One ST. Tropez self-tan is sold every fifteen seconds across the globe, clearly hitting a sweet spot with women from all walks of life, including celebrities and models. Why? It delivers on more than one level. Here’s the latest innovation an everyday skin-firming, tanning body lotion.
What’s in it?
First, this self-tanning body lotion uses a 100 per cent natural tanning agent. Instead of that unpleasant self-tan aroma, the natural watermelon juice makes it more like a scented body lotion than a self-tanner. Add the coconut oil and the moisture-retaining hyaluronic acid into the mix, and your skin feels smooth and firm for hours while sporting a golden glow. But its real benefit is that it’s quick-drying and not sticky, so you can get dressed after applying it. It’s vegan-friendly and cruelty-free. Also, the tube is made with 100 per cent recycled plastic. Dermatologically approved, it is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin.
Why do we like it?
This body lotion, and self-tan hybrid, comes in a handy tube, like any regular body lotion. But, within several hours, it develops into a gorgeous bronze tan that can be intensified with daily applications. The results are noticeable enough to show up on my medium-tone skin while remaining natural, like that post-holiday glow. Also, because your skin is so well-hydrated, it allows your tan to fade gradually and naturally—making it less work for you to remove buff off if you wish. This body lotion does all that, and don’t forget the delicious tropical scent.
How to use it: Apply daily, like your regular body moisturiser from feet to neck, with a mitt or hands, and then wash your hands afterwards.
