Product Review: St. Morzi Instant Self Tanning Mousse

Today I'm linking up with Nancy, for The Glam Series: self tanner. Somewhere on Pinterest I came across a list of great self tanners. Being in PA school and hoping to end up in Dermatology or Plastics I feel as though I should be more of a sunscreen advocate. In hopes of trying to find a safe alternative, I purchased the St. Moriz tanner on Amazon as it is a UK brand.

The St Moriz is foam application, which I was a little wary of at first. First I exfoliated with a dry brush, then I applied my regular lotion taking extra care to hit my dry areas {knees, ankles, elbows}. After I applied the lotion, I waited about ten minutes or so before applying the St Moriz foam. My first impression was "good thing I didn't waste too much money." I thought for sure that I would have some major streaks even after blending everything I could because the foam tends to dry quickly leaving anything unblended blatantly obvious. The upside was that I could tell it was not an orange undertone, it was pure bronze and that gave me hope. After allowing it all to dry fully, I jumped in my jammies and headed to bed hoping I wouldn't look like a zebra in the morning. 

The next morning I hopped out of bed ready to rinse off and see what had become of it all. I was very pleasantly surprised to find absolutely no streaks, anywhere! Even my back, which we all know can be very difficult reaching and blending everything. I am absolutely sold on it now despite the foam bit. Maybe one day they'll make an aerosol version and it would be perfection, until then I'm happy to use what I have. Overall I will definitely be using this tanner in the future, it gave a nice warm glow to my very pale legs without looking too fake.
