Self Tan Dark - Mousse de Bronzage

Absolutely NOT

My body complete burned and broke out in rashes! So much so some spots of my body blistered! I am not sure what they put in this but it not clean products like it is advertised! This also made me severely sick I was so nauseous and was vomitting for a whole day! I know that is not normal and I am definitely going to look more into this product line! NOT OKAY!!!

 Good product

The white one last longer, but this is a quick tan I like to make this one with the white when they make for the perfect dark lasting tan

Green

This tanner made my whole body green and it was a brand new bottle that I’ve had for not even a week. Super disappointing

does the job

the pros: won't make you look orange, doesn't transfer too easily once it's dry, isn't streaky after it washes off. cons: strong self tan smell. not an issue, but they shouldn't claim it doesn't when it does. be prepared to wake up early and do this on a weekend, because although the end result doesn't look patchy, it goes on patchy. ESPECIALLY on the face. any healing acne scabs turn dark brown. you basically have to stay home for the whole 8 hours. and it's STICKY. and uncomfortable. other reviewers should remember the colour that goes on is only a guide colour so you can see what you're doing. it does not reflect what the tan will look like. it has a green tinge so it doesn't look orange in case you decide to go outside.

The very best

My favorite brand of all time. I’ve been through 15+ bottles of the dark, the original, the express, the Purity (clear one with no guide color) and the face spray over the years. I always keep one of each in my cupboard because they’re great for different events. In a hurry? Express tan. Want the darkest? Dark mousse. Want to tan and walk out the door without the guide color on? Purity mousse. Want to tan when you’re at your palest? Original tan. This review is about the dark- yes it comes out green. Yes that is on purpose, it creates a natural olive color that looks so nice. Trust the process! I’m a freckled Irish/English person and the dark is what I use a month into summer when I finally have a hint of a base tan from all the time I spend at the pool. I use SPF daily and St Tropez allows me to have a tan without the skin damage. All of them are sticky while they dry but I find that within 3-5 minutes I’m good to go. I have literally never had a streaking issue with any of them. I do lotion my knees beforehand so that the tan doesn’t accumulate there. But other than that, I don’t take any precautions besides going slowly and deliberately. One reviewer mentioned bottles breaking. I’m not sure what they’re doing to their bottles but I have never had one break in 6+ years :) The blue St Tropez mitt sucks and won’t last more than three tans before tearing. I’d recommend buying a high quality reusable one.

Not worth the hype or price.

First of all it just does not dry. So sticky forever! So you can forget about putting on clothes or doing anything until you shower. And when you shower about 95% washes off. Also pump stops working about half way through the bottle so can’t even get the product out. And it is so drying on your skin!

Love love love

I have used this one and the classic mousse for years. I by far prefer this one over the classic. For everyone saying bottles are expired and green - no. I had a bottle sitting in my cabinet for years (went through a period of no self tanning) and it was perfectly fine when I finally used it. The green color is supposed to be there so you don’t look orange like other self tanners. It looks so much more natural on my fair skin (makes it more olive toned than golden). I will say the biggest con with this is the stickiness. I try to stand in front of a fan after applying but it still does feel sticky. I leave on 8 hours and just suffer through it because the color is so good. It gets you TAN but so natural. It also fades super well and not splotchy. Love love love.

“Clean ingredients”

Says that they use natural clean ingredients. Unfortunately it contains Phenoxyethanol which is a known skin irritant and is TOXIC around the mouth… probably don’t put it on your skin. Very unfortunate. :(

As always, St.Tropez works

St. Tropez always gives a non-streaky look no matter how terribly you apply it. It's fool proof! However, it isn't as dark as I would like. It also has a pretty potent self-tanner scent. Overall, it's good!

Great product! Mine was not green and it dried fast. Loved the results

Too green!

Too green! I’m sure they are trying to make it more natural looking with olive tones with the green instead of orange but I look like I’m a shade of green and sick! I’m always trying new tanning products but I’m definitely sticking to Loving Tan or VersaSpa

favorite self tanner

i’ve been using this product for about a year now and i swear it has looked incredible every single time i’ve put it on. i have a naturally olive skin tone but i tend to get a bit lighter in the winter, when i tell you this product looks so naturally beautiful! it dries down so nicely and looks so even every single time. i literally cannot say enough good things about this tanner. i will never use another product.
