Step 1: Exfoliate 24 hours prior to use. Immediately prior to application, moisturize any dry areas including elbows, knees, ankles and feet.
Step 2: For best results, apply using the Tan Applicator Mitt in long sweeping motions, starting at the ankles and working your way up. Then for your back, turn the mitt back to front and start applying in the same way. Ensure all areas are covered before lightly gliding any excess tan from the Mitt over your hands and feet.
Step 3: Wait until touch dry before getting dressed.
Step 4: Allow 4-8 hours before showering to reveal your developed tan.
Step 5: To prolong and maintain your tan, moisturize daily, exfoliate regularly and reapply as desired.

- Q
It's green???
- Asked by Reenie
- Official Answer By St. TropezThe key tanning agent used in this product is known as VEGETAN PREMIUM. Vegetan is a 100% natural DHA (tanning agent) which is vegan friendly and derived from vegetable and plant sources. We combine our tanning agent with additional brown/black plant pigments plus additional skin conditioning ingredients for a deeper, longer lasting tan. The combination of 100% natural tanning agent plus color pigments can sometimes result in a slightly greenish tone (upon first initial application), but once the self tan has developed and the built-in bronzer (guide color) has been showered off, it will reveal a natural, healthy-looking tan.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
How many days or weeks does the tan last before you have to redo it
- Asked by Kat
- Official Answer By St. TropezThe duration of the tan can vary from person to person due to factors like skin type, activity level, exfoliation, etc, but this product usually lasts 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
I've been using the St. Tropez express - it's not getting me ask dark as I would like. Will this make me darker? Is it darker than the express?
- Asked by ShannonA
- Official Answer By St. TropezDark Mousse would be the equivalent of leaving Express Mousse on for 3-4 hours before showering. For our deepest, darkest bronze, use Extra Dark Bronzing Mousse and wait at least 8 hours before showering. Happy Tanning!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Will I still get a decent tan using the bronzing mousse dark if I only leave it on for 3 hours?
- Asked by Makayla
- Official Answer By St. TropezWith the Dark Bronzing Mousse, it is best to wear for 8 hours before showering. If you want to shower quickly, you can use the Express Bronzing Mousse: shower after 1 hour for a light tan, 2 hours for medium and 3 for dark. Your tan will still develop over the 8 hours.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
I am a black woman (medium complexion). My legs are dramatically lighter than the rest of my body. Will this tan my legs? What do you recommend?
- Asked by Mama2
- Official Answer By St. TropezYes, this will tan your legs. All of our products are suitable for every skin tone, but the Dark Bronzing Mousse will give you a dark tan. We recommend applying once, wait 8 hours before showering. If you want a deeper tone, you can apply again, or simply reapply as needed every 5-7 days. Just a reminder on the simple steps for a flawless application: PREP: Exfoliate/hair removal 24 hours prior, then moisturize dry areas like elbows, hands, wrists, knees, feet & ankles immediately before application. APPLY: Pump onto Mitt and apply in long sweeping motions, overlapping layers & buffing into the skin to ensure no missed patches, then lightly apply the excess tan left on your mitt to your hands and feet. RINSE: After 8 hours GLOW: Your desired depth of tan develop over 4-8 hours. Top up as desired to maintain your glow Was this answer helpful to you

Not a dark tanning product
I'll preface this by saying I have an unlimited spray tan subscription that I do use frequently. I bought this product because I wanted to see if it gave a darker payoff... something I could use between sessions. It did give an even tan, but it is not dark. It looked dark immediately after applying ...

Easy and quick application, beautiful color
Verified Buyer
I don't like to spend a lot of time with self tanner and this goes on super quick and still gives even coverage of color.
Washes Off
This creates such a beautiful dark tan but then you get in the shower and it conpletely washes off….waste of money
GAVE ME HIVES
This was my first time ever tanning and i followed the steps exact. After rubsibg my body become covered in hives and never went away! i 100% DO NOT recommend.
Changed their formula
I have been using this product for about 4 years. It used to have a slight greenish tint, which ensured the tan looked brown and not orange. This past year, I've noticed it no longer has the green tint, resulting in a much more orange look. This has been on multiple bottles so I know it's not a defective product. It's really disappointing, and I'm not the only one who's noticed (a quick scroll through Reddit and you'll see others with the same experience). However, it still looks decent, is easy to apply, and lasts long, which is why I've given it 3 stars.
Same Exact Color as Express Mousse
I bought this product because even with sleeping in the Express Mousse, my color wasn't as dark as I'd like. Since this product is marketed as 'dark,' I figured this would give me the darker color. After applying last night, I woke up this morning with the same exact color as I had with the Express Mousse. It's frustrating to me that I'm fairly certain that the mousse in both bottles is the exact same.
