User questions & answers

Question:	How long does it take to develop
Answer:	I am very fair and it took at least 2 applications before it became noticeable. My friend, who disclosed that this wAs the product that kept her so “healthy “ looking, suggested that I use it for three days in a row to begin, then every other day after that. Sometimes I blow it and let several days go by without using and then it almost like I have to start again.
Question:	Do the terms on the product "fair to medium" and "medium to tan" refer to your natural skin tones, or to the level of tan you will have after use
Answer:	It's the level of tan you will get after use. Good luck!
Question:	Would it be ok for the face
Answer:	I have never used it on my face. I use the jergens natural glow for faces. It would probably work on the face, but Iolive the one made just for faces.
Question:	Will it stain sheets at night if I put it on in the morning
Answer:	No. I actually put it on at night and let it work. So in the morning I shower and it washes the smell off. Just don't rub soap on your legs. I put it on, wait a couple minutes to let it dry and then go to bed. works great. Happy tanning!

Answer:	I'm not sure about the oily, I have dry skin but I'm acne prone and have had no issues.
Question:	Does it stain body hair
Answer:	I usually just throw it out after i’ve Applied whatever cream was on the lid when first opened. I Find that there isn’t much cream getting on the lid (and I usually am throwing the container inti a large cosmetic storage bag each night). At the end when the cream is nearly gone there is very little on the lid I find. I use up every drop because the product is sooooo good.
Question:	Will this wash off or fade in a hot tub? I'm afraid it might leave a ring around the tub

Brand Story

Whether you prefer an all-over bronze glow or a lighter, natural tone, St. Tropez provides a powerful, healthy self-tanner for all types of sunkissed needs.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this dry quickly
Answer:	It firms your skin by giving it the appearance of firm skin because it "tans " the skin. I really like it. Gives the legs some color. Best product of its kind on the market.
Question:	Is it sealed inside the cap
Answer:	I also use a loofah daily and use the cream every 2nd or 3rd day after cleansing and before bed. Maybe applying to freshly exfoliated skin is why it's so easy to maintain. It's also very moisturizing. Love this product!
Question:	Can I safely go in the sauna the day after application without losing my tan
Answer:	Smells great actually...I use self tanners all the time, but HATE the smell they leave... this smells like normal lotion and gets the job done...
Question:	what is the difference between this and the self tan bronzing mousse
Answer:	I have used both also and did find a difference. I'm 54 now and had been using the "firming" formula for several years. I bought the regular one day and within a couple of weeks started to notice how old and creepy my legs started to look. "When did that happen?" OK I panicked a little. I went back to using the firming moisturizer and the creepy skin tighten up. I can wear shorts and bathing suits again which is good because I live on a boat. I don't know how effective it will become later or if I hadn't been using it consistently, but because I've used it since I was 48 I've been able to keep my smooth 30/40 something legs well into my 50s at least. I also have a super light complexion which never tans. I wouldn't be without this stuff.

PREP

• Shower to remove all topical products and bacteria from the skin.
• Exfoliate 12-24 hours before application to remove dry, dead skin cells to even out the texture of the skin and prevent the sunless tanner from clinging to dryer areas.
• Wax and/or shave to remove all unwanted hairs for a smooth, flawless finish.

DURING

• Make sure skin is clean and dry.
• Do not apply any lotions, perfumes or makeup.
• Squeeze a quarter size of lotion onto mitt, clench and apply to the skin.
• Start at the bottom and work your way up using long circular motions.
• Use leftover on tan mitt to tan your feet, hands and face.

AFTER 2 APPLICATIONS

• Wait 4-6 hours for your self tan to develop.
• Rise with warm water until water runs clear.
• Avoid washing your hair and using soaps as this can cause the tan to streak.
• Pat dry after shower.

User questions & answers

Question:	Have never used self tanner. How do you apply to the under part of your arms
Answer:	I'm very fair, so first I rub a small dab of regular lotion on my elbows to prevent too much darkening. Then I rub tanner on the outer surface of my upper & lower arm, including the back of the shoulder cap where the sun always burns me first. If you work quickly, you can rub the residue around to the underneath of the arms, which normally tan less than the tops. At least that works for me.
Question:	I have bruises and dark marks all over my legs. Will this product help cover them up
Answer:	I think it might make the dark marks even darker because you are applying it to your entire leg. I thought this product would be easier and would produce a more even tan than other products because you apply it when wet. I did not find that to be the case. I have yet to find a "foolproof" self tanner.
Question:	Can this be applied with a tanning glove/mitt
Answer:	I’ve not used a glove before but yes the same concept applies
Question:	Can you use this product on your face as well and should I get the lotion as well
Answer:	I use it on my face daily with no issues. It also does NOT stain white towels as suggested by another comment
