The Mousse That Gives My Skin a Just-Back-from-the-Beach Glow I'm naturally one of the palest people on the planet -- and not one of those luminous, alabaster-pale girls like Kate Bosworth. With my dark hair and penchant for wearing black, I give off a Wednesday Adams vibe, garnering at least one "Are you feeling alright?" comment over the course of winter.
I had pretty much accepted my washed-out fate until I met St. Tropez skin-finishing expert (and life-saving genius) Sophie Evans. After one spray tan with Evans (she's worked with St. Tropez for over 14 years, spraying bronzed gods/goddesses like David and Victoria Beckham), I was determined to keep up my new glow.
St. Tropez Self Tan Express Bronzing Mousse, $44, allows me to do just that. The shade technology lets me determine how light or deep I want my tan. Just shower one hour after applying for a hint of color, two for a medium glow or wait at least three hours for a dark tan that still looks natural. Meanwhile, the mousse formula makes it easy to cover my whole body in minutes, it dries quickly and the result is a perfect bronzed glow every time -- even when I haphazardly slather it on five minutes before crawling into bed.
