Best self tan mousse?

12 replies

Can anyone recommend a good self tan mousse? Ideally one that dries fairly quickly and doesn’t stay sticky for ages, and lasts well.

StTropez. Expensive for a reason

Isle of Paradise for me!

vita liberata. Worth every penny

Thanks for the recommendations. I used to use the Isle of Paradise tan mousse and liked it but the last couple of bottles I’ve bought have just been runny foamy water not actually mousse. The consistency seems to have gone completely wrong.

The san tropez and the vita liberate both sound good and I don’t mind spending more for a decent product. Can I ask how the application works with those? Do you have to put it on when you are going to be home for hours and then wash it off? Can you get dressed in between or will it all rub off on your clothes? I’ve never used one before that you have to rinse off.

Vita liberata dries very quickly, no fake tan smell. No rubbing off onto sheets etc. It is designed to last 3 weeks and IT DOES. It gets darker the longer / or more times you apply it. Personally I'm quite fair so only apply once and find it lasts solidly for 10 days. colour is excellence. Application is almost fool proof. I used to be a product tester for boots so I've tried my fair share of tanning products!

Oh that does sound good. Which one of their products is it that you use? I am quite fair too so would probably do the same. Do you have to apply it and then wait a certain amount of hours before showering it off (and if so what can/can’t you do in between?

Skinny tan do (or used to do) a foam self tan. I thought it was really good and gave great, even coverage. In fact I may go and have to dig mine out now the likelihood of wearing shorts is hopefully increasing 🤣🤞🏼

I like skinny tan. It gives a great colour and streak free.

I’ve recently bought a st tropez one which is a mousse you apply then wait one minute and shower it off, I really like it.

The best one I’ve found is Bondi Sands dark tanning mousse, you can wash off after an hour but i’d usually leave on for 3 hours.
