Express Self Tanning Foam, Lightweight, Fragrance Free Self-Tanner for an Even, Streak-Free Tan, 6.76 fl oz

The pictures speak for themselves. The one at school is no-tan. The shirtless one is me documenting how it fades (shoulders first!) and the last two are of it in action. I didn't feel orange and nobody commented on it being a fake tan. Take note, it looks AMAZING after you first put it on and it dries, but that is just so you can make sure not to miss a spot. That version of the tan isn't sustainable and smudges and runs readily. Happily, it also looks great after showering. I am just a pasty Danish boy with Italian undertones but I felt as though I was full blown Mediterranean when I was diligently using this. Of course, it requires exfoliating and regular upkeep, but it was sustainable for about 5 days or so and that's all I needed. If you don't have roommates the product would be even better (for me) because I've found sitting around without clothes on while it dries makes it impractical.

Finally! I highly recommend. This formula of ultra dark is stronger and faster acting than previous foams. I don't use applicator gloves and my hands become discolored immediately but I'm able to remove the stains using my own concoction. NO OTHER PRODUCT holds a candle to Bondi Sands.

I’m a seasoned self tanner. My philosophy? Tanned “troubled areas” look better than pale “troubled areas”, at least on me. I’ve always had two favorite brands, one being bondi sands. While I don’t like to complain, I think it is fair to give others an honest review for this particular product. I’ve wanted to try this product for months and saw it on sale during July Prime Days and decided it was time. I prepped my skin as suggested, and as I always do, and then when the time came, I applied the mousse. I waited the hour as instructed on the bottle, as it’s an “ultra express”, to rinse the product off. No soap, just a rinse and pat dry. All of the product came off during the rinse. Nothing developed as the bottle said it should. No glorious tan. No tan at all!! I’m just as pale 24 hours after I applied it as I was before applying the product. I can’t even confirm that the product does not streak since it all rinsed off without a hint of color on my skin. To say that I am highly disappointed in the product is an understatement. It was a waste of money, time, and energy that I will not get back and the product did not give me any type of tan that I wanted for an event the following day. I don’t recommend this particular bondi sands product at all.

Okay so I have been using this product for about four months now exclusively and think I am finally able to write an accurate review. So I usually go to Walmart or wherever to buy this in person but decided to buy one off of Amazon because I was in a bind and couldn’t find them at a local store. All of the ones from my local stores worked so well. I’ve done the ultra dark and ultra dark express both leaving them on overnight. Even if you get the express I recommend leaving it on for at least four hours because washing it off after and hour or two doesn’t do much. I have sensitive skin when it came to other self tanning products I would get red rashy and my skin would crack on my legs. This product doesn’t do that thankfully! You can use a makeup brush, mitt, nitrile gloves, microfiber towel, or a beauty blender to apply it. I personally use nitrile gloves leave it on for about 30 seconds and then go over it with a dry beauty blender in upwards motions and it looks perfect. I’ve gotten lazy before and left streaks and when I washed it off there was no visible streaks. I believe this product is pretty foolproof. With that being said the one I bought off of here when I used it, I had huge blotches of red color and other huge areas of green. Which left my very confused…. I shook it up like crazy and mixed it with what was left of my other bottle from Walmart and mixed like crazy again. Let it sit for an hour then applied it and it was well good but not great. So I’d say the product itself is amazing but I’d try to find it locally if possible :) I don’t put it on my face usually but if I do I wait till I’m about to hop in the shower and put it on 10 min before hand. I use the squeeze bottle of aquaphor on my elbows hands feet and knees. Heavy on my feet and elbows where I’m more dry and what is left over on my hands and knees. When I apply the product to my feet and hands I use whatever is left over on the beauty blender.

Love this. Had a wedding and needed some color for strapless dress. Did exactly what it’s intended. No terrible smell either

Quick drying, easy application, and natural looking without any "orange" tone.

This tanning foam goes on smoothly and blends really well, even for beginners. It develops into a nice, natural-looking color without looking orange or streaky. I like that it works quickly and dries fast so you're not sticky all day. Overall, a great self-tanner if you want quick, even results.

OK, I like this product, but I don’t love it. Here’s why: It’s definitely not ultra express. If you only leave it on an hour or so it will wash right off in the shower. However, I always tan at night and sleep in my tanner. This is what I did with this product and just rinsed off with just water in the morning and my tan was a gorgeous color! This gives one of the best bronze tan colors I’ve ever seen and I’ve used a lot of self tanning products. I also love that it is one of the only non-toxic self tanners i have found. So for that, I give it three stars. I would note that while the tan is beautiful, it only lasts about 2 to 3 showers and then it’s gone. Again I like this product, but I don’t love it. I will keep it when I need it in a bind because it will give you a nice tan for say the weekend but then you’ll have to reapply two or three days later. Also, make sure to exfoliate and moisturize beforehand, or you will have dry patches everywhere.
