Since St Moriz became well known around 2008, people have suggested that it's a 'rival' to St Tropez. I strongly disagree. After using St Moriz for around 6 months in 2008/2009, I have been put off for life. At first, it was relatively fine, I even (for around 10 minutes) considered it on a par with my beloved St Tropez but after a while it began to show an increasing number of flaws.
1) Even when the whole body has been moisturised and exfoliated, unattractive patches are found in the most unlikely of places, for example, the inside of your elbows and on the neckline.
2) The spray bottle is extremely unreliable, it often dries before there is time to rub it in (rubbing it in is definitely necessary as it simply drips and dries if left).
3) The mousse is extremely dark at first and is incredibly hard to wash off your hands, I do not recommend putting this fake tan on your hands, I'd rather opt for something like Garnier or Dove tanning moisturiser for such delicate and visible places.
4) It IS orange. Regardless of how many people tell you it's deep brown or gives a 'sun-kissed glow', it's most definitely a nasty shade of orange. You can just tell it's a cheap fake tan.
I decided to write this review because I'm sick of seeing people raving about it all the time when it's been out for so long and is actually a bad self tanner. People compare the ingredients of St Moriz to St Tropez and claim that there is no difference, but there is a definitely a difference in the quality of the product. I understand that for some people, St Moriz may work perfectly well for them and be exactly what they want from their self tanner and that's great; it's cheap and may well be a great tanning product for some individuals. However, it hasn't been for me and personally, I'll be sticking to Garnier sun-kissed gradual tan and St Tropez for those special occassions. St Moriz just doesn't cut it for me. Sorry to all it's devoted fans out there!
