Pre summer = time to start tanning!

So this is officially my first blog...... Exciting! What better way to start than on a fake tanning product! I've been hearing a lot of good things about St Moriz instant self tanning mouse, and at a bargain of £2.99 for 200mls what did I have to lose (other than looking like an oompa loompa). It is stocked in local Home bargains and Savers. You can also buy online here.

So firstly the closest product I can compare to is St Tropez tanning mouse. They both go on as a brown mouse so you can see exactly where you are putting the tan. I would say that the St Moriz smells a bit better than the St Tropez.

So I chose the normal tan colour, the product also comes in dark. I would usually choose the darker colour but as I wasn't sure about the product I thought I would choose the safe option. I can always choose to apply more regularly to achieve a darker deeper colour. So let's get to the nitty gritty I think St Moritz is a fantastic product. It is marketed as a professional flawless tan, easy, no mess application which is exactly what it is. I apply the tan with a mit, it goes on brown so you almost get an immediate bronze colour and then the tan continues to develop over 4-6hours. The tan develops into a gorgeous golden colour (no orange in sight), i've not experienced any streaks either. Obviously this is just for the standard colour, will try the dark colour next and add to this post.

What I will say is don't expect to put one application on and expect to look like you've just come back from a week in the sun. The normal colour is ideal for paler skin types who want to build a nice natural golden tan, so if you have a darker skin type then the darker shade would better suit you. I would suggest applying at least twice a week to keep your tan from fading. For only £2.99 it is worth giving a go, you never know you may just fall in love and save some pennies by not buying endless tanning products that cost a fortune, smell vile and leave you with streaks!
