ST TROPEZ GRADUAL TAN FACE LOTION

Even in the summer, I never fail to look extremely pale, especially on my face. I think this is probably due to the fact that I hardly leave my house because I'd much rather stay at home and online shop or something, but still - I want to look like I've got a lovely summer glow rather than looking like a ghost.

The St.Tropez Gradual Tan Face Lotion in light/medium was the product I decided to go for. I was a little scared of going for a full on fake tan as I did not want to look orange or crazily tanned. This product is a great alternative as it is a hydrating face moisturiser with an added touch of fake tan to it. The tan is build-able and develops over 4-12 hours. You can apply this daily to achieve the look you want.

For the first 3 days, I applied the product each morning to my face and neck as instructed. You apply it much like a normal moisturiser but all over your face and neck in light sweeping motions. I must admit that I was quite disappointed as I did not notice much of a difference in colour at all, but it did give me more of a glowing appearance. However,  on the fourth day of using the lotion, it has finally worked! I have a very subtle, natural looking tan to my face, much better than the pale, ill looking colour I was before.

Overall, The product does sort of do what it says, I'd say it gives a light build-able tan, and gives a glow to your face. I don't think it is something that I would purchase again though as it is a bit too subtle for what I was hoping.

If you are looking for a very bronzed tan then I really would not recommend this product, It would work well if you are very pale and want to give the appearance of a light sun-kissed glow.

You can purchase it here for £14.30 :  St Tropez
