body. I made sure to exfoliate and shave 24 hours before hand. What am I doing wrong or what do I need to do?
- Asked by Lindy J
- Official Answer By St. TropezWhen you apply the product, there is a cosmetic bronze guide color that allows you to see where you are applying the product. In the 8 hours, your tan develops underneath that bronzer. In your first shower post application the bronzer washes off to reveal your tan. Exfoliating and hair removal 24 hours prior is perfect. Just make sure you are applying to clean, dry skin. The only areas that should be moisturized prior to application are those tricky areas like hands, elbows, knees, wrists and ankles. And would suggest wearing looser clothing while your tan develops. Happy Tanning!Was this answer helpful to you

Really a great product!
I've tried numerous store brand tanning products (Neutrogena, Loreal, Jergens) as well as other brands like St. Moriz (awful...trust me) and St. Tropez is by far the best. I give it 4 stars because nothing is perfect, however, if you are someone who uses faux tanners a lot, you shouldn't have too m...

Becomes scaly and flaky after a few uses
I bought this product about a month ago. As soon as I applied it, I loved the color. It does fade pretty quickly so you need to apply it at least twice a week if you want to maintain a good tan. However, I've noticed that the more I use it, my skin becomes scaly and flakey. Yes, I moisturize daily a...

BUY IF YOU WANT TO BE ORANGE
I bought this looking for a cute nice tan but boy was i wrong! 1. Streaky 2. Messy 3. Hard to use 4. Impossible to blend 5. I WAS ORANGE
Previous holy grail, now a carrot colored disappointment
I used to SWEAR by this tanner, it was an olive/green undertone so it went on with a much more "natural" appearing color. My most recent bottle purchased in the last few months is straight up ORANGE it is awful and looks terrible. I have light neutral skin tone, the orange is visible and very obvious. Such a disappointment. I used to overlook and just deal with the tackiness after application that seemed to never dry down, and the odd scent, but its not really worth it to me anymore.
SMELLS GOOD, BUT DOESN'T WORK
I'm fair complextioned and I expect a difference. I've always used Coco & Eve, but wanted to try something new. This smells good, it goes on easy and doesn't stay tacky. However, don't use it if you expect a lot of color. Very disappointing.
Easy to use, no streaks, no smell
This is hands down the best sunless tanner I've ever used.
FORMULA HAS CHANGED
I used this self tanner for years and loved it! It had an olive undertone. But, unfortunately, the formula has changed and it is now very orange. I do not recommend!
