Review: New holy grail fake tan - I love this stuff so much that after trying it twice I bought a bottle each for my mum and my flatmate. I have tried a lot of tans but usually get bored because applying them well is too time consuming and most go very patchy as they fade. This one is different. PROCESS: I exfoliate well with the bondi sands mitt in the shower beforehand and slap a small amount of moisturiser on my elbows and ankles. Once dry after my shower, I spray this (staying away from joints) straight onto my skin and then buff it in with a cheap tanning mitt, using the excess for my knees, ankles, elbows, and the backs of my hands. I apply it to my face and ears with either an old makeup brush or a smaller tanning mitt. DRYING: It dries within a few minutes and doesn’t transfer much, if at all - I apply it just before going to sleep and my white bedsheets are still sparkling. Barely any stickiness as it dries which is great - it doesn’t feel like you have product on your skin, and it doesn’t smear around once applied so little risk of patchiness. SMELL: It smells really lovely and coconutty when you first put it on. Over a few hours it will begin to smell like fake tan, that’s unavoidable, but it is much less strong than other formulas I have used, and goes away with a quick shower in the morning. EASE OF USE: It’s pretty foolproof, despite not having a strong colour guide. Make sure you apply it with a mitt and buff it in really well until it’s dry. It takes me less than ten minutes to do my whole body and face and dry enough to put loose clothes on without ruining the tan. This product does not need washing off, though you might want a quick shower after a few hours to get rid of tell tale fake tan smell. COLOUR: I have light warm toned skin (NC15 in mac) and find this gets me considerably darker all over with just one application. Two applications on consecutive days and I look like I’ve spent a fortnight on the beach. On pink or cool skin light skintones it might read a touch too warm toned and orangey, I am unsure, but it’s perfect if you already have a yellow undertone. LONGEVITY: Every tan I’ve ever used fades really patchy regardless of how well it went on, especially on the insides of my elbows. This one doesn’t do that - it seems to fade evenly everywhere. If I exfoliate so I can top it up, it comes off evenly to the same extent all over while still leaving quite a lot of colour. I got this on sale for £8 which is an absolute steal, but I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it at the full price of £14. For how good it is it’s a bargain
Review: Love this! Excellent Tan, best on market! - 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 develops 3. 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!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great but...
*by C***N on 21 August 2025*

Very easy to apply, smells great, develops fast, minimal dry time and has a nice finish. I'd say the nice finish only really lasts 24hrs or so then needs to be removed as goes patchy. Definitely not buildable either (not sure if it claims to be or not) but I did try and made it worse. For me I'll probably only use this if I forget to or don't have time to do a full normal tan before an event as it is great for that purpose
