Our Review of Bondi Sands Dark Self Tanning Foam:

If you’re looking for a deep, natural-looking tan without the need for sun exposure, Bondi Sands Dark Self Tanning Foam is a fantastic option. This Australian-made product is well-loved for its salon-quality formula, ease of application, and long-lasting results.

Formula and Application

Bondi Sands Dark Self Tanning Foam has a lightweight, mousse-like texture that glides smoothly onto the skin. The formula is enriched with aloe vera to keep the skin hydrated and coconut scent to provide a pleasant tropical aroma, making the application experience enjoyable. Applying this self-tanner is straightforward. For best results, it’s recommended to exfoliate beforehand and use a tanning mitt to ensure an even application. The foam dries relatively quickly, typically within 60 seconds, reducing the risk of transfer onto clothes and sheets.

Colour and Results

One of the standout features of this product is its rich, deep bronze colour. The tan develops over six hours, and for those who want an even darker finish, a second coat can be applied. Unlike some self-tanners that lean too orange, Bondi Sands Dark provides a natural, olive-toned tan that suits various skin tones.

The longevity of the tan is impressive, lasting about a week with proper skin preparation and maintenance. Regular moisturising helps to extend the tan and prevent patchiness as it fades. The fade-off is generally even, though drier areas like knees, elbows, and hands may require extra care.
