How to get a dark tan
Exfoliate 24 hours before tanning
The key to a streak-free tan is clean, smooth skin. That’s why you should always exfoliate 24 hours prior to tanning to remove any rough, dry patches that could absorb excess tan and create an uneven finish.
To achieve your smooth canvas, gently buff our Body Exfoliator onto your skin, focusing on dry areas, like the heels, ankles, elbows and knees. Its specially-designed tan enhancing formula perfectly prepares the skin, allowing the fake tan to glide on smoothly, last longer and look flawless.
,
Moisturise dry skin
Just before applying your dark fake tan, massage an oil-free moisturiser onto the dryer areas of your body (think feet, ankles, hands, elbows and knees) to hydrate and prime the skin.

Apply your dark fake tan
Ready for your deep, dark glow? Apply and blend your chosen St Tropez dark tanner:
- How to apply tanning mousse: If you chose the St.Tropez Dark or Extra Dark Mousse, pump your fake tan onto a tanning mitt, then sweep over the skin using circular motions to achieve an even-looking and streaky-free finish.
- How to apply tanning mist: If you opted for the St. Tropez Dark Tanning Mist, spritz onto the body, then blend with the tanning mitt to achieve a deep, natural bronze.
Rinse off after 4 hours for our iconic dark bronze or 8 hours for a post-holiday glow.
