Learning how to tan with our classic tanning mousse couldn’t be easier. To achieve a flawless, streak-free bronze, all you need to do is:

Exfoliate the skin the night before you tan using our Tan Enhancing Body Polish and Exfoliator.
Moisturize dry areas (like the elbows, hands, ankles and knees) 2 to 3 hours before applying tanning mousse using our Tan Enhancing Body Moisturiser.
Using a tanning mitt, apply your St.Tropez mousse to the skin. Start at your ankles and work your way upwards, using large circular strokes to ensure no missed patches. Finish by tanning your hands and feet.
Allow the tan to work its magic for 4 to 8 hours.
Rinse off with warm water.
Admire your natural medium golden glow.
Maintain your tan by moisturizing daily and help it to fade evenly by exfoliating every 3 days.
