Bondi SandsLiquid Gold Self-Tanning Dry Oil | Ultra Nourishing No Wash Off Formula Gives Skin a Long-Lasting Golden Tan, Enriched with Argan Oil, Vegan + Cruelty , Coconut Scent | 150 mL/5.07 Oz

Used Bondi Sands many times before. It’s an excellent product.This is currently at a Super amazing price £7.80. It’s a definite buy.Tan looks natural, I spray it on at night, let it dry, it says mins, but reality is a good 20 min, 30 min to be sure.About 1/6th of the bottle is adequate for all over tan, it darkens over night, so don’t go crazy with it. Had complements today about how lovely tan is. Always had natural looking tan with Bondi Sands, except the mousse I used once, years back which was a disaster! Lol!I don’t bother with the mitt. You should do really tho to be honest. I just use hands, make sure you wash your palms with soap straight after if you do it this way.Have a good scrub in the shower before hand, harder areas of skin / dry / dead skin, will tan much darker, be particularly mindful of elbows, they need only a thin coat, otherwise will go a fair bit darker.I leave mine to cure over night, if you want a lighter tan, then wash off after 4 - 6 hours. Darker tan, leave on for 10 - 12 hours. (I do and it looks lovely)Lasts for a week, I also have Bondi Sands gradual tan for a gentle top up every now and then.Final tip: keep your chin up high whilst it’s drying, if you look down creases in the neck will go twice as dark, giving you some distinctive zebra stripes. Chin up as much as possible as long as possible.So overall:1. Good scrub in shower, exfoliate, dry off fully.2. Don’t go mad with it, it’s not an instant tan, it develops3. Keep that chin up till fully dried.4. If worried about it getting too dark, shower off after 6hrs this will stop it developing further.5. If it’s raining, for goodness sake don’t put it on in the morning and go outside! (I learned that the hard way!) best to use in the evening at home.6. If used immediately before bed time and you have white sheets you will get some transfer, this washes out no problem. Best to apply a couple hours before bed to avoid this all together. I usually put on about 7 / 8pm. Bed time 11pm, shower 7 / 8am.If your new to Bondi Sands, it will probably become your new self tan, I’ve tried loads and it’s by far the best and most natural tan.If your new to self tanning, just go easy with it, a little goes a long way. Remember, it develops over several hours, it’s not an instant tan! Think I read a review of someone using the entire bottle! Don’t do that!!At this price it’s an absolute bargain. I will certainly stock up! 5***** product!

I never write reviews but this is hands down the best tan I've ever used. I ordered it after getting fed up with the usual mousses/foams that cling to my elbows and knees, dry my skin out and look horrible and patchy when wearing off (This includes other Bondi Sands products). I tried it for the first time a week before my event to make sure it looked OK, and ended up going to the event with the initial application on as it still looked so good. It has some downsides but I'd happily deal with them for such an effective, lasting tan.Pros: Very hydrating, easy to apply, smells great, lasts well, fades evenly, no wash off required, doesn't cling to dry areas like knees or elbows, no stained bedsheets, sale price £8!!Cons: Faint guide colour makes it a bit difficult to see where you've applied.It's also best used sprayed directly onto skin so you're unable to spray it 'upside down' when doing your back or hard to reach places. Not an issue if you have someone to help apply.

I had really high hopes for this product and followed the instructions from one of the other reviewers saying to just use your hands to rub it in properly and then wash your hands really well.I really thought I'd covered everywhere pretty evenly but woke up this morning looking a bit like a zebra.That said my brown bits are a very lovely shade of brown! I'm going to have another bash later on with a mit this time and try to cover my white bits!It smells lovely going on and it dries relatively quickly in comparison to some other products I've previously used.You still get the biscuits smell later on as the tan develops but I think that's across the board for every product.I suspect my stripey application is more down to my application technique as opposed to the product itself however is difficult to know!I'll have another bash later and update my review!
