Self Tan Express Advanced Bronzing Gel

Good coverage and Colour.

Terrible product, definitely NOT gel, it’s dark and runny, despite giving a nice glow when you initially put it on, once showered the morning after it leaves no trace of colour at all. Sadly this one is a waste of money

As described, genuine product at a great price. Have tried others but much prefer this fake tan.

Really nice to apply and as its tinted you don't miss parts of your body. Because its a gel it glides on beautifully, I use a tanning mitt to apply to my legs then after doing my legs I use what's left on the mitt and wipe over my face and neck.The results on my face were great, a healthy glow whilst 'taking' and once washed off it still gave me a fresh glow which I wanted rather than a tanned look at this time of year. My legs were very different though. The colour was good whilst the gel was on but after I'd washed the tinted gel off in the bath my legs looked Trumpian orange. The orange shade did disappear over 48 hours though and my legs looked like they do after a natural tan has almost faded. I think if my legs were still very tanned the colour wouldn't look as orange and any patches not caught by the sun would be evened out. I'm on the second week after one application and the colour is almost gone, so longevity is good.I was expecting much more from St Tropez, an actual brown colour would have been preferred rather than an orangey brown. For the price its the least I could have expected. I appreciate everybody's colour experience will be based upon their skin tone. I'm naturally blonde and have a warm skin tone that tans extremely easily and I do go quite dark so I expected a colour similar to how I tan.It's good to use in the winter because your legs are mostly covered and having tanned legs keeps that corned beef look away but I doubt I'd use it in the spring before I begin wearing shorts.

This is the best self tan. I have used and i have tried many! Goes on easily and streak free with the use of a mit. Colour is natural and my friends never believe it is fake tan as it looks like my natural colour. It is dark as I have slightly olive skin. Does not come off on sheets either. Wouldn't use any other fake tan.

I've successfully used Fake Bake for years, but bought At Tropez this year on the recommendation of my beautician, although I'm not sure if she uses this exact product. I'd tried a high street branded mousse first but found it a bit messy.The first time I used it, I exfoliated and moisturised elbows and knees etc as usual, and washed it off after 2 hours as I was starting to look a bit orange. It all washed away with no results. I have fairly pale skin but thought 2 out of the 3 recommended hours would be a good first application.The second time, a few days later, I applied it at 6.30pm and left it overnight. This resulted in the glow I'd wanted. I have to say that it did last well.Starting to look a bit patchy after about a week, I scrubbed it all off and did another overnight application. This time with the same results as the first 2 hour application, zero colour after showering.I'm now doing another 3 hour application. It shouldn't be this much of a faff.Things I've learned: gel/lotion is better than mousse, since I can't apply it in the bathroom, and gel is easier to direct onto the glove than mousse; Fake Bake has a better guide colour that this gel; whatever product you use, it will end up smelling of biscuit, but this is one of the best; I actually prefer overnight treatments as it's awkward to fit it around other things during the day, and at the moment I'd rather be outside in my free time; to touch up hand, feet, and face, use a little on a wet brush, I just used a cheap wide, flat paintbrush I'd bought a while ago for face painting but never used.I do like the pump, the mousse I bought dribbled after use, but you can twist the top of this one and it stays really properly closed off.Hope someone finds this helpful.

Very happy

Female account holder here. I’ve bought St Tropez clear bronzing gel numerous times now with no issues, however, as always the price goes up and up so thought I,d try this product of theirs. Sadly this wasn’t for me and my money should have gone to the one I liked but it was always a chance. I do actually like the fact that the gel is dark brown so with the mitt you can get a good even coverage and see it but sadly when you shower off the whole lot basically went 😮 I have tried a further 2 times just in case it was something new I needed to adapt to, but no, the majority washed off in shower with no scrubbing leaving me with the usual white legs. I don’t leave bad reviews as a rule but this one has shocked me as this wasn’t a cheap item. I have since read other reviews and seen others have said the same. Maybe my skin tone not sure but sorry this was not for me and I have gone on to buy their clear tanning gel as previously bought and I like.
