How To Use

For your ultimate tan, shake well before use. Hold 7-11 inches away from the body and spray evenly ensuring all areas are covered. Blend with the St. Tropez Applicator Mitt for a natural and even streak-free finish. Wait until touch dry before getting dressed. Depending on your desired shade wait 1, 2 or 3 hours before rinsing off the tinted bronzer (guide color). After showering, skin will have a light color but the self tan actives will continue to work for up to 8 hours deepening and developing into your chosen shade.

Precautions: Carry out a patch test 24 hours prior to use. Do not apply to broken, irritated or sensitive skin. Stop using if skin becomes irritated. Wash palms after use. Self Tan may stain. Do not get in eyes, if you do rinse well with water. Avoid contact with lips. Store below 300C/ 860F.Sun Safety Warning: This product does not contain sunscreen and does not protect against sunburn. Repeated exposure to unprotected skin while tanning may increase the risk of skin ageing , skin cancer and other harmful effects to the skin even if you do not burn.

Q
When leaving this on for the maximum amount of time (3 to 4 hours) which shade of moose is it most similar to? The dark or ultra dark? 
Asked by Courtney
Official Answer By St. Tropez
Showering after 3-4 hours when using Express Bronzing Mist, you will receive a similar tone to Dark Bronzing Mousse. If you want a deeper, darker tan, use Extra Dark Bronzing Mousse and shower after 8 hours. Happy tanning!Was this answer helpful to you
Q
How do I unclog the tanning mist spray tip? I have rinsed it and still cannot get it to spray.
Asked by LKD
Official Answer By St. Tropez
Warm water should help clear the spray tip. Try to wrap a warm, dampened paper towel or cloth around it for a few minutes, then rinse through with warm to hot water. Make sure to test spray onto a paper towel or tissue before applying to your body. Happy tanning! Was this answer helpful to you
Q
Can I go in a hot tub after I use this product or will it make it blotchy/come off?
Asked by Lauren
Official Answer By St. Tropez
Wait 12, preferably 24 hours before getting in a hot tub/pool. It will not make your tan come off, but being in the water a lot or excessive sweating will make your tan fade faster than normal. Happy Tanning!Was this answer helpful to you
Q
I am only tanning my forearms. Do I have to exfoliate them? Or give me lotion directions, please.
Asked by Nancy
Official Answer By St. Tropez
We always recommend exfoliating 24 hours prior and hydrating dry areas immediately prior to application. See instruction detail below: 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 RINSE: After 1, 2 or 3 hours depending on your desired shade 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

Q
Should the mist have a greenish tint when you spray it onto the mitt?
Asked by RLM
Official Answer By St. Tropez
The key tanning agent used in St.Tropez’s Express Tan range 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 more natural longer lasting superior tan. The combination of 100% natural tanning agent plus color pigments can sometimes result in a slightly greenish tone(upon initial application) but once the self tan has developed and the built in bronzer (guide color) has been showered off it will reveal your most natural bronze that has adapted to suit your individual skin tone with zero green or orange tones. Please note the St.Tropez guide color (built in bronzer) will be a different tone depending on the individual’s skin tone. On fair skin the guide color can appear greener due to the neutralization of any artificial orange tones but once fully developed and showered off you will reveal your most ultimate natural bronze. Self tans can also change color due to extreme changes in temperature when being stored, exposure to oxygen and expiration date but none of these factors will result into a green tan tone once the initial bronzer has been showered off.

The best self tanner EVER!

This is honestly the best and longest lasting self tanning product I've ever used! I'm quite fair skinned and was nervous leaving it on for the full 3 hours to develop the dark tan would be too much but it develops into an absolutely gorgeous, deep, and natural looking tan. I even use it on my face ...

Disappointed

Spray onto mitt and blend into skin. Do NOT try to spray this directly onto your skin or you're going to have a bad time. It sprays out hard and fast, very much like spray paint. Your own arms length is probably not long enough to have a good enough distance to evenly spray yourself like a "spray ta...

Best product ever. I use it nonstop. I've tried TONS of self tanners from multiple brands and in multiple formulations and this is my favourite. It develops more quickly than standard self tanners, the colour is perfect and the spray application makes it super easy to use. The only downside is the price in my opinion.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

This by far is the best one I have ever used. Long lasting color. Deeper color than the mousse. I use it in the shower stall since the mist can leave a light coating on everything, then take the detachable shower head and wash the walls all down later.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
