St
Tropez Tan - FAQ
Q. What do I need to do prepare my skin before applying St
Tropez Tan?
You will need to clean and exfoliate the skin thoroughly,
then moisturise difficult areas only, such as knees, ankles, elbows
etc.
Q. How dark is it on really fair/pale skin?
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. St Tropez tan will obviously look darker
on people with olive skin.
Q. What should I wear whilst I'm waiting for the tan develop?
It is advised to wear loose baggy clothing, so the tan does
not rub off by abrasive clothing.
Q. How long should I wait before showering?
A minimum of 3 hours.
Q. Does the tan go orange?
No. The formulation has a tint of green in it which prevents
the tan from going orange.
Q. How long will the tan last for?
Some people report tans lasting up to two weeks. On average
we recommend that a tan will last a minimum of 7 - 10 days.
Q. Do you think I should attend the salon first before using
the product myself?
Many customers use the product confidently at home and achieve
success by following the instructions accurately or watching the
instruction video (see our accessories page). You may feel happier
attending the salon at first, to get use to the nature of the
product and how it applies, for the first time and then top up
at home in future.
Q. Will it wash off?
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.
Q. Can I go swimming?
Swimming in the sea on holiday is fine. However, swimming
in baths is not advised as chlorine bleaches the tan.
Q. Can I sunbathe with this product?
The self tan product has no SPF factors in it. Therefore
normal protection products would need to be applied on top to
sunbathe. We offer a SP15 sports lotion - see our accessories
area.
Q. Does the product smell?
The product has a pleasant aromatic scent.
Q. Can vitiligo sufferers use St Tropez?
Yes. Vitiligo sufferers find that this product does help
to cover their condition and we have produced a set of application
directions specifically for vitiligo sufferers.
Q. I am allergic to other self-tanning products - will I be
allergic to this product?
It is very likely that you are allergic to the DHA's present
in self tan products. The St Tropez self tan also has these present.
