Self Tan Dark Bronzing Mousse

The white one last longer, but this is a quick tan I like to make this one with the white when they make for the perfect dark lasting tan

the pros: won't make you look orange, doesn't transfer too easily once it's dry, isn't streaky after it washes off. cons: strong self tan smell. not an issue, but they shouldn't claim it doesn't when it does. be prepared to wake up early and do this on a weekend, because although the end result doesn't look patchy, it goes on patchy. ESPECIALLY on the face. any healing acne scabs turn dark brown. you basically have to stay home for the whole 8 hours. and it's STICKY. and uncomfortable. other reviewers should remember the colour that goes on is only a guide colour so you can see what you're doing. it does not reflect what the tan will look like. it has a green tinge so it doesn't look orange in case you decide to go outside.

Used st tropez express tan for years, but wanted something darker. Gave this 3 diff chances, each time trying diff techniques as I figured maybe I just needed to tweak something. I let this dry for 3 HOURS, standing up, not touching anything, and then I used a hair dryer to make sure it was as dry as it could get. Then I went to sleep. Wash this off about 14 hours later and it looks just bad. It’s literally no darker than the express, but splotchy. I know it’s an overreaction but I’m literally mad about this. I’ve tried Walmart brands that are better than this.

My favorite brand of all time. I’ve been through 15+ bottles of the dark, the original, the express, the Purity (clear one with no guide color) and the face spray over the years. I always keep one of each in my cupboard because they’re great for different events. In a hurry? Express tan. Want the darkest? Dark mousse. Want to tan and walk out the door without the guide color on? Purity mousse. Want to tan when you’re at your palest? Original tan. This review is about the dark- yes it comes out green. Yes that is on purpose, it creates a natural olive color that looks so nice. Trust the process! I’m a freckled Irish/English person and the dark is what I use a month into summer when I finally have a hint of a base tan from all the time I spend at the pool. I use SPF daily and St Tropez allows me to have a tan without the skin damage. All of them are sticky while they dry but I find that within 3-5 minutes I’m good to go. I have literally never had a streaking issue with any of them. I do lotion my knees beforehand so that the tan doesn’t accumulate there. But other than that, I don’t take any precautions besides going slowly and deliberately. One reviewer mentioned bottles breaking. I’m not sure what they’re doing to their bottles but I have never had one break in 6+ years :) The blue St Tropez mitt sucks and won’t last more than three tans before tearing. I’d recommend buying a high quality reusable one.

I have used this one and the classic mousse for years. I by far prefer this one over the classic. For everyone saying bottles are expired and green - no. I had a bottle sitting in my cabinet for years (went through a period of no self tanning) and it was perfectly fine when I finally used it. The green color is supposed to be there so you don’t look orange like other self tanners. It looks so much more natural on my fair skin (makes it more olive toned than golden). I will say the biggest con with this is the stickiness. I try to stand in front of a fan after applying but it still does feel sticky. I leave on 8 hours and just suffer through it because the color is so good. It gets you TAN but so natural. It also fades super well and not splotchy. Love love love.

Great product! Mine was not green and it dried fast. Loved the results

Do not buy this product, it is extremely sticky also too way to long to dry. I was expecting to be really really dark by the look of it when I put it on, all of it washed off in the shower ( I have never seen this happen before) the color isn’t dark at all. I also used 2 coats and came out a lighter color than using 2 coats of the classic color. Returning asap.

I LOVE this product❤️ I usually buy it at the pharmacy. The color is amazing and it last long. VERY IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS : 1. It takes time to dry but you can use baby powder and wear loose clothes so you dont stain your sheets & blast the AC. 2. The product, as indicated on the bottle last 12 months. I see some people say that the product is GREEN. That means it is EXPIRED. & so when you buy it literally try it out in the store and make sure its a brown color and exchange it if its not for a new one. Im guessing sometimes the employees don't know how long the product have been sitting on the shelves! Hope this helps!!

The color this gives you is beautiful. BUT I still get water streaks after 12 hours of applying this tanner. This tanner does not hold up as well as it says! Half the bottle, in the trash!

I bought this to darken my legs for a wedding. I had a fair amount of colour on my arms and face from gardening, but Lily white legs. The product goes on green and my legs were green for the entire development time (8hrs). But once I rinsed it off my legs were a very even golden brown. The tan lasted for about a week to 10 days before it gradually faded. I loved the ease of use and the end result. If you need an all over tan, just beware that you will be green for approximately 8hrs. Maybe overnight would be best.
