Bondi SandsLiquid Gold Self Tanning Dry Oil | Hydrating, Quick Drying, Tanning Dry-Oil for a Natural, Golden Look | 5.07 oz/150 mL

I use this year-round. In the summer, I use more sprays per section of my body than I do in the winter to give me a darker color. I like I how can control the depth of the color, and it's always beautiful and natural looking whether it's lighter or darker. It leans on the olive side with a slight golden undertone, and is not orange at all. No need to wash it off after 8 hours either, which is much more convenient for me. I apply it at night with a tanning mitt after my shower, I go to bed in it (it doesn't transfer on anything) and I wear it the next day as it continues to develop. Slight self-tanner smell but nothing noticeable to other people. Lasts a little under a week for me, so I usually do it twice a week.Super fast and easy application, normally takes me about 10 minutes. Very convenient for us busy girls. I'll spray it directly on my skin (so like 4 sprays on each arm) and just apply it in sections and rub it in per body part. I use the leftover product on the mitt to get my hands and feet. I don't use lotion anywhere beforehand, I just gently blot off more dry areas of my skin with a wet wipe after I've applied the tanner (so for me that's my ankles, tops of toes, knuckles, in between fingers, sides of my hands to give that blended ombre effect, and elbows). You can apply it on your face and ears with a kabuki brush (spray directly on the brush one spray at a time, then rub it in and spray more if necessary) or you can apply it with the mitt. I spray it directly on the mitt for hard to reach areas like my back and rub it in sections. I've tried other brands and different formulas (foam, water, whipped) and this one is by far my favorite. Also, if you have sensitive skin, this is the least likely brand and formulation to irritate it. I get eczema sometimes on my arms, and out of all the self-tanners I've tried, this works the best for that with the least side effects.***Would not recommend if you're new to self-tanning though!! If you're new, I'd start with an Aero whipped formula (it's very olive colored) and then you can figure out which areas of your body the tanner clings to the most. Once you master the application of that, switch to this one because there's no transfer and no wash off required!! And Aero can be drying and irritating to your skin if you use it for too long

I am to white for this tanning lotion. It was to noticeable on me . It would be good for someone who wants to keep their tan going longer.

Is there a perfect self tanner out there no. This one is pretty close. I always need simple easy and with minimal prep. I don't have a lot of time. This is easy to apply and looks very pretty once developed. Not that weird fakey look. It is buildable too. So that is an added bonus. You still have to do the basics to prep for a good self tan. You have to be careful applying in the areas that get orangey. You know what they are. When it is wearing off it does the typical self tan blotchy BUT it is minimal compared to others I have tried. I will continue to buy and use this. Very happy customer.

I have recently been searching for the perfect self tanner & I feel I have tried nearly all of them. This 1 has left me with THE most beautiful, bronzey tan without being streaky, orangey or patchy! I am def impressed!!! Its so easy to use as it is a spray & it distributes evenly. I did put coconut oil on my knees, feet, ankles, toes, hands, & wrists and used a mit to apply. I used a brush for the hands and feet and face. It does happen to be a tad bit sticky but it’s not bad at all. I just threw on an old oversized t shirt and rinsed in 2 hours. I am normally pasty white! This works way better & faster than any of the high dollar brands I have tried and at $12 it’s only a fraction of the cost! Buy it!!!

Pros- feels great on the skin- oil rubs in and dries easily- beautiful intense colorCons- easy to get that dark build up on knees and elbows- does not fade well- looks orange in extremely pale skinI recommend tanning with Bondi aero express medium. Wait 1-2 days then apply this product. Gives a beautiful golden tan.

Super disappointed that Bondi Sands changed this oil. It still works great, but it’s not clear anymore. I loved the clear formula. I gave this one a try and it sprayed out brown. It applies similarly to the tanning foam so you have to be really careful or it ends up uneven and patchy looking. I also felt like the scent was a little bit different too. I don’t think I’ll buy it again. I’ll probably go back to the tanning milk lotion instead or find another brand with a clear formula.UPDATE: I was WRONG. It turns out this is NOT the correct oil. There was some confusion and Bondi Sands clarified it to me. They let me know this is not the EVERYDAY GRADUAL TANNING OIL. They are currently out of stock. My bad for the mixup as the bottles look similar!

I have tried many many many self tanners. They all have either smelled horrible, transferred to bedding/clothing, streaked horribly, couldn’t tell a difference even after a couple of days. But this BONDI SANDS LIQUID GOLD, is now my absolute favorite! Not only did I start seeing a gorgeous difference on my skin almost right away after it dried (which the dry time was so fast), but it smells amazing, it did not transfer onto my clothing at all! And after day two, to me it starts looking even better and darker! Will definitely stay on my save and subscribe list and will definitely recommend to other fellow self tanners!
