Do you want that sun kissed glow but don’t want to smell like self tanner? If so, you have to try this self tanner that not only works in one hour it does not have that self tan smell no one likes!
Fake Tan Anyone?!
Anyone else a fan of a self tanner?! There is nothing wrong with loving a fake tan. Every summer I pull out my self-tanners so I do not blind anyone with my bright white legs in shorts! Ha! There is just is not time to work on my tan! I have tried a lot of self tanners, professional spray tans too. While I love these it never fails I can smell my tan. Not just while it’s settling in but days after. Ugh! I am so sensitive to smells and it is one I just do not like! Over the past few years I have been using St. Tropez self tanners because the smell is the faintest. They use a 100% natural tanning agent and it lasts the longest plus the color is the most realistic, you will not turn orange. This year I was running low on my self tanner so I decided to try the St. Tropez Self Tan Express Advanced Bronzing Mousse. WOW!
Can this really be happening?!
I will admit I was skeptical that I would have color in little as an hour. I was going for the full eight (I apply before bed) but I could already tell after an hour I could have showered and had some color. While applying the product I was waiting to be hit with the self tan smell. I was pleasantly surprised that I could not smell it AT ALL. What?! I figured well it won’t be long and it will settle in and hit me later. It DOES NOT SMELL like self tanner. It’s crazy and wonderful! After eight hours you have the nicest even tan. It lasts longer than previous St. Tropez products I have used too! It washes off evenly so you don’t have any splotches.
New to Self Tanners?!
If you are new to the world of self tanning it is so easy! See my routine below for a perfect fake tan!
- Exfoliate before applying! I always exfoliate just before application. You can use your dry brush before the shower or use these awesome exfoliation gloves and scrub a dub! Really focus on your ankles, knees and elbows! Not only will your skin be silky smooth you will soon be glowing too.
- After shower use a moisturizer and apply on your feet, ankles, knees (I do front and back) and your elbows. I find a body butter works best but use what you have.
- The best invention to apply the self tanner is the MITT! This applicator mitt will give you even coverage. You just hand wash between uses. You are ready…just pump as much as you want to apply in a circular motion. I find it is easier to work your way up. I start with my lower legs and move up. You can save your feet and knees for last (after you have finished your legs). Make sure you really get your feet evenly…sides, top and around your ankles. Keep working your way up. You can apply to your face if you choose but I always stop with my neck.
- Make sure you are completely dry before putting on dark loose clothing.
- After the amount of chosen time you wish to use the tanner just hop back in the shower.
Wanna make that tan last!?
To keep your tan around as long as possible you want to moisturize after every shower! Do not exfoliate or shave because it will take it off. Now I know you need to shave, it’s summer after all but just know you might want to reapply on your legs more often. My tan typically lasts 5-7 days. If you want to build on your tan reapply after 1-2 days!
That’s it! If you want a smelly free self tanner (and who doesn’t?!) you have to try St. Tropez Self Tan Express Advanced Bronzing Mousse. Let me know in the comments below if you decide to try it!
