I was excited to try the Isle of Paradise Express Mousse since I'd never used a mousse tanning product. I've only ever used gel/lotion types. The bottle suggested using a tanning mitt so I got one since I didn't want to dye my hands or nails. I tried it on my legs first and used about 4 pumps each. The mousse stayed in place and wasn't messy. It was really easy to apply and work in evenly. Because it leaves an initial color, it was easy to see if I'd missed any spots. Instructions say to rinse off after 30 minutes or leave on for a deeper tan and the tan will continueyo develop for severalhours. I rinsed off after about 45 mins and didn't notice a huge difference but my legs match my arms now. The tan did get a little darker but I really just wanted some color for my vacation so I can build the tan while I'm here. My legs were also super soft and shiny after, it was very hydrating. I like that you can build on the product to create a darker look if you prefer, it's helpful for those who aren't trying to make a drastic change after one application. The product didn't stink and was pleasant to use. I'd say I prefer the mousse formula to what I've used before because of ease of application and less mess.

Love most all the Isle of paradise products and this one is pretty great as well. The express mousse says to keep on for about 30 mins or so but I’ve found that leaving on for 3 hours gives the best natural looking tan that lasts for a while.

I love this self tanner ! I have a bit of a red undertone and this corrects and gives me a flawless tan. it is never orange and it doesn’t peel weird! This is my go to
