As everyone’s skin tone and type is individual to them, we highly recommend carrying out a patch test 24hrs prior to applying any tanning product for the first time. HOW DO YOU CARRY OUT A PATCH/SKIN TEST? Gradually build a natural, sunkissed glow with this easy to apply daily youth boosting moisturiser. Reapply daily to build your desired glow. Suitable for all skin tones. Best for those looking for a subtle glow they can add into their daily routine, maintain their face tan or are new to tanning. Although extremely rare, always seek medical advice if you think you have had an allergic reaction to St.Tropez products. We do recommend that you carry out a patch test at least 24 hours before using St.Tropez products whether at home or in salon. Unfortunately we are unable to provide samples.

Apply a light layer of St.Tropez Tan Enhancing Body Moisturiser to your hands and feet prior to applying your tan to avoid too much product clinging to these extra dry areas. When applying your tanning product, only blend the excess product on to your hands and feet for a more natural finish. When using spray tanning products hold the can 10 inches away and claw the hand so the spray falls in the creases. Use our Gradual Tan Body or Face Lotions in place of your usual moisturiser once a day or every other day as desired to maintain an everyday natural looking tan The St Tropez brand was founded in 2007 by Judy Naake, who wanted to help everyone find the perfect sunkissed glow, even without the sun. We all have cult beauty products that we feel that we can’t live without, and for some, this is their tan. St Tropez aims to instil in every user confidence that can only come from even, golden skin, so the brand has teamed up with body-confident model Ashley Graham to convey this air of positivity through their line. St.Tropez brand is cruelty-free and against animal testing: we do not conduct animal testing on our products or ingredients, nor do we ask anyone to test them on animals on our behalf. The only testing we do is with a panel of volunteers in clinical tests and user trials to assess the safety of our finished products. We actively support the development and global acceptance of new and valid safety and toxicity methods which would remove the need for animal testing completely. A beautiful, bronzed face starts with the right face tanner. Consider your skin type and desired depth of tan:

After 4-8 hours, your gradual tan will be fully developed into a natural, sunkissed glow. To achieve a deeper bronzed look, reapply your gradual tanning lotion daily to build your tan. The best St.Tropez gradual tan For a gradual tan: If you’d rather build your tan slowly, try our gradual St.Tropez face tans. While the Classic Face Cream is infused with Vitamin E to hydrate skin as it gradually tans, the Tinted Face Moisturiser adds an instant touch of color, while developing into a deeper tan over 4 to 8 hours. Maintain your Self or Gradual tan for longer with daily moisturisation using our Tan Enhancing Body Moisturiser and exfoliate twice a week with our Tan Enhancing Body Polish for no-streaks and even fade. Cell turnover on the face occurs much faster than on the body, so you should expect your facial tan to fade much faster too. When the 2 tans no longer match up, simply exfoliate the face and begin the tanning cycle again.

Easy-to-apply. Simply spritz under, over or instead of makeup for a natural post-holiday glow and skincare boost If you’re new to the world of tanning, a gradual tan is a great place to start. Gradual tanningmoisturiser can be applied and reapplied until you achieve your desired depth of tan. To tan your hand we recommend forming a claw like shape and applying the left over tan from your mitt in 3-4 strokes down your hand to your fingers. For best results, use our Self Tan Purity Face Mist on hands and feet for a streak-free and subtle finish. Top Tip: For best results, make sure that you apply your face tanner in a well-lit area. Dot the products onto the areas that the sun naturally hits (think the nose, chin, cheeks and forehead), then blend out with your fingers. The St.Tropez Self Tan Dark range contains our innovative Melanin Technology™ to ensure your tan tailors to your individual skin tone. The tanning agent (Vegetan Premium) targets more of the brown pigments in the skin for a darker, but more natural tan taking you a few shades darker than the Self Tan range, so even pale skins can benefit without the fear of going too dark.Dermatologically approved and non comedogenic envelop your skin with this skincare infused tanning moisturiser.

Whether you prefer a light, medium or deep tan colour, St Tropez products ensure your skin always looks natural. This is why their iconic formula is split between Light/Medium, and Medium/Dark, in a bottle that you can just apply and wash off in the shower, or for everyday use to achieve a more gradual glow.
