Bondi Sands Ultra Express Self Tanning Foam

Most Helpful Positive Review

Great so far!

So far so good! I purchased this from Ulta last week and just used this for the first time yesterday early evening. Did all my usual prep and then applied the tanner after applying barrier cream to hands, wrists, elbows, knees, ankles, and feet. It was easy to apply and definitely dries quickly, so ...this tanner isn't for beginners. I'm also fairly skinned but an avid tanner which is why I gave this one a go. I double coated everything except my hands, feet, and legs since my legs usually turn out darker than the rest of me, as do my hands and feet. I rinsed at the one hour mark and I didn't have much color at all left, but I figured it would keep developing and I was right! I woke up with a beautiful tan! If this wears well and scrubs off easily, this will get 5 stars and forever be my go-to so I don't have to sleep in tanner or spend most of a day marinating in it! I definitely think if you want to be tan same-day, you should apply in the morning so you're tan by evening because as I said, when I first rinsed there was minimal color left behind at that point. Other than that, I'm super pleased with the color payoff this morning and it's not streaky and my hands and feet look great! I also washed my hands with soap at the one hour mark to be safe and I'm glad I did. I think if I hadn't they'd be too dark. Next time I'll double coat my legs I think since they didn't get as dark as I thought they would but they still have great color.
