Advantages: Long lasting streak free tan.

Disadvantages: A bit pricey.

St Tropez is a well known company specialising in sun-less tanning products which is popular amongst celebrities and working class alike.

St Tropez tanning system consists of three products which help create the most even, long lasting tan. These are part of a three step scheme which should be followed for optimum results.

First is St Tropez Body Polisher:

This should be used prior to applying the fake tan. The exfoliant contains round beads so as to not rip or tear the skin. It gently removes any dry patches of skin which would suck up all the tanning lotion and create blotchy parts if left. Remember to pay extra attention to elbows, knees and feet.

Second is St Tropez Body Moisturiser:

The moisturiser is to again avoid any blotchy patches when applied to dry areas it soaks in nicely and contains aloe vera base which replenishes skin. The moisturiser can also be used on tanning beds to accelerate tanning, along with the self tan to create a lighter shade or as a general moisturiser.

Third is Whipped Bronze Mousse:

This is where the tanning comes in, St Tropez instead of a dye or stain contains dihydroxyacetone which reacts with the amino acids on the skins surface causing it to brown. I've found this means a streakless, longer lasting tan. The tan lasts around 4 days before fading totally.

St Tropez is available from their website but its best to buy the pack from ebay as it can be found for anything between £15-£20 as opposed to the hefty £29.99 in shops.

Summary: Full system for the most effective self tanning.
