St Tropez Tanning System Review

Overall Rating

Do it right and you will have no streaks. A lovely colour, and looks natural - not orange. You can apply as much or as little tan, and as long as you have covered everywhere the tan will come out even.

None.

I purchased some St Tropez about a year ago, as I was studying beauty therapy level 2, and I knew next year (level 3) I would be using the St Tropez tanning system as part of my course. I found it was really good, but I did make a few mistakes with it. For example, I used too much on the hands, and they came out too dark. I also had a few problems with my elbows and knees going too dark, and I missed some patches, and because I am naturally pale, it was quite noticeable. I also came out a little darker than I wanted, as I am very fair skinned and fair haired, but it was still a lovely colour. I have done my St Tropez training at college, and I have learnt how to do the perfect St Tropez, so I am no longer getting dark hands, elbows and knees. The trick is to mix a lot of moisturiser with a small amount of tan for the dry areas like the elbows, hands, feet, and also the insides of the arms. If you look on the St Tropez website and click on the tips and instructions category, it tells you how to do the perfect St Tropez, and it gives you all the help you need on how to get the best tan results. Once you have read them and put them into practice a few times you will find that tanning with St Tropez is so easy! As long as you read the tips and follow the St Tropez instructions, then you will be laughing at all those orange streak freaks out there, and you will be lapping up the attention of your fab tan.

I know St Tropez is a little pricey, but it really is worth it if you are after a proper professional tan. I love it, and I wouldn't use anything else, and believe me, I've tried all self tans, and St Tropez is the best by far!
