Bondi Sands Self Tanning Foam Dark 1 Hour Express

If you are someone who is already naturally a little darker, this may work for you. I on the other hand, am Snow White. As white as European white gets lol. This stuff turned me ORANGE. I have been tanning for years. Decided to give this a shot as I have a graduation party to go to this weekend, I need something quick and easy. I followed directions to a T, washed it off and quite frankly, I look like I belong in a chocolate factory working for Willie Wonka. I am so disappointed.😂 I usually stick with b.tan but went with this stuff after seeing some good reviews. I will be going back to b.tan, promptly after I can get this stuff off of my body. If you bought this stuff? Well, good luck Charlie.

Long time sunless tanner here. purched b4 reading reviews, ppl said it washed off so I decided to put it on after exfoliating, etc in the morning left it on all day, night and rinsed quickly the next day, instantly washed off. What gives bondi?

Hands down the best self tanner out there. I have been self tanning for 20 years and I have used COUNTLESS self tanners because I'm basically clear. Anytime I try something else… I kick myself for it. This thing is so under hyped and I cant figure out why. It lasts longer than others.. it has great color payoff.. fades evenly.. smell is there but not horrible (ALL tanners smell… period.. they can put whatever they want in it and it still smells everytime). The smell is gone after second shower with this one though (first shower after i dont use soap so its still there a little). Other tanners ive tried that have a lot of hype and i cant figure out why… st tropez (used to be my go to bc it had express but color is more orange IMO and fades faster than bondi sands) Loving Tan (expensiiiiive and sucks.. drying.. patchy… reddish undertone which isnt necessarily bad.. but something to note) Coco & Eve (similar to bondi sands… i like it but the price is double and the color pay off isnt the same with how long i leave it on.. i want this process to be as fast as possible.. plus its not marketed as an express tan but says you can shower in 2 hours at earliest) Bondi Sands technocolor or whatever they came out with in the last 2 years… (not a fan.. fades fast.. i tried the green and violet.. not a lot of color payout) If you're having issues.. here is some trouble shooting for ANY self tanner from a self tanning MASTER… DO NOT put it on right after showering.. and DEF NOT right after exfoliating.. your skin pH is not ideal after showering for several hours. DO NOT use soap or loofah when you wash off color guard at first shower. Unless you left it on all night long. I also keep the water warm… but NOT hot! And short! Get in and get out! DO NOT freak out and think it didnt work when the color guard washes off.. trust the process. It still has to develop. It says 1 hour express meaning you can shower after 1 hour. Pro Tip - carefully take a qtip with a tiny drop of water (not saturated) to any dark spots you have after applying as some are dry and will absorb more and become even darker. I feel this camofluges dark spots to darken the skin around them but not the spots! Use lotion daily.. including after your first shower. Use a lotion that DOESNT contain mineral oil.. alcohol.. petroleum.. THESE FADE YOUR TAN FASTER!!! Also acids.. I love acids.. but they fade your tan bc they exfoliate. Anyways.. sorry for long review.. on a road trip and bored.
