I know that fake tan for guys is a controversial topic but I’m an advocate of it. Now there’s no excuse to going around like a tangerine, so that is why I absolutely love the St Moriz Instant Tanning Range in the shade Medium.
I know some guys would say you’d be better to stick with a tinted
moisturiser but I find products like this to be ineffective – little to no
colour pay-off.
That’s why the St. Moriz
range is so damn good. Its fool proof to apply; as it has a guide colour but most
importantly it gives a completely natural light golden tan. I think this is
because it has a green undertone to counteract any orange-ness!
St Moriz Professional Medium Lotion*
This is my favourite from the range; it glides onto the skin – no streaks
and a fantastic natural golden tan to boot. I actually use this for my “Farmers’
Tan” i.e. just tanning my face, neck and arms. And it blends in seamlessly! I
leave this on overnight and I will admit that I get a bit of a fright when I
look in the mirror – but fear not the guide colour rinses off and I’m left with
a realistic natural glow. I simply adore the texture and application. I find it
so easy to use and the results are great!
I know that this is the cult favourite from St Moriz but I just prefer the lotion formulation. Don’t get me
wrong, it’s a fab self-tanner but I like to apply little amounts of the product
at a time (don’t want to go too dark!) and I find that with the mousse you have
to use a full pump at a time or else you end up with an odd half watery/mousse
concoction!
This is great if you want an instant injection of colour. But this is
more of a ladies option in my opinion. When you look at it straight from the
tube, the shimmer looks alarming – it seems to be more glitter than tan. But
once applied it’s not too obvious. The shimmer is subtle enough in natural
light but under artificial lighting it’s a definite no no.
My tips for applying any tanning product is to use gloves – I find I don’t
waste as much product and also a mitt tends to stick to facial hair. But after
applying with the gloves, I’ll then grab my mitt to make sure my tan is blended
to perfection. Also apply small amounts of the product at a time and blend it extremely well.
St Moriz Professional Tanning Range is a fantastic self-tanning range for both guys and girls; it extremely
affordable and the end results are completely natural. I find the St Moriz tan lasts quite well too,
about 3-4 days and that is with cleansing twice daily and shaving daily. Not
bad, eh!
The St Moriz Professional Tanning
Range is available online at Boots, Superdrug and at FeelUnique.
