Self Tan Express Advanced Bronzing Mousse

I’d never used a tanning mousse before as I was a little apprehensive, but I shouldn’t have been – this product is brilliant! It’s so easy to apply (I watched the tutorial and used the mitt), and it went on smoothly with no streaks at all. The results were very natural, lighter than I expected at first, but I just added a little more on my next application for a deeper colour. I love that it’s vegan and cruelty-free too. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a natural-looking tan that’s quick and simple to achieve.

Natural and even the tan looks. It’s more olive-toned than orange, which suits a wide range of skin tones. With a mitt, the mousse goes on smoothly and blends easily, minimizing streaks. It dries quickly, usually within 60 seconds, so you’re not sticky for hours afterward. You can apply one layer for a light glow or multiple layers for a deeper tan. Unlike some self-tanners that flake or become patchy, this one tends to fade more gradually with proper maintenance. Make sure you Exfoliating and moisturizing dry areas (like elbows, knees, ankles) is crucial, or the color may cling unevenly.

Does exactly what it says. Good colour but a bit streaky, which I'm surprised by as this is one of the more expensive products. Lasted well though

Amazing colour and doesn’t flake

This mousse is ridiculously easy to apply, blends smoothly, and develops quickly without that weird biscuit smell most tans leave behind. I put it on before bed and woke up looking like I’d been on a week-long holiday. It doesn’t streak, the colour looks natural, and it fades evenly instead of patchy. Definitely my new go-to for when I need a glow in a rush.

Always used this for at least three years very happy with the smell and drying time. Goes on evenly

St. Tropez Self Tanning Mousse In desperate need of upping the glam for my 25th part deux birthday party, I decided to revisit an old classic from my “out-out” days: St. Tropez. I used to swear by the original formula in the white tube, the one that went on like mud, ruined your sheets, but left you waking up looking like you’d spent two weeks in Marbella. So, feeling nostalgic, I went with the St. Tropez mousse. The reviews were glowing, so I thought let’s go. Mistake number 1: Applying it the night before. Mistake number 2: Letting my husband apply it. He’s a DT teacher, can build anything, and has an eye for fine detail. Why wouldn’t I trust him? Mistake number 3: Not letting my 16-year-old daughter (a seasoned self-tanning queen) take charge. Freshly exfoliated, moisturised, optimistic and hoping for a bronzed goddess moment… I woke up, looked in the mirror, and gasped. Not because the tan hadn’t developed oh, it developed, it attacked. And not in a natural, sun-kissed way. More in a “traffic cone” way. I could’ve safely guided a plane to landing with the glow bouncing off me. The patchiness? Unreal. Picasso abstract levels. It’s hard to say which of the three mistakes was to blame, but needless to say, I won’t be ordering this again. Thank goodness my party was at night and half the guests were wearing reading glasses. Pros: • Easy to apply ( apparently) • Extremely long-lasting (to the point where the more developed areas refused to come off — so if longevity is your thing, this may be your winner Cons: • Patchy • Nuclear orange undertones • Will humble you quickly You might have better luck and if you’re feeling brave or want a bit of an adventure, by all means, give it a go. As for me? I’ll be steering clear… and letting the professionals (aka my daughter) take over from now on.

I have tried many of the fake tans available and this is the one I keep coming back to. It has a colour guide for applying so it is hard to miss places. It washes off evenly and leaves a lovely bronze colour without streaks. It will cling to any dry patches so I tend to moisturise once or twice in these areas before applying. I would definitely put moisturiser on your hands, wrists, elbows, ankles, face and toes. I leave it on overnight and wash it off in the morning. It does rub off on clothes and bedding but the stains have always come off in the wash (I wouldn’t wear anything white though!) the tan tends to last on me for about 5/6 days but I do shower/bath daily. The smell isn’t as bad as other fake tans either. The only reason it loses a star is because it gets quite costly when you are purchasing it often. I have had to start using a cheaper product in between now the cost of living has got so high and save this one for every couple of weeks/special occasions. I would definitely recommend and I will be purchasing again. UPDATE I have recently repurchased this. I must have bought this product about 30 times now and this time it is completely different. Firstly I have reacted to it and ended up on steroids after a bad facial reaction. I react to a lot of things, but normally I am ok with this. Not this time. The colour is more orange, it is patchy and streaky. It looks very fake and not the same thing as I’ve been using for the last 7 years! I don’t know whether they’ve changed their formula or Amazon are selling fake products. Beware.

This self tanner never lets me down! At first it goes on slightly sticky and green-ish looking, but after 2-3 hours you can shower and it then develops into the most natural looking deep tan. Not orange whatsoever. I have found you need a mitt to apply the foam evenly and keep it off your hands / nails but well worth it. 10/10

Queda muy natural. Aunque dicen que no huele siempre queda algo de olor. Lo extendí sin el guante con una esponja de tela y quedó muy bien. Ojo porque pueden quedar marcas si no lo extiendes bien

La mejor espuma bronceadora que he probado. Un color precioso, un aroma agradable y nada pegajoso. ¡Vale la pena!

Don't even think twice. this is the best tan I've ever tried. You can see others for 50 aed and so, but it doesn't worth it. invest in st Tropez, It will last way longer with beautiful shade and no weird smell. musthave

Saw it in a TikTok for contouring and I really like it. Was scared at the beginning that it might be patchy or orange but it’s a very natural tan tone. I left it for 30 min only on my cheekbones and forehead, and under the chin (double chin) blending it in with a fluffy brush.
