HOW I TAN USING THE ST TROPEZ PURITY RANGE.

A clear complexion and skin that’s tinted with a gorgeous golden glow is my absolute favourite. Nothing makes me feel more confident. 

But I don’t rely on those harmful UV rays to give me the sun kissed glow that I crave. And why would I ever need to when I’ve got my trusty collection of St Tropez fake tan goodies? 

Those of you that read my blog regularly will be no strangers to the fact that I love St Tropez. I’ve been using St Tropez tanning products for years, and I’ll never stop. For me, no other fake tan brand compares. St Tropez have paved the pathway for revolutionary false tanning products, and whilst my love for the St Tropez Classic Bronzing Mousse will never fade, I’ve got to say, the St Tropez Purity Range really is very, very special. 

This amazing self tan collection boasts a completely colourless formula and has been expertly developed to provide the most natural-looking tan ever.

And it really does do exactly that. 

Before applying the St Tropez Purity Bronzing Water Gel, I exfoliate my skin with the St Tropez Prep & Maintain Tan Body Polish, before moisturising using the St Tropez Prep & Maintain Tan Enhancing Moisturiser. I do all of this 24 hours beforehand and then apply a touch more moisturiser to my drier areas (elbows, knees, ankles and my eczema) just before applying the tan. 

For the best results, St Tropez recommend working the tan upwards and in circular motions, so that’s what I do - and I have to say, the results really are fab.

Before using this false tanning range, my one and only concern with this false tan gel was the fact that I wouldn’t be able to see where I had put it because of the colourless formula. Usually I opt for the St Tropez Express Gel and I like the fact I can see exactly where I have put it versus where I haven’t put any. 

But to my very pleasant surprise, this wasn’t an issue at all. In fact, the coverage was completely seamless - no streaks or missed bits whatsoever. The upwards circular motions application method definitely works a treat!

3 hours after applying - such a gorgeous, natural-looking golden glow!

The St Tropez Purity Bronzing Water Face Mist have actually used before.  But what I will say is that the two products together make for the most heavenly dynamic tanning duo ever. I’m completely obsessed with the all-over natural glow this perfect pairing creates. I feel like a golden goddess! And as the formula for this tan is completely non-comedogenic, there's no need to worry about breaking out. In fact, St Tropez pledge that this product is 100% clean, meaning that it's not only completely vegan-friendly, but also loaded with skin-loving ingredients that won't clog your complexion.

To help extend the longevity of my tan, I use the prep and maintain tan extending after showering. This oil free moisturiser locks in the tan for longer, prevents tan breakup and helps ensure the tan wears off evenly. So in short, it does everything that every seasoned fake-tanner dreams about - no unsightly patches or dodgy wear-off - ahhhhh!

When I’m ready for a complete fresh layer of tan, I use the St Tropez Tan Removal Mitt to erase all traces of tan before starting over again. Want to know more tips on how to remove fake tan? Be sure to check out my blog post 'How To Remove Fake Tan.'

If it wasn't already obvious, I thought I would round off this blog post by reiterating just how much I love this tanning range. St Tropez really is the best fake tan brand I have ever used (and I've tried them all, believe me!), and this stunning colourless formula is going to be a huge game-changer for me this coming Spring/Summer season.

I really hope you all enjoyed this blog post & I can't wait to share more with you very soon!

Until next time, my lovelies!

Lots of love,
