The colour it produces is not very intense, it's a light, golden shade of bronze that looks very natural. I have fair skin so I find the tan to be pretty subtle with one coat only. I normally need two applications to get a brown tan but that's because I'm super pale. When my skin has a bit of sun tan, one layer is usually enough to get me a beautiful, amber bronze.
The lasting power is not that great though and that's probably the only downside to this product; the colour fades after three, four days so you have to reapply it at least twice a week to maintain the tan. But other than that, it is a great tanner and I like that it does not come off in patches.
If you are after a self tanner that smells beautiful and won't make you look orange, St. Tropez Classic Bronzing Mousse really is one to try. It's a product I highly recommend even to those who don't have any experience in applying a self tanner as it is super simple to use.
The texture is just gorgeous, it's a lightweight, airy mousse that spreads evenly and glides very easily on the skin. You need to blend it well to prevent streaking but since it has a guide colour you can see exactly where you apply the product so it's basically impossible to miss any areas. It is also non sticky and dries completely in less than 5 minutes. Plus it smells incredibly good! It has a floral-fruity scent I just love, it's a mix of bergamot and apple with a hint of rose and a touch of musk..It is by far the most pleasant smelling self tanner I have ever tried!
