Get a red carpet glow with St. Tropez
Ensure flawless head to toe perfection like Gwyneth with the celebrities secret weapon… a St. Tropez skin finish! Create Gwyneth’s Californian tan at home with St. Tropez Gradual Tan PLUS Firming to give the illusion of long, toned golden pins. St. Tropez Gradual Tan PLUS Firming is the ultimate multi-purpose body lotion that firms, tones and moisturises whilst adding a healthy radiant glow to the skin.
To create Gwyneth’s look, St. Tropez Skin Finishing Expert Nichola Joss recommends:
“To achieve Gwyneth’s flawless glow, exfoliate with St. Tropez Body Polish before massaging your entire body with the Gradual Tan PLUS Firming. Don’t worry if you go over the same area twice, it’s only missed patches that can look uneven. Wait a few minutes for the lotion to be absorbed before getting dressed. Daily use will subtly boost a winter pale or enhance sun-tanned skin.”

For best results, massage into clean, dry skin and blend in carefully up to your hairline.
