- Q
Does the product last days or hours ?
- Asked by Gg
- Official Answer By St. TropezAfter your first shower post application, the 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
Does this come off on your clothes
- Asked by Theresa

Great product!
I'm really pale and I've used the original St. Tropez years ago and loved it. I decided to try out this different formula. It was really greasy while I waited the suggested 1-3 hours before rinsing. I was naked for 2 1/2 hours waiting for it to dry a little so I could put a robe on. Didn't happen. I...

Does wash of food
I love how it looks when it goes before you are even near water. Th problem is even if you wait around three hours it does not give that deep rich tan that they talk about. That deep rich tan is on after you put it on and you're like wow.. walk around the house yelling I'm thrilled I don't look li...

My absolute favorite!
I'll scrub and everything before hand and then put some all over my body except for my hands and feet and face. I let it dry a little bit for like five minutes. and then I do a second layer I lotion my hands and feet and I use like a foundation brush in a quiet and leave it on for an hour and wash off my hands and feet and then I sleep through the night with it on my body it's still develops the next day too, so you'll get darker within two days of applying it but it's my absolute favorite. I've tried so many and this is my go to.
My go to tanner
I used the 8 hour from St Tropez for years and when this came out i was nervous at first but have switched to this the last 3 years. Very golden and consistent in hue and coverage. Only thing is it has a light self tanner scent after you rinse off and it lingers for a about a day.
Packaging sucks, tanner explodes everywhere, huge mess
I have been using this tanner for years and its wonderful, but the packaging has gone extremely downhill. My past 3-4 purchases, the tanner has been leaking out of the nozzle. Today, my entire brand new bottle emptied all over my products, ruining everything. I do not recommend anymore due to this faulty packaging. It makes for a messy application and can potentially damage your bathroom and nearby products. Beyond this, Ulta is extremely unhelpful and its impossible to reach the company about the faulty packaging. Overall I'd recommend going with a different tanner and purchasing from a different beauty supply store.
Best self-tanning product out there!
Bought this back in March when it was 1/2 price and just tried it a couple of days ago. I got thee best natural looking tan ever! Highly resembled when I would go to tanning salon, except without the risk of getting cancer! My skin color is light and I left it on for 1.5 hrs to test it out.
Good color and really does develop as promise
Great self tanning product. My go to when I want to tan at home. If you're looking for something that is going to develop darker this is a great product. Best application when using a good tanning mitt for a smooth even tan. Is a bit sticky when first applying and will take about 10-minutes post application before you can dress. Color will wash off after first shower, but it's not taking away your tan it's just the initial color to show where applied.
