How to use Bondi Sands Ultra Dark Self Tanning Foam ( With Pictures)

Bondi Sands have just released two new products just in time for spring. Their Bondi Sands Ultra Dark Self Tanning Foam and a new Gradual Tanning Foam. Perfect if you need some new tanning products to bump up your colour – any time of year.

Bondi Sands ultra dark now available in store

Choose the right tan for your skin.

Don’t you hate it when you invest in skincare, makeup or tanning products and they suck! I have sensitive skin and in my early 20’s I had a cupboard full of barely used products that I “Just wasn’t that into”. They would either leave me dry, itchy or in the case of some older fake tans, smelling like a carrot. This is why I love YouTube and Instagram for checking out products before I buy. I can usually find how to videos, colour swatches and read about other’s first-hand experiences with a product. I have included some in this blog so you can see the new Ultra Dark tan in action.

You can find before and after pics of the Bondi Sands Ultra Dark Self Tanning Foam here.

As you can see from the pictures above this tan gives ULTRA dark results so you want to make sure you put it on properly. Using a fake tanning mitt goes a long way to avoid those telltale signs your tan is fake on your hands and nails. And prepping your skin will help you create the perfect smooth canvas for tanning. Here is a video from the Tanning Experts at Bondi Sands walking you through an application of this new Ultra Dark Tan so you can see it in action.

Want to know where to buy it? You can find it in our online store’s self tanning section. You will also find the other shades there including regular dark and light medium.
