A perfect solution to gloomy weather and when you don’t have time to go to the beach.

For the face, utilize a bronzing water face mist like the Self Tan Purity instead of the self-tanner. This ultra-weight formula will give you a golden complexion and natural look. The best way to apply the self-tanner is to use two pumps in each area and apply the tanner as if you were stroking a cat with smooth movements. The last parts to self-tan in your body are your hands. Clean your nail and palms with a wet wipe after moisturizing and wait 60 seconds before applying the mousse on the other hand. Though there are many different formulas and self-tanning options, the key to a perfect sun-kissed look is the moisturizer. “Moisturise your skin every day,” recommends Sophia. The St. Tropez Tan Enhancing Moisturiser helps the tan to last longer and fade evenly. Make sure to apply it on your elbows, knees, ankles, feet and hands for better results.

You might see some streaks in the morning but use a shower gel with the luxe applicator mitt and shower with lukewarm water. “If you are not dark enough you can re-apply the self-tanner,” mentioned Sophie. The tanning agents are formulated to just reach a level of darkness. Whether you prefer to tan outdoors or avoid the sun, St. Tropez self-tanners also are infused with antioxidant properties and vegan formula to offer your skin a natural and streak-free golden tan.
