St.Tropez Gradual Tan Classic Daily Firming Lotion Medium/Dark | Self Tanner

Don’t usually leave reviews unless it’s necessary. Firstly the 1 hour tan express stuff is thee most best tan I’ve ever used and I’ve pretty much tried them all. I’m a frequent tanner and love being able to see the guide colour, have a lovely base and not smell like a wotsit. I found that washing my face and hands daily, like you do, made the tan go rather patchy on my hands and for my face, the tan just comes off too quickly. HOWEVER I stumbled upon this gradual tan and after trying the new st tropez tan (ultra violet) I was skeptical about whether or not their other products would be any good because the ultra violet is by far their worst product yet! Don’t waste your money on it. It goes black on you and comes off after two washes. Doesn’t tan your legs either. Just don’t do it. I wanted something to maintain the tan with the express 1 hour version as I love it so much but needed to keep it going for longer rather than waiting for it too go all patchy and look uneven after a few baths/showers. THIS is an absolute must have! It smellls absolutely delightful, it stays on for a very long time even after washing face a few times, it’s soft, smells expensive, firms and prolongs your base tan. After one use my patchy hands were back to a lovely tan fading lovely into my already used tan that didn’t match the rest of me lol. It’s worth it.

St Tropez is my favourite brand when it comes to self-tanning, and this product definitely doesn't disappoint. If you like a dark, fast tan, then this is for you. If not, then opt for the lighter shade. The best thing about this product is the drying speed, my white bedsheets stay white and there's barely any of that nasty fragrance that leaves you smelling like a day-old biryani! They also do a lovely watermelon one which is lighter but equally as good. Just make sure you wash your hands really well after use.

This is the only fake tan I've found which I actually enjoy the smell of. It reminds me of watermelon flavoured slurpees I loved as a kid when visiting America. The lotion spreads on nice and evenly with no streaks and develops after 4-5 hours. I prefer doing mine over night, so I can then apply a second coat during the day. I noticed that it shows up more orangey on the hands, knees and knuckles, so it's best going lightly over those areas. Thankfully I didn't break out in spots on my back or chest with this product, like some fake tans do with me. Friends commented that I was looking really tanned (after I did 2 layers). 1 isn't enough on my skin. It's a nice natural colour but not very long lasting and needs top ups after every shower or bath. It doesn't leave any scale or patchy residue when wearing off. I wouldn't say the cream has a direct firming effect, although it does improve the appearance of leg veins and cellulite due creating a darker skin tone to disguise those things. I have since purchased more of this product, for myself and my mum.

This is my fav gradual tan.. I have sensitive skin also and this product I have no problems with. It’s a nice natural looking tan :)

Absolutely love St. Tropez Tan! I’ve tried so many self-tanners over the years, and St. Tropez is by far the best. The formula applies smoothly, blends easily, and gives a natural, streak‑free glow that looks like a real tan rather than an orange tint. It dries quickly, doesn’t feel sticky, and the colour develops evenly over time. I also love that it fades gradually without patchiness. My skin feels hydrated and looks radiant every time I use it. Definitely a go‑to product and well worth the investment!

I have extremely pale skin and use a lot of different brands of fake tan. I thought I’d give this one a try. Firstly I found that it rubbed in very easily and dried pretty quickly. I liked the tint as it left my skin looking more sun kissed and showed my any bits I’d missed. I found the fragrance to be quite a strong but not unpleasant smell, but I could definitely smell the recognisable fake tan smell when it started to develop. I left the tan on overnight and I find that it didn’t stain the bed sheets which was good, however, when I had my shower - just using water where I’d put the fake tan, the colour just washed off. I completely understand that this is a tan that needs to develop over a few days of use, but after reapplying this cream over 4 consecutive days, I still looked as pale as I did before I started. This obviously works for others, but for me I found it utterly useless. I wouldn’t buy again.

I have bought x4 of this tan now it smells lovely and turns out non streaky. Its my to go gradual tan

Being a fake tan junkie for the last 10 years I think I’ve tried most products on the market. I have tried many gradual tans and never been impressed with the colour or the coverage. My go to is the wash off St Tropez. This product applies well and even though there is no colour guide, it somehow has been one of the most even tans I’ve ever had. The colour is a lot more natural than the orangey fake tans I have been using for years. The smell is pleasant and not overpowering. It hasn’t stained anything (except my nails - wear gloves!) and it has lasted a week. I have applied it twice to achieve the colour I wanted and it looks a lot more natural than anything else I’ve used. The biggest bonus to me is not having to wash it off the next day. There is a lot in the bottle so it should last a while using only two applications a week. The price is also attractive being a lot cheaper than the alternatives I have been using for years. I think this will now be a staple and will pick it up when it is on offer.

Es una buena crema, pero ojo que si eres clara de piel, tiñe mucho. Puse bastante cantidad en mi primera aplicación y me dio de resultado el moreno que podría tener después de todo el verano, o sea, bastante. Lo único que no me gusta es el olor a coco que tiene y que deja ciertos brillitos dorados, pero me la volvería a comprar.

Tinted one is so cool. Its black what was little shocking at first but its really works well and give instant tan. Will buy more. Perfect solution for instant great tan. Just make sure to use mitt while applying.

Llego rápido y en excelentes condiciones. Me encanta que sea una crema con autobronceado gradual. El olor no es nada feo , ni fuerte, como el de otros autobronceadores. Es gradual, así que tu vas viendo que tanto color quieres tener.. Soy muy blanca, y este me ayuda a tener un poco de color, para no verme tan transparente como gasparin 🤭🤭🤭

It goes on nicely, smells amazing and creates a nice subtle and natural looking tan after just one use. Used it before heading to the beach and I was very happy with it.

El color que deja es hermoso!!!! No te deja las manos manchadas, yo me las lavé las manos luego luego, me fascinó el resultado
