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.

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 ...

Do NOT buy this
This tanner is terrible. I usually use the "Extra Dark" version but my Ulta store was out so I figured this would be fine to try and boy was I wrong. The first time I applied it, the pump worked fine but it's SO sticky and the stickiness does not go away. After a day or so it starts looking so patchy. Not only that, it transfers into everything and gave me an orange tan. I figured maybe I applied it wrong? So when it came time to tan again, the pump just stopped working. I could barely get the pump to push down and then after a few pushes, the mousse finally came out but it was just watery. I then swapped the pump out with the pump from the bottle I just finished of the "Extra Dark" (which worked fine before) and the issue was as still there. I'm assuming there's a defect with the actual liquid and it's causing the pump to clog? I figured I'd try to still apply it that way but it turned out extremely orange and patchy. Unfortunately I threw my receipt away so I can't return this which is a shame. I recommend the "Exra Dark" version which is 10x better than this.
Anyone else have malfunctioned bottles?
So annoyed. I purchased this product and was testing it out. The coloring is a little orange for my liking, but not too bad. So I decided to buy again but this time my bottle would not produce foam… I exchanged it and picked up a new bottle and the same problem occurred! I've never had this with a foam bottle before. I spent an hour trying to fix this stupid thing. I would just recommend using a different brand as they probably had a quality error in their manufacturing.
The pump just stops working
I really like the product and finish. However I can only get enough pumps to do my legs before the pump stops working. Returned it. Got another one. Same thing happened. Makes me sad.
Best Tanner I've used
Verified Buyer
I have used the St Tropez Classic in the past, and have always been happy with the formula and most importantly the smell. I decided to try to "dark" in hopes of a deeper tan and hoping the smell would not be stronger. This delivers! The mousse is bronze so you can easily see where you are applying. Immediately, it leaves a bonze appearance that lasted while the self-tanner works. After 8 hours and washing off, the color is still great and the smell was definitely the least offensive I've ever used. The color lasted for 5 days before I felt like it had faded. When I used a body-brush to exfoliate, I could tell there was still color I was scrubbing off, so it hadn't completely faded!
I will continue to buy this product
I was using the 1hr express but I find this one less sticky feeling and gave me a more even tan I absolutely am in love 🥰 thank you

- 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
