St Moriz Dark Instant Self Tanning Mousse

I was stopped dead in my tracks when I noticed that there is now a St Moriz Dark available! I'm a massive fan of the original St Moriz and have been using it for the last couple of years. It is, in my opinion just as good as more expensive brands and it only costs a few quid. I am never without a bottle and always have a few back ups in my drawer.


The St Moriz Dark say.....

''If you're looking to achieve a deeper coloured tan. St Moriz Dark is Perfect for you!

A Unique Blend of active tanning agents work their magic, leaving you with a beautiful, deep bronze, natural looking tan''






St Moriz Dark, is just like the original mousse but a lot deeper in colour.


If I'm being completely honest here, I was absolutely petrified when I first started applying this as the guide colour was so dark, and was worried I'd end up looking orange. So not a good look!


I applied it in exactly the same way I apply the original and it, and I didn't notice any difference between the two. It behaved in the same way and took the same length of time to dry. It was super easy and really fast. That's what I love about St Moriz......you can literally just slap it on and not worry about it.


Why does someone always ring the bloody doorbell when you look like crap? That's what happened to me around 2 hours into the development time! I was wearing scruffy clothes, no bra underneath my top, hair not brushed. I wouldn't have answered it, but my son did. Such an embarrassing, cringe worthy moment!


After a lovely hot bath....here is the finished result. I'm not wearing make up in the picture to show you the true colour of the tan.....






I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it would take me a lot darker than it did. It always amazes me how different St Moriz looks on other people. Looking at pictures online.....most people seem to go a lot darker than I do. It must react with my skin differently, and most of it washes down the plug hole to be honest. It definitely has gone a bit deeper than the original St Moriz takes me though, and I'm really happy with the results.


The colour did grab a bit too much around my knees, elbows ect, but it was easily sorted out with a scrub in the bath. The final result is a really natural looking tan. I don't think I'm ready to give up the original version just yet though, I love it way too much, but this will be perfect for nights out etc.


Has anyone else tried the Dark St Moriz? What do you think?
