With warmer weather encouraging more skin exposure, a reliable fake tan can boost confidence. Bondi Sands Tanning Foam, now reduced to £11 on Amazon from £17.49, offers a 37% saving. Users describe it as 'perfection in every spray' and a 'game changer'.
How to Apply the Tanning Foam
The foam should be applied to freshly exfoliated, moisturiser-free skin. Using a mitt, apply in long sweeping motions. Once touch dry, you can dress, but allow six hours for the tan to develop. The golden bronze shade suits most skin tones. Bondi Sands states the foam is lightweight, transfer resistant, and requires no washing off.
Alternative Tanning Products
Alternatives include Coco & Eve Sunny Honey Bali Bronzing Foam Medium 200ml (£20.80, was £26 at LookFantastic), which has a fruity mango and guava scent and develops in two hours but needs showering off. For instant wash-off colour, St Tropez Instant Glow Body Bronzer Medium 100ml is reduced from £15 to £10 at Boots.
Customer Reviews Rave About Bondi Sands
The tanning foam has earned 70% five-star ratings from 6,955 global reviews on Amazon. One customer said: 'First class. What can you say...perfection in every spray.' Another wrote: 'Fantastic, the best I have used. No streaks, no orange just a perfect colour and easy to apply.' A third commented: 'Golden goddess. Best tanner.'
One reviewer praised the smell and non-sticky formula: 'Wow. I have used most tans on the market over the years from the top end and down. Bought this tan and it’s honestly a game changer. Really well priced but wow! I was rushed and it went on really easily not sticky and had a nice smell! Not a mark or patch the next day - hands were great and over the week has just evenly faded but not that quickly given how many showers I’ve had! So easy and just amazing - I will not now buy anything else! Fantastic!'
Another reviewer, though impressed, deducted a star due to a skin reaction: 'Great tan, it looks real but I had a slight reaction, my skin had some spots. I do have sensitive skin but usually ok with tan products - pity because I loved the colour and everyone was asking where I had been on holiday.'
Despite this, another user said: 'Looks and smells great. I've used many different fake tan products and had many different results. I've used Bondi every day before and it always came out looking natural looking not orange. I was hesitant at first as I thought this would be dark as I saw on a review. However I came out a beautiful dark gold as though I'd been away for a good solid 2 weeks - that was the application colour so before I had my shower. It has a coconut tropical scent so you feel like you've been on holiday. Very impressed and would probably use this as my go to from now on. I am fair skinned with yellow undertones and live in north of Scotland so barely see sunshine and I didn't find it dark, I'd say it was more medium.'
