ST. MORIZ St Original 1 Hour Fast Tan Mousse | Fast Drying Vegan Express Fake Tan | 1 Hour for Light Glow, 2 Hours for Medium Glow, 3 Hours for Dark Glow | 200ml

When I read reviews, I'm typically looking for an honest critique, so even though I think this product is phenomenal, I'm going to start with the cons. All comparisons are to Loving Tan 2-hours express in dark and Fake Bake Flawless Darker.The Bad:- Blending. The tanner dries very quickly and is hard to blend. I usually work in sections like lower leg or upper leg. With this product, I had to adopt much smaller sections and still had some difficulty blending.- Guide color. The guide color is beautiful and so dark, but in my opinion, it doesn't go on smooth enough to feel comfortable wearing it in public. Plus, the guide color comes off really easily, so if you were to sweat at all of have a drop of water roll down your arm, you'd be a streaky mess.- Timing. I haven't applied the color for anything less than 3 hours, but I'm fairly confident in saying that a one hour application wouldn't be all that effective.- Access. This amazon account is the only place I have seen the product, and since it comes from the UK, the ship time is a bit longer than I am used to.The Good:- Continuous development. I've only used the product once thus far, and I left it on for 3 hours. I wanted to leave it on longer, but I had plans and needed to get ready. When I showered, I just rinsed the guide color off but I did not actually wash or use soap. At first, I was super disappointed. There was only a slight change in color, and I was frustrated knowing I would have to reapply that night (and maybe even a different product). Nevertheless, as I went out to meet my friends, I kept getting darker and darker. By the next morning, the color had continued to develop into a gorgeous tan.- The color. Honestly, the color is the best tanner color I have ever used. I naturally have alabaster skin. I don't think the color on loving tan is bad per se, but it certainly isn't what I would call natural on my skin tone. Similarly, fake bake is just a bit too red-based for my skin. The St. Moriz color is phenomenal and completely natural looking.- The smell is almost completely neutral. With Loving Tan, I notice the DHA smell, and with Fake Bake, I don't love the tropical scent they add, but I barely noticed the scent on this product as I wore it.- Fading. I am currently 4 days into wear. Usually, with loving tan, I start to get a little splotchy by this point. Thus far, I definitely have higher fading in the areas between my thighs or boobs where I sweat a bit more, but I have never found a tanner where that wasn't the case. Otherwise, the product has barely faded sine I first applied it. The color still looks even and beautiful.Overall, I can't recommend this tanner enough. It's just as high qualify, probably better, than some of the more popular, higher end tanners. Plus, you can't beat the price.

This is my new favorite self tanner. I hate my pasty white skin but don't want to tan and I try to avoid staying in the sun too long because the sun ages you and can cause skin cancer if you tan too much. So I self tan. I used to use their "DARK" color but this one is wayyyy better. I used to sleep in my self tanner so the next day I could shower, but with this stuff its not a good idea because for some reason after sleeping in it, it looked kinda greenish and uneven. After I showered it was fine and I ended up reapplying for a nice brown dark color. I recommend just exfoliating in the shower and applying at the beginning of the day and buying foundation that matches and you will be happy. I attached a photo of my arm next to my legs RIGHT after I put it on my arm only.. so you can see the difference. You can apply it and wait an hour or 4 hours or whatever and wash it off and you will have a pretty good tan, but it won't be as dark as if you just apply it and leave it on and rock it like it is. That's what I prefer to do. I have ordered 3 of these so far and I will continue to order them every month as my self tanner. It dries fast and I usually apply 2 coats but you don't need to. It doesn't rub off but will wash off with water so if you plan on swimming, apply it hours beforehand and shower before swimming.

Finally! An actual dark self tanning product! This is the closest I've come to finding a product that is as dark as a professional $65 each spray tan. Not one done in an automatic booth, but someone actually spraying you correctly.If you use a mitt, you should have no problem blending this properly. I can only imagine those having issues aren't as well versed with self tanning as they claim, or are incorrectly trying to use gloves. You MUST use a Mitt if you want even application of any self tanner. Mousse is literally the easiest type of tanning product to spread evenly and blend. Much easier than the liquid, wipes or spray type.I previously used the St. Tropez and St. Moriz Dark Mousse and those were my two favorites, out of a ton of products I've tried. This is now my go to for self tanning. I do recommend leaving this on for 8 hours, like any other spray tan or self tanner, before rinsing off.For those disappointed that the color guide comes off. The tanner is never as dark as the guide. It is the same thing with a professional spray tan. It will always be lighter, once rinsed off. If you're losing all color when rinsing. You didn't exfoliate or prep your skin properly.

I have gotten so many compliments on this fake tan! However, sleep in it. I know it says to wash it off quickly but it works the best when you leave it on all night. A lot of color guard does come off in the shower however I still have a great color and I am as white as printer paper. The color guard is very aggressively dark haha so just beware. But once you take a shower in the morning it looks so great! It does dry quickly though so make sure to apply in smaller sections at first.

I really like other products from this brand and have used this until nearly gone, trying to like it, but I’m not impressed. For one, it is almost definitely expired. But despite that, it goes on nicely, does dry fast so better for experienced self tanners. But I have left it on for an entire 12 hours and it STILL washes nearly completely off when I shower. And I’m paper white. After showering, I’m maybe one shade darker than usual. But don’t hate the brand, they have other products that I love. This was a flop. But I tried this same one from Ulta and it was better from there, probably because this one seems expired. It’s turning green on my skin.
