Would you like gorgeous, just-stepped-off-the-beach, bronzed skin? Indulge yourself with a flawless tan
in the most luxurious way...
St Tropez is one of the original tanning companies, and they’ve spent many years at the forefront of
sunless tanning and learnt a thing or two about how to look and feel fabulous. During development, much
research was done in order to offer clients a product that would eliminate the common pitfalls of self
tanning such as orange effect and streaking. Simply put, using the St Tropez tanning system creates the
results you can count on.
For a much deeper, natural looking and longer lasting tan, have you tried the St Tropez Double
Dipping?
Question: What is the difference between spray tan and the cream
application?
Answer: There are a few differences between the spray tan and the cream
application tan when being applied and during development time, however, the results from both are
great. The same lovely colour is achieved and they have the same life span which can be maintained by
following the correct after care advice, provided to you after your treatment.
The spray tan is most popular as it is quick to apply and (apart from the colour difference ) the
product is not noticable on the skin during development time. You will need to exfoliate your body
before you come for the treatment. The cream tan does include the exfoliation and takes longer to
apply. You would also find that the cream looks noticeably ‘muddy’ on the skin during development time.
Some people opt for this one if the tan is being done as a treat as it is a little more pampering.
Question: What do I need to do prepare my skin before applying St Tropez
Tan?
Answer: If you are having a spray tan, you will need to cleanse and exfoliate
the skin thoroughly before coming to the salon. If you are having a cream application we will take care
of the exfoliation process for you.
Question: How dark is it on really fair/pale skin?
Answer: For people with really fair skin the product will give them a natural
healthy glow, for a deeper tan a second application may need to be applied, which is also offered at
the salon. St Tropez tan will obviously look darker on people with olive skin.
Question: What should I wear whilst I'm waiting for the tan to develop?
Answer: It is advised to wear loose baggy clothing, so the tan does not rub
off by abrasive clothing. Please ensure you wear loose clothing and sandals when visiting the
salon.
Question: How long should I wait before showering?
Answer: A minimum of 4 hours but we recommend waiting overnight before
showering to allow the tan to fully develop. This will give superior results.
Question: Does the tan go orange?
Answer: No. The formulation has a tint of green (aloe) in it which prevents
the tan from going orange.
Question: How long will the tan last for?
Answer: Some people report tans lasting up to two weeks. On average a tan will
last 7 - 10 days. For a much longer lasting tan, we recommend 2 applications around 2-3 days apart.
When you visit us we will recommend the correct homecare to ensure you get maximum results from your
tan.
Question: Do you think I should attend the salon first before using the
products at home?
Answer: Many customers use the product confidently at home and achieve success
by following the instructions accurately. You may feel happier attending the salon at first, to get
used to the nature of the product and how it applies for the first time and then top up at home in
future.
Question: Will it wash off?
Answer: Only if you attempted to bathe before the tan was fully developed,
during the four hour period. Once the tan has developed you can shower or bathe as normal.
Question: Can I go swimming?
Answer: Swimming in the sea on holiday is fine. However, swimming in pools is
not advised as chlorine bleaches the tan.
Question: Can I sunbathe with this product?
Answer: The self tan product has no SPF factors in it. Therefore normal
protection products would need to be applied on top to sunbathe.
Question: Does the product smell?
Answer: The product has a pleasant aromatic scent.
