Latest Trend - The Tan is Back

1.Prior to application of any self tan product it is important to prepare the skin to ensure an even and smooth application.

2.Use St. Tropez Body Polish to help prepare your skin as the beads will gently buff the skin and remove any tired skin cells to ensure a smooth surface for self tan. Focus on your hands, elbows, knees and feet.

3.Apply St. Tropez Body Moisturiser to the hands, elbows, knees and feet before applying the St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Lotion as this will ensure a natural finish so the colour cannot ‘grab’ onto these delicate areas.

4.For a dark tan the Bronzing Lotion is the best option as this will provide the deepest, darkest colour and also leave the skin extremely hydrated as it is cream based.

5.Use latex gloves to apply the Bronzing Lotion to the entire body. On application, rub the product into the skin until it is emulsified (creamy). For a natural finish on the inner arms, face, hands and feet, mix in a small amount of St. Tropez Body Moisturiser to the Bronzing Lotion to finish these areas off – it will dilute the colour. Leave the self tan on for a minimum of 4 hours to develop.

6.Our Tan Enhancers can also add an illuminating glow to the skin. Apply Radiance Mousse to the apple of the cheeks and temples. Use a small amount in the palm of your hands and gently sweep the mousse down your arms and also onto the shins for a subtle sheen.

7.The St. Tropez Bronzing Powder can be applied with a powder brush to the cheek bone area and under the chin to add depth and definition with a subtle shimmer.

8.The St. Tropez Bronzing Lotion can last on the skin for approximately 7 days as long as you take care to polish and moisturise your skin after achieving your desired colour.

9.Use St. Tropez Shower Cream daily to prolong the life of your tan as it contains natural Mediterranean oils which will protect your tan and keep moisture locked in whilst you’re showering. Some standard shower creams contain essential oils which can make your tan fade faster.

10.To help maintain your tan and the condition of your skin, or if your skin feels extra tight and dehydrated, then choose St. Tropez’s Body Butter instead of the Body Moisturiser to nourish the skin. Well nourished and hydrated skin will make your tan last a lot longer.
