Bondi Sands Everyday Gradual Tanning Milk

This is very good, a nice color, not too dark but not too light, no streaks. I didn't notice an overpowering tanning smell at all. Smelled quite nice to me.

I bought this on a whim as I’d seen it recommended in various places and it came up on my recommendations so I bought with (without reading the description). First I have to say this is probably the nicest gradual tanner I’ve tried in terms of use. It soaks in and dries very quickly, which makes application very easy. No more waiting forever before you can get dressed! The colour builds nicely. I am very fair and have a good colour after 3 applications. I’ve not noticed any transfer. However, the reason it’s got 4 stars instead of 5 is the smell. If you love cocoa butter then you may well love it. I don’t. I think if I’d have read the description properly, I probably wouldn’t have bought it. My husband has also noted that I smell like weetabix a few hours after application haha. I will probably buy again however because it works like a dream,

Love this product. Lightweight but gives good moisture to skin. Not greasy. Easy to apply and smells nice too - almost like Cocoa butter / chocolate smell. Leaves a good, slight glow after first use, second and third use really builds and colour noticeable. I’ve not had issues with streaking but do use gloves now as found it stained my palms badly and would not wash off. Once I have applied to body I take gloves off and either use a brush to draw lotion over tops of hands or do one top of hand and then the second. I then use wet / damp flannel or cloth to wipe over the palms of my hands to ensure no staining.

I don't use tanning products because of hassle or streaks or the "orange" tint, however, this is such a great product. Dries instantly, no streaks, blends well with my pigment (I'm yellow tint - orange tans look awful on me), moisturises my skin and builds up gradually so I control the shade. The only downside (subjective) is I can't stand the smell. It's like a cocoa type scent. If you had a cocoa-malt drink, it'd probably smell like this. Ovaltine tanning lotion haha. It's not extremely smelly, I'm just a sensitive soul and don't like food smells in lotions. I would happily use this every summer.

I’ve used this for years, the smell is generally lovely & no weird “biscuit” smell & very effective, but bought this recent batch & not sure if they’ve changed ingredients or whether it’s off as it doesn’t smell great, is very watery & not as effective… once this bottle done I’ll be shopping around.

Ok so I've tried alot of gradual tanners and so far this seems to be the best, the only issue I have with every gradual tanner including this one is that you try to build the tan too dark it does turn orangey, in my experience and from what I've read it's a gradual tanner thing and its inevitable, the tanning creams that you put on and then wash off for an instant tan do tend to give a more natural brown tan and dont tend to lean orange, I think this will always be an issue with the gradual tanners but with that being said the reason this one seems to be the best gradual tanner I've found is because if i have built it up too much it doesnt seem to go as orangey as others plus it seems to do this magic thing whereby if it has gone a tad orange and I then have a shower it tones down the orange and leaves it a more natural looking tan, it's really bizarre, and I'm not talking even washing my skin I mean just letting the water run over my body, it seems to tone down the orange and take it back to a more natural looking tan, i dont know if anybody else has experienced this but it's kinda magic lol. If you apply this once with a decent covering you will wake up the next day with a very natural subtle tan, I does look as though you've just sunbathed, it takes the edge off of of pale skin and leaves you with a slight natural tan, I then reapply every other day or every 2 days, the reason being is like I said if you build this up too quickly just like every other gradual tanner it does turn you slightly orangey, I dont think we will ever escape this with gradual tanners, every single one I've tried nomatter how expensive does turn orangey if its built up too much, what ive found is that gradual tanners should only really be used if you only want a very subtle tan, if you use it in this way and dont overapply to get a deeper tan it will look natural and not orangey, if you want a really deep tan I really think the instant tanners that wash off look ten times more natural, they are more of a brown tan rather than leaning towards orange but that's just my personal experience, if this is used only for a subtle tan it is perfect. The other thing I love about this tanner is that it's the only one I've found that doesnt look bad on dry areas of skin or on my hands and feet, if it isnt overapplied like I said even if you mess up some areas it doesnt look terrible, it doesnt seem to cling to dry areas of skin. The best thing about this gradual tanner though is that it fades naturally like a natural tan would, it doesnt look stupid as its fading, it kinda blends in with your own skin as its fading off so you dont look like you applied tan and its fading with loads of patches, it's kinda undetectable as its fading. The only thing I'm not overlly keen on with this tanner is the scent, it's not grotesque but it's not great either, I swallow of reviews saying it's not bad and it isnt but i find it actually smells stronger and a little worse than some tanners that I've tried once it's completely soaked in, I rectify this though by using a nice smelling moisturiser for fake tans so it's not an issue but it does have a strong tanner smell, a bit like biscuit mixed with plastic is the only way I can explain it. I know by my review it doesnt come across like this stuff is that great lol but it really is I just wanted to be honest about the pros and cons, so far it's the best gradual that I've found, just remember that being a gradual that if you build it too much it will turn orangey, there must be something different in gradual tanners because the instant tans dont seem to. Overall if you use this sparingly and are looking for a very subtle hint of a tan so that you dont look ghastly white then this is the best you'll likely find it is extremely natural

The texture is super smooth and easy to apply, and it doesn't leave that sticky feeling like some other products I've used in the past. What I really appreciated was how natural the color looked—no weird orange tint, just a nice, even bronze glow.

Best tanning milk product I've tried! Absorbs and dries quickly without leaving a sticky feeling to the skin. Noticeable results after just a couple of days and it provides a beautiful, natural glow. Yes, it still has a hint of that fake tanner smell, however, it's mostly masked with a chocolatey pleasant smell. Its a strong smell! But a good one.

Teint parfait mais attention de bien se laver les mains comme tous les auto-brozant celui là fonctionne particulièrement bien

Nowhere near as good as St Tropez gradual tan. This is pale and does not show up on first application unlike St Tropez GT. Disappointed I'd read it was good. Failed to impress.

Great tan (no streaks). But the smell does give off fake tan-vibes. So best to use before going to bed, and showering in the morning if you ask me!

Love love love this. Not as thick as a lotion so it goes on easily and absorbs/dries in just a few minutes. Leaves my skin feeling soft. Some self tanner is a pain to use, but this one is pleasant! The scent is more of a cocoa smell than tanner smell and I don’t find it obnoxious at all. Used it twice and starting to see nice natural looking color.
