St.Tropez brand is cruelty-free and against animal testing: we do not conduct animal testing on our products or ingredients, nor do we ask anyone to test them on animals on our behalf. The only testing we do is with a panel of volunteers in clinical tests and user trials to assess the safety of our finished products. We actively support the development and global acceptance of new and valid safety and toxicity methods which would remove the need for animal testing completely. St.Tropez can help to minimise the appearance of Vitiligo. We recommend you apply a St.Tropez Self Tan product to the lighter areas with a cotton bud and allow to dry. Leave for at least 8 hours and then wash away the guide colour. If the tan is not dark enough repeat the process. Alternatively St.Tropez Instant Tan can be applied to the area as a temporary cover-up measure. The mist is super fine — it didn't leave my face feeling wet and I didn't feel the need to blend anything with my hands. It has an intensely fruity, tropical scent that I wasn't crazy about, but it did fade with time. I just wish St. Tropez would tone the scent down a notch.

Available in Light/Medium and Medium/Dark. Ideal for nervous or first time users or regular tanners looking for a subtle glow/fits into their daily skin care routine We never add unnecessary ingredients to our products; every ingredient we use has a purpose and all of our products are free from parabens, formaldehydes, phthalates, mineral oils, oxybenzone, coal tar, hydroquinoneoal tar, triclosan/triclocarban and retinylpalmitate (except Tan Enhancing Moisturiser) We took the decision several years ago to stop using solid plastic particles in our new product development across our entire wash off portfolio, and started the process of substituting this ingredient with natural alternatives. We completed the reformulation of those products which did contain plastic micro particles at the end of 2015 and despite it often being a lengthy process to properly validate safe and effective alternatives that do not compromise the performance of the product, we are proud to have successfully achieved this. Although there are no known dangers of using tanning products, they can sometimes cause an allergic reaction, particularly during pregnancy when hormone levels are high and skin becomes more sensitive. As with all treatments, St.Tropez recommends that a patch test is undertaken at least 24 hours before a tanning treatment and that this is of paramount importance for pregnant women. For anyone who is pregnant and suffering with a pre-existing condition or existing health concern, we would advise to consult their doctors prior to starting a tanning regime.To tan your hand we recommend forming a claw like shape and applying the left over tan from your mitt in 3-4 strokes down your hand to your fingers. For best results, use our Self Tan Purity Face Mist on hands and feet for a streak-free and subtle finish.

Top Tip : You can apply this face mist onto clean, dry skin or over the top of makeup. There’s no need to rinse and no transfer. Apply a light layer of St.Tropez Tan Enhancing Body Moisturiser to your hands and feet prior to applying your tan to avoid too much product clinging to these extra dry areas. When applying your tanning product, only blend the excess product on to your hands and feet for a more natural finish. When using spray tanning products hold the can 10 inches away and claw the hand so the spray falls in the creases. Whilst there is nothing in the products that would be harmful to children, we don’t promote self tan products to children. For our professional spray tans we have clear safety guidelines that our St.Tropez approved salons are trained to follow: we would not advise children have a spray tan but if parental permission has been given, then a parent/guardian must be present during the tan. We do have Instant Tan at-home, cosmetic products which are designed to be washed off that you may deem to be more suitable. St.Tropez Self Tan contains a higher concentration of the tanning agent (DHA), which provides a natural looking tan that lasts up to 5 days after just one application. Self Tan Classic, Express and Dark contain a tinted guide colour for ease of application (so you can’t miss any patches) and also benefit from an instant wearable colour while your self tan develops underneath. Self Tan should ideally be left to develop between 4 to 8hrs (excluding Express) before showering off the tinted guide colour to reveal your natural-looking tan. The developed colour will then last between 3 and 10 days depending on which product was used and how the tan is maintained.Use our Gradual Tan Body or Face Lotions in place of your usual moisturiser once a day or every other day as desired to maintain an everyday natural looking tan No. There are no sun filters in St.Tropez products so it’s very important that you still use a sun protection product with sufficient levels of SPF when exposing your skin to the sun. For an ultra-even, streak-free fake tan, always ensure you’re working with a clean canvas. Remove any old tan build up with our Remover Mitt and Tan Remover Mousse. Always exfoliate and remove any unwanted body hair 24 hours before tanning to ensure pores are closed. Make sure your skin is free from any moisturiser, perfume, deodorant and essential oils just before your tan application. According to The Cosmetic Toiletry and Perfumery Association (CTPA), spray tan and self-tanning products are safe to use during pregnancy. When you’re pregnant, skin can become more sensitive due to a change in hormone levels, so make sure you do a patch test at least 24 hours before using your St. Tropez tan, even if you’ve never had a reaction before.
