St.Tropez Self Tan Instant Glow, Medium/Dark Shade, Smudge-Proof Body Makeup, Vegan, Natural & Cruelty Free, 100 ml

Cannot use any type of self tanner as the smell makes me sick. Love this! Nice scent and great for just giving my legs a nice golden tan color ! It lasts until you wash it off

So I'm a middle aged man who no longer takes the sun as I've already screwed up my skin with my youthful stupidity of laying out baking at the beach. This pale Italian's skin is showing its age with sun spots and what have you. I've tried more self tanners than I can count, and they always come up short in one way or another. The worst part about self tanners is waiting for it develop, only to find patches, or worse, an orange or yellow look. You can never tell until you go outside and shock yourself in horror. Even worse, if it's a cloudy day, any mistakes are even further pronounced. It's more than likely the fact that older skin simply doesn't absorb these sunless tanners like the 20-something yo model-likes that usually review them.I decided to try two products, this St. Tropez and another brand that's even more expensive. The expensive brand ($39.95) went on smoothly and I was pretty satisfied, however, the shimmer effect is not exactly fitting for a male. Also, it did come off on clothes even after buffing out the excess as instructed. Even the next day it was still coming off of paper towel rubs. Now, as for the St. Tropez, it's pretty amazing. It's definitely has more of a bronze look (the other was more golden), and it dries ridiculously fast. In fact, you better rub that stuff around like a mutha using a mitt or wide kabuki brush. I've seen tik-tok influencers rubbing a massive amount with their hands and wind up looking like they fell asleep in a vat of pudding. Read the freaking instructions! Anyway, the smell is wonderful, but I'm glad it dissipates instantly. It hasn't rubbed off of my clothes, and thank the sun gods, no ugly-a$$ orange! A nice soapy shower will wash it all off. Will be reordering.

i love this stuff! it smells great and it doesn’t transfer!!The secret is to USE A NITRILE GLOVE when applying this!!! if not you will be left with muddy hands and washing it off will wash off what you applied to the back of your hands. don’t use a mitt, it absorbs the product and just makes a mess. i love the healthy glow it gives! love applying it to my clients décolletage when doing wedding makeup. it doesn’t transfer which i love - even if i shower or swim it stays on unless i scrub with soap. love!!as other review state, it can ball up if rubbed in too much. make sure to be careful applying around dry areas like elbows or it gets super dark and saturated there. you can build it up! just be careful to not use too much at a time or it’s messsssy

Beautiful golden colour. Smells awesome and not like that typical self-tanner scent . Unlike self-tanners that fade blotchy after a few days, this stuff can be washed off so you are left with clean skin . It’s like makeup for your body .

This is the second tube I have bought. The colour is good, does not look artificial, I usually blend the cream with moisturiser….make sure you wash your hands after use, would definitely recommend.
