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 ...

Product goes on green and leaves an orange tint when washed. I've used St. Tropez for years and have never had this experience. Seems to me like their formula may have changed. I emailed St. Tropez and they were no help. DO NOT BUY!
Worst St Tropez product ever
Verified Buyer
It transferred onto everything. Very disappointed. All came off in shower when I rinsed 3 hours later. Super disappointed. Would return if I could.
Don't Bother, Get The Extra Dark Instead
This product was a total waste of time and money for me, personally. I like a dark bronze tan and this product barely showed up whatsoever after waiting the full 8 hours before showering. Not a dark solution at all.
My holy grail
I absolutely love this tanner and end up buying a new bottle each summer. I was worried that I would come out orange (especially since this is dark and I am super pale), however it gives me the most natural looking glow. This tanner does go on green; this is the color guard! It is there so you can see where you're applying it. It can end up a bit streaky and splotchy when applying but it never stays that way after washing it off. I swear it's fool proof! Some tips: use a bit of moisturizer around areas like ankles, knees, elbows and wrists before applying and get a cheap fluffy makeup brush to blend those areas. I usually apply before bed so I can sleep in it and wash it off the next day. When washing after application, avoid using lufas/sponges and body wash. Simply rinse until the water runs clear (you will see the color guard coming off). When you get out of the shower, pat dry and avoid rubbing which will essentially exfoliate the tan away. Follow up with moisturizer since self tanners tend to be drying.
Fave tanner this far
I've tried a few other brands out there, but none of them look as natural and non streaky as this one. It goes on green which is kinda freaky at first but leaves you with such a nice olive tone. It fades so nicely, unlike some other brands that leave you streaky. The only part i struggle with is around the feet and ankles. Man, are they super white. If you wear sandals you gotta make sure to tan your feet too otherwise they're super white and your legs are really tan lol. I get that everyone's different, but this one works the best for me so far and I've purchased it like 3 times already.

- 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
