How long will my
bottle of Auto-Bronzant Lotion 8oz. last me?
For an average body an
8oz. bottle will last approximately 2 months. Obviously, different body sizes
require more or less Auto-Bronzant.
Will a St. Tropez
tan protect me from the sun?
NO. When using the Auto-Bronzant your
skin will appear tan, even though it's not. This is an artificial tan. There is
no Sun Protection Factor (SPF) in the Auto-Bronzant, so your skin is still
exposed and vulnerable to the sun. If you choose to expose your skin to UV rays
either from the sun or a tanning bed, it is important to use the SPF 15 Sport
Lotion to protect you from the sun's harmful rays.
Why isn't there any SPF
in Auto-Bronzant Lotion?
Applied correctly, the protection in any
sunblock will at most last 12 hours. Since Auto-Bronzant is applied at night,
and the effects last for several days, adding SPF would not provide any
protection and could be misleading.
How long after
the application can I go in water or sweat?
A minimum of three hours
is required.
If I swim, will my
sunless tan go away?
No sunless tan can stand up to extreme
conditions. Long exposure to water will fade your St. Tropez tan. Your outer
cells will start to soak up water, which dilutes the effect of the tan. The
longer you are in the water, the lighter your tan will get. Using St. Tropez
regularly at night allows the tan to saturate the skin better. The tan will then
hold up longer in water. Be sure to moisturize every day as this helps maintain
the tan.
Can pregnant or
nursing mothers use the St. Tropez sunless tanner?
The concern some
doctors have is over whether or not the active ingredient (DHA) is able to enter
the blood stream, indications being that it cannot. DHA only penetrates the top
3 layers of the skin. However, if the client is still concerned they should
consult their physician first. FYI: DHA has been used as a cosmetic ingredient
in the United States since 1960 and no problems have ever been reported
concerning DHA penetrating the skin or causing problems during pregnancy.
Will St. Tropez
stain my pajamas or sheets?
The Auto-Bronzant will stain some fabrics.
For example: nylon, silk, wool and polyester. However, a good soaking in water
will usually lift the Auto-Bronzant from the fabric. All other materials are
completely safe. If the Auto-Bronzant rubs off on any other fabric it will
simply wash out.
Will St. Tropez
stain my clothes?
Make sure that you apply Auto-Bronzant at night and
shower off the excess in the morning, before you get dressed. This will prevent
the Auto-Bronzant from getting on your clothes. If you happen to apply the
Auto-Bronzant during the day, please be aware that it will stain nylon, silk,
wool and polyester.
Why do I need a
Body Polisher - why can't I use a loofa?
Using the Body Polisher
insures smoother softer skin for the Auto-Bronzant application, resulting in an
even and longer lasting tan. If you do not use Body Polisher you will be tanning
skin that is about to fall off and your tan will quickly disappear. Loofas do
not conform to the body and will result in an uneven exfoliation creating a
"zebra" look to the self-tan.
Should I shave before
or after the St. Tropez application?
Shaving is a form of exfoliation
so you should shave before the application. Shaving after will take off some of
your tan, so shave before.
If I use St.
Tropez under my arms should I remove any deodorant?
Yes. For the best
result remove deodorant and moisturize under the arm. Then apply a small amount
of self-tanner. Wait 3 hours to reapply deodorant. It may turn green when
deodorant is reapplied. If so, the green will rinse off in the shower.
I like my St. Tropez
tan but I want it darker.
St. Tropez recommends that the
Auto-Bronzant be applied at night to receive the maximum color. The
Auto-Bronzant needs a minimum of 3 hours to deposit on the skin. However, the
longer it is left on the darker it will get. If you want it darker still,
reapply 3 nights consecutively.
I like my St. Tropez
tan just the way it is - how do I keep it?
Make sure you moisturize
every day. For optimum results use the St. Tropez Body Moisturizer. The
L-Tyrosine will activate your skin's melanin thereby creating a longer lasting
tan. To keep your St. Tropez tan at the desired shade, reapply once or twice a
week according to your liking.
Should I be scared
if my tan looks streaky as it's drying?
NO. Don't worry if you look
streaky as it's drying. This is normal. As long as you rubbed it to a creamy
consistency, have left it moist and have covered all the areas you wish to be
tan, you will be fine! The Auto-Bronzant is drying that is all. Resist your
temptation to rub it in or smooth it out. Once it is rinsed or buffed (in a spa
setting) off it will be beautiful. Trust us!
