Bondi Sands Self Tanning Lotion Dark
This lotion was by far the best on the market in that price bracket UNTIL they recently changed the formula. It now dries your skin to the point whereby you have legs and arms that look like tiger bread after 2 days. The colour is now more orangey than a cool brown. Very disappointed! still waiting for a response from Bondi about this - Disaster
Purchased in January 2020 for $14.99.
I usually use the foam but I tried the lotion because it was on sale and it’s so much better ! It’s not sticky and during the development i forgot that it was on, feels just like moisturiser. There is little to no smell also which I love I always hated that with the foam
Purchased at City Farmers for $20.
First I had tried the light/medium tan which i found applied well with the mitt but didnt last. So purchased the Dark tan (I am pale) used the bondi sands exfoliating glove and then applied with mitt and left tan on for 6 hrs as it states. Went to have a shower and it all came off, I looked exactly the same as before I tanned! Would not recommend, also I found that the mitt had absorbed most of the tan aswell when applying.
Purchased in May 2022.

Applied dark tan as it should’ve been starting with 24hr prior exfoliating, shaving, moisturizing etc. then pre wash no lotion prior to application etc. Applied 3 generous pumps to mitt for each area used up down motion followed instructions waited 6hrs prior to reshowering & did this 3 times 3 days in a row resulting in only a very faint color. Third attempt the tan just washed right off on the white bar of soap but the nasty sweaty dog feet smell sure stuck around! Only spot color stayed was my scars & under my boobs (no relation) which final...
Read morely started rubbing off after I got sweaty working out a week later & that smell got worse! The adds are absolutely deceiving showing women dark after first use! Emailed company about this asking HOW is it possible your models get SO dark after ONE use?! Response back was it MUST be user error & wanted a photo and/or video of me applying the tan and didn’t even answer my question. I get it it’s what they sell but that’s very unnecessary to require photo/video prof of the product NOT working as advertised & kind of invasive. She also requested the UPC & batch # from the bottle which goes to prove they don't actually READ customer emails because I had included ALL of that info in the first email! The positives: Smells coconut like BEFORE leaving it on & its extremely easy to apply. The negatives: Everything else about it.Purchased in March 2022 for $24.

My tan looked so good like it was real and I didt get that same smell as a normal fake tan. My tan lasted 8 days, I used the Bondi sands gradual tanner after each shower and patted myself dry. All round great product!!
I had been using the dark foam but found that the tan went very patchy after the 4th day, so I switched the the lotion hoping it would be more moisturising. Slept in the tan overnight, I was a really nice shade by the time I woke up. Then I washed it off.....and any colour that was in my skin disappeared! So annoyed as this cost me $20. Won't buy again.
Quick application, 5 minutes. The tan has no effect what’s so ever, after the shower my skin was the same colour as before application. Better off to invest in St Tropez.

I tried Bondi because everyone was raving about it! Applied it and it smells like the ultimate gross fake tan smell lol!!! It turned me green!!!! So I tried it again a week later and I was green again haha! Maybe it’s something in my skin that reacts with the tan perhaps. It’s a 0 from me in my opinion haha!

You have to blend really well and find the right colour for your skin in order for it to look natural. I use the the Bondi Sands Self tanning foam in Dark as well as the tanning mitt and tanning makes me look skinner! I highly recommend Bondi Sands, even youtube stars use it.

I just didn't feel the colour was natural looking. For the price I expected more of a quality product. The tan also didn't wear very evenly, I always make sure i exfoliate well before applying my tan so I get a decent amount of wear but this only lasted two days.

As if the Tan Eraser wasn’t one of the biggest and most pathetic let downs in product history, this one managed to upstage it.
I’ve used BS for many years and all it toom was this experience to turn me off it forever. I bought the “Ultra Dark” mousse. I lathered it on my skin and was shocked to see it completely liquify on my skin before my eyes.
It dripped ALL OVER my bathroom floor. Considering I’d already made a mess, I did another 3 layers and left it on for 6 whole hours.
I washed it off in the shower and was furious. I was just as white as I was before putting the product on.
What an absolute scam. You’re dead to me BS. Your brand is going downhill. Bye bye Felicia!

Have tried numerous brands over the last 20 years or more. This is the first tan I have actually received compliments on for the scent lol!
The colour is great, always get comments on how naturally tanned I look, not orange at all and you can even mix it in with your body moisteriser (any brand) if you want a more gradual build up of colour. Never steaks for me, I apply with gloves, works like a charm.
And when priceline have a 40-50% off sale it's an absolute steal!

Salesperson at Priceline recommended this one to me. I was looking for a tan for dance comps, I layered it on for about 3 days in a row. Hated it. Smelly, streaky, drying, colour didn't last. I was going to just use up the tube so I didn't waste money, but I ended up throwing it away. Sent feedback to Bondi Sands and had absolutely no response. Never a good sign.
I've never had problems applying this tan, however it is a bit thicker than other tans i've used before. I purchased this product last week as I did not get a tan after my recent Europe trip and had to be back in the office the day after I arrived. After applying 3 layers the night before, almost everyone had noticed that I was considerably darker than before I left for my trip. By the way, I just came back from Greece like 3 days ago
This is the worst ran I have ever used.
The smell is so over powering br far
I am a fan of fake tan & this is the worst by far
Questions & Answers
Do I need to rinse my body after using Bondi sands pure self tan foaming water?
How do you rinse off the tan after applying? Just getting under warm water and not using soap, or you do use soap?
Hi
Can you sleep with the tan on or will it be too dark once showered off?
I put it on very thoroughly, put on a tee shirt & sleep. That gives it all night to set. Residue does wash off on your first shower. I don't know that light coloured sheets would be the best bet though?
