- Q
Can the original or this express tan be used on face, feet, and hands
- Asked by LilG
- Official Answer By St. TropezYes, you can. We always recommend a patch test if particularly sensitive. You can apply delicately to the face with the Face Applicator Brush or Applicator Mitt. We also have a variety of amazing products specifically formulated for facial tanning including Purity Bronzing Water Facial Mist and Luxe Tan Tonic Glow Drops.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Will this come off in a swimming pool?
- Asked by Tan Dreams
- Official Answer By St. TropezNo, it does not. 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

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...

Formula changed?
Used this for long time and recently purchased new bottle. When I applied, I noticed color was different (more green) but didn't think anything of it. Then the color developed into orange tan and didn't develop as well as it used too. I read the reviews and someone else mentioned the formula changed too?? Sucks bc it was my favorite. It used to be quick and had a beautiful color that looked so natural. Now I gotta find a different tanner.
There's better options out there
Ive been self tanning for YEARS, used about every self tanner on the market.. I used to use this tanner in the past & it was on sale so I got it again. I was quickly reminded why I stopped using it. The color is slightly yellow/orange. Either spend the extra $2 and get the violet based St Tropez (my favorite thus far, the most BEAUTIFUL color I have ever gotten from self tanner and if you're like me and want to be DARK this is the #1) OR save yourself $20 and buy Bondi Sands Aero at least that one ACTUALLY gives you a deep brown color & doesnt leave you orange at all for almost half the cost unlike St Tropez Express. Just don't waste your money.
Formula changed?
this used to be my favorite tanner but recently got a new bottle and doesnt work the same! the newer one has barely any color to it even tho i left it on for 8+ hours. the old formula was so much better and darker, not the mention the color on this new formula is orange. i purchased previous bottle in 2023 and wish it worked the same. hate this new formula and would not recommend
Amazing product
This is my favorite tanning product! I have tried so many different ones, and this is the only one that doesn't streak or get splotchy as it fades. I have used this mousse for years now and will continue to buy it as it is so worth it. It gives a gorgeous tan and lasts almost a week for me before I need to reapply. I always do two coats.
Idk I think I'm a little orange...
I've used this one twice now, and I am still trying to figure out how I feel about it, but I'm thinking it's a no for me. It goes on lighter than any other tan I've used before, so my first impression was that it wasn't going to be a very deep tan. Which is kind of true, I feel more orange than bronze. I left it on for about 3 hours the first time and 4 the second. It smells okay, goes on well, but I don't think I'll be repurchasing. I want to try Coco & Eve, but their express option has bad reviews :/
