Bondi Sands Aero Self Tanning Foam | Lightweight + Fast-Drying Aerosol Formula Gives Skin a Hydrated, Long-Lasting Bronzed Glow | 7.61 Oz/225 mL

Update:1. Applying a second layer 30 mins later does achieve a dark tan.2. For me, it faded nicely except for on my wrists and toes. Nothing crazy and not a single person ever mentioned they noticed it. But I knew it was happening. Lol I had 2 patches on my thighs that held on to color but I also didnt exfoliate my thighs b4 I applied the product originally so that may be why that happened.3. It does dry quickly but my skin felt a little tacky afterwards. I just applied Bondi Sands Pure Gradual tanner and I will say that it dried much quicker AND my skin feels so soft and moisturized. I decided to try the gradual tanner bc this product requires you to wear the product for 6 hrs. I need a tanner I can apply and then leave for work and not look like I'm turning into the hulk. Lol With that said, I get a way darker tan with this product vs the Pure Gradula Tanner.All in all, I still recommend this product. Overall, it does what it claims it will do. The color was beautiful. The fade, in general, was nice with minimal patching. 8/10 recommend it...............................I'm new to the self tanning world so I did a lot of research and watched a lot of reviews as well as a lot of tips and tricks to prevent streaking and patching. With that said, this being my first time using not only this product, but a self tanner in general, I AM AMAZED! I wore it for 3 hrs on my face and a full 18.5 hrs (while I was at work).Scent: Drfinitely coconut. After an hour, it smelled a little odd, but nothing horrendous. That faded after wearing it for about 3 hrs or so.Consistency: thin, foam, easy to apply... however it does dry rather quickly so I suggest working in small sections.Color: on application, it definitely, DEFINITELY has a green hue and you can definitely tell where you have put the product. That green hue faded over the first 4.5 hrs and I was able to go to work with it on. This product is supposed to be ultra dark. However, with one application, you probably wont get that deep, dark color that I know many girls like for the summer. But the product does say that if you want that deep dark color, you can apply a second coat after 30 mins of your first application. With that said, one application did achieve a beautiful, dark, sunkissed color to my skin.Transfer: it does transfer onto fabrics a little, but nothing so major that I was alarmed by it.

i am (sort of) new to fake tan. i am 23 and used to use self tanner my freshman year of high school, so almost 10 years ago. it was patchy, orange and super hard to apply but man, i didn’t know self tanner advanced this much since then! i am armenian with VERY fair/light skin with pink undertones. my breaking point with tanning outdoors was getting all dressed up in a bikini, going to the pool to tan, only to leave in 20 minutes because i would burn and it would take all summer for me to get a slight tan just for it to fade in the winter. on top of that, i develop freckles, which everyone knows is the first sign that i could end up with skin cancer at some point in my life if i keep tanning outdoors. also, AGING lol! i thought about going back to self tan but i just didnt want to be orange and deal with streaks although i apply it perfectly(i was using jergens back then). let me tell you- i used bondi sands aero ultra dark with their mit. i showered, exfoliated with an exfoliating mit and sugar scrub, shaved and lotioned my dry spots (elbows, knees, ankles and neck) and waited about an hour for my pores to close to apply. i started with my inner arm working outwards to my elbow, did that side of my chest, shoulders and neck, switched to the other arm then did my shin area working up to my thighs and bun (so my stomach doesn’t crease on my thighs) and then did my fingers and toes with a tanning brush on amazon. it smells coconut and like i’m at a beach. i waited about 30 minutes to put clothes on(it was still a little tacky but ehh i didn’t care because it looked dry and felt like it was clinging to my skin) IT DOES APPLY GREEN- that’s because it develops with an olive undertone. the only thing with this tan is it isn’t the type of tan you can put on and walk outside with unless you don’t mind looking green haha. i just did it at 8 pm and washed it off 7 am when i woke up. i slept with silk PJS (long sleeve black ones from amazon) and man! i rinsed off this morning with lukewarm water and slightly BARELY glazing my hand over parts i tanned and IM LEFT WITH THE PERFECT, OLIVE TONE TAN!! i wish all of u amazon besties could see it in real life, it looks so damn good and darker in real life. it looks like i went tanning for a year straight. it looks so freakin natural!!! i am so excited. i have worn it for 6 days and since i’m so fair, it looks freshly applied and barely faded. i plan to reapply every week! it fades evenly and not patchy! just make sure you moisturize after your shower and in the morning. also, there were a couple spots i applied a little streaky (my fault because it was my first time in forever self tanning) and this tan is SO forgiving. when i showered, it all evened out and looks flawless. also, my boyfriend helped me with my back because i have a deeper arch in my back and a deep spine haha i tried to get it myself but was struggling. i am so happy i found something that works, now brb i gotta buy new makeup to match my tan lol!!

Update: First off do not listen to the negative reviews. These people are not using the product correctly. When you first apply it, it will not at all look like the end result. You will look green and and goes into your pores etc. But that is why I apply this at night and leave on for the 6 hours minimum like the instructions say so then I wash off!! I will say I found that I don’t like applying this to my face I use another product for my face.So I never write reviews. But this one deserves a 5 star review. I have tried many many self tanners. Not one of them looks as natural as this one does. They always end up leaving you orange, streaky, and or blotchy. I can gladly say I have no streaks no blotches. It’s blends really well. I did buy the light/medium as my skin is lighter. I believe this is the perfect shade for me for winter to give me a nice glow. I may try the dark in the summer to achieve a darker tan. But if your looking for more natural I would go with the light/medium. Also make sure you follow all the directions. This is what I did and found it to work really well. I applied the night before with a mitt. Key note please please apply with a mitt! I applied to my whole body allowed it to dry maybe 5 minutes while I was getting ready for bed. I then put black sweats/ long sleeve on over night to ensure it wouldn’t go on my sheets. But I didn’t notice any transfer to the sheets. Then in the morning I took my shower to wash it off. This is what the directions state “leave on for atleast 6 hours then wash off”. Don’t forget this important step. My favorite thing about this tanner is the fact that it has a green/olive hue to it. It’s not orange at all. So do me a favor if your on the fence on buying this just do it you will thank me later.
