Most Helpful Positive Review 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 and it doesn't break me out and it last around a full week before it really starts to fade. My only complaint is that I feel like I have that really strong "fake tan" smell for the first day or two but that happens with most self tanners anyhow. This looks so amazing the first day I went into work with it on I got four other girls to go out and buy it that very same day! Will absolutely buy over and over again!
Most Helpful Critical Review 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 tan" without it gathering, dripping, and pooling by your feet. I read several other reviews of people spraying it directly on their skin and having a bad experience with this. Make sure you exfoliate well and have your skin prepped in advance, I personally like to start prepping my skin 2 weeks in advance but that's is just personal preference. Definitely not necessary. Now, I'm pasty pale, like I "glow" when the moonlight shine so on me at night okay lol and I started last week using the St. Topez gradual tan tinted lotion, I did 3 full body applications total, 1every other day. I honestly expected quite a bit more of a tan, and for it to be buildable. That didn't happen so this morning I tried my first application of this. I left it on for 6 hours, I really thought there would be a noticeable difference but I couldn't really tell, so I rinsed off real quick and dried and applied a second full body application using quite a bit heavier of an application, I've had it on for 3 hours now and I'm going to sleep in it and try another application tomorrow morning. My man came home from work and didn't even say anything, that's how unnoticeable this is. To say I'm disappointed is putting it lightly, for how much this costs I expected to be a bronzed goddess. I gave this three stars, if you are pale and looking for a good light tan to be slightly less blinding in your swimsuit on the beach, or it's the beginning of summer and you don't want to blind people with your legs (pale girl struggles lol) and you don't want a drastic dark tan then this is for you. It has a strong fragrance to it, but not bad. No orange tone either! Just not what I was looking for.
Reviewed by 54 customers The smell... gag 1
Bmw from Columbus, Ohio
This product smelled so bad I almost vomited within 10 minutes after application. I sprayed, tried to continue with my routine and couldn't get passed the smell. I couldn't stand it anymore and had to shower immediately all over again. Had to wash my hair too to get the smell out. It was the worst experience.
Best tanning method 5
Manda from TN
I just spray this directly on to my skin. You have to hold it far away and no exactly where you want to spray it. I do this in my shower with the curtain closed (water not running lol). This is my "top up" that I do over the mousse I've applied
Great streak free color! 5
Abbie from Charlotte, NC
Goes on naturally with a nice bronze color and develops with a natural deep looking tan.

Definitely the best spray tanner I have ever used. 5
Mel from Chattanooga, TN
I usually spray my face and upper chest lightly and then dry with a hair dryer. I do this about 3 times. It works better than 1 heavy coat. It almost looks like airbrush makeup. it does wash out of most clothing. You may want to put something on the floor and behind you to keep the spray off surfaces. Washes off the wall easily with a little soap and water. Looks very natural, not orange.
Very messy 1
KP from KY
I thought this would solve the few problems I had with the mousse version of this....but somehow it made everything worse. Its very messy and got all over the floor. I thought it would make it easier to get my back but I found that I still had to rub in the product after spraying it on, so really there was no difference there. Also the color ended up being much lighter than the mousse version. All in all with as much time as it took to use this, and the mess it made, you are better off getting the mousse one.
Easiest spray tan 5
Stephanie from New Jersey
SO EASY!!!! You need to use the tanning mitt still and the best application! And do it in the shower so you don't make a mess!
I wouldn't waste your money 1
Lisa from Denver, CO
I did not like this product at all it's smeared all over and was super difficult to apply. I do however like the moves that they offer and plan to return this and exchange.
NO 1
Alex from Charleston, SC
No. Nope. This was gonna be my new go to for getting that hard to reach area on my back without having to beg someone to put on my tanning mitt and do it for me but NOOOOO! The spray is like the spray paint tool in Microsoft Paint. Exactly like it. Quite splotchy and has to be rubbed in immediately before it dries. And it dries fast.
MUST buy! 4
Lyss from Carrollton, OH
This has been the best spray tan product I have ever used! Better than getting it done at salons! I say this because it really didn't make me look orange! It didn't sit so well on my feet but it looked great everywhere else! It also lasted about a week before it started to get spotty! I used it for my brothers wedding and vacation and it didn't rub off onto my dress or other clothing! I was very impressed!
LOVE! ❤️ 5
K from TX
Love this! It's easy to use (with a mitt and in the shower) quick to tan and fades quite nicely. My husband even noticed the pleasant smell which was nice, considering I've tried some tanners that smelled pretty awful and never heard the end of it. Would be perfect to use the night before an event or regularly to for a beautiful sun kissed glow!
Beautiful tan, even for the palest skin. 5
Not-So-Pale Anymore from Atlanta, GA
This is the first time I have ever used a self-tanner. I'm as white as white gets, but this game me the most natural tan. I only left it on for an hour and I have a beautiful golden glow, without a hint of orange. HOWEVER IT IS MESSY! I applied in the shower and used a mitt, so that my palms would not stain and so I could rinse the shower after I was done. I made sure to moisturize dry areas like my knees, elbows, and feet, and was left with no strange dark patches except on the bottoms of my feet. Only a couple days have passed since the application and so far I have not noticed any uneven fading.
Love it!! Gives you a golden goddess glow 5
Julia from Charlotte NC
Love it!! Gives you a golden goddess glow. Used it before the beach and worked amazing. It looked like I tanned by the beach for two weeks! Left it on for over three hours and it wasn't ridiculously dark. Perfect shade
First time using. St. Tropez tanning Mist 5
Court from RI
I've tried alot of tanning sprays but this St. Tropez mist is by far my favorite. It gives suvh a beautiful golden tan that lasts for days and is extremely easy to apply & reapply.
In love 5
Tanning Newbie from Florida
Only used one time and already purchased a second while it's on sale. Easy application, beautiful tan(I'm light complexion for reference). Was worried about it being splotchy and orange but once washed off, beautiful and even. Im also a rookie at self tanning so if I can do it, anyone can.
Absolutely love this 5
Carla from Streetsboro, OH
I've used the other St Tropez tan mist several times and decided to try the express. Love it. The best part is not having to wait 4-8hrs to shower.
Best self tanner ever 5
Natalie from Janesville, Wisconsin
Easiest tanner I've ever used. It's a fine mist (just apply in the shower or you'll make a mess). Make sure you babywipe the bottom of your feet or they'll be wayyy too dark.
Con-wastes a lot of product and has the gross self tanner smell (still give it 5 stars though). It's also not as dark as the mouse can be.
I used 2 layers though and it did make it darker.
Lasts about 4 days. Fades pretty well.
Best self tanner I've tried 5
Callie Beauty from Savannah GA
This product is awesome! I've tried MANY self tanners before (mousse, wipes, sprays, etc.) and I've never heard such a long lasting, even tan. I'm on day three and it's still vibrant. No patches or unevenness. A lot cheaper than getting spray tans at the salon. I definitely recommend this one!
Loved The Results - Applying May Be An Issue For Some 3
Micah from Florida
The results I got from St. Tropez's Express Bronzing Mist were every bit as good as what I get with their Express Bronzing Mousse - even, crisp and natural. It performs very well. Application, however, is a deal breaker for me. When applying this, I had to either be outside or standing in the shower, where I would have to rinse the walls off after applying. Some may prefer this method of application, as it may be easier, however, it can also be messier. Personally, I prefer the mousse.
Tropez Spray Tan 1
ShawnM from Michigan
After 1 hour processing, next day my skin was orange.
Best self tanner ever. Totally worth the price. 5
Bren from Michigan
This stuff works amazing. Definitely worth the price. Does have your typical self tan smell that lingers for a day depending on how long you leave it on before washing but worth it.
Outstanding product 5
Patricia from Utica, Indiana
This is one of the easiest self-tanner i have ever used!!! Really covers evenly.....and is a tan color NOt orange! it lasted longer than i expected, too!
Yes, would buy again!
Gave me a great tan but what mess! 2
Dawn Marie from Conway SC
Let me say, the results were great! St. Tropez covered existing tan lines, looked authentic and smelled great. I followed all application guidelines and even watched the videos online. I applied it in my bathroom. After I was done, I had a coating of orange spray on my bathroom white tile floor. I had to mop my floor when I was done. I Applied moisturizer to my knees elbows a feet but never thought of the bottom of my feet. After walking on my bathroom floor, and subsequent mopping, the bottom of my feet were a dark brown. It took 4-5 days to come off. That wasn't the end of it. Even after drying, I had an orange coating inside my clothes for at least 3 days. I had to bleach my delicates and deep clean everything else. My white towels needed bleaching, and even today, a week later my towels are covered in orange after drying with them.
I would use again for a special occasion. I'd wear a bathing suit, flip flops and use it outside with dark colored towels. Otherwise, it is too much maintenance for me.
Amazing! 5
Melissa from Charlotte NC
Love it, so easy, fries almost instantly and doesn't rub off on everything. Natural look, lasts 4-5 days easy!
Brand new product clogged from first use. 1
Hayley from Chicago, IL
I haven't been this dissatisfied with a product in a long time. I'm going to use the mist for the first time, it was clogged and would not spray the solution at all. No idea if the formula is good, but it doesn't matter since the packaging is defective.
