Q: How long does the coconut scent last? I'm not crazy about smelling like coconut all day.
submitted by juniper - 2 years ago
A: I find it lasts pretty much until your first shower. The only soap that effectively gets rid of the self tan smell for me is dove original bar soap
submitted bymag - 2 years ago
A: Our Self-Tanning Foam is infused with our Iconic Coconut scent, however, once the color guide has been rinsed, this scent will naturally fade.

Q: How long are people keeping it on before showering? Bottle mentions up to 6 hours for longer lasting darker tan but what’s the minimum?
submitted by Spencer - 2 years ago
A: The bottle says minimum one hour, but i would really recommend waiting at least 6 hours before showering with this formula. If time is of the essence and you don’t have 6 hours to let it develop, i would recommend going with the 1 hour express formula instead of this one!
submitted bymag - 2 years ago
A: It says minimum is one hour

Q: Do I have to use a mitt to put it on
submitted by Jesica - 26 days ago
A: Hi! It's optional, but it is easier! Plus, the Mitt is a must-have to keep your hands stain-free and for a flawless, streak-free finish.

Q: Love this product! Is there any problem with sleeping in it and leaving on for over 8 hours? 24 hours?
submitted by Jj - 2 months ago
A: Hi! While classic Self Tanners take 6–8 hours. Leaving it on longer can give a richer glow but avoid exceeding 12 hours to prevent overly dark or uneven results.

Q: can i put this on my face or will my face be darker than the rest of my body because my other tanner did that?
submitted by katarina - 4 months ago
A: Hello! All Bondi Sands products can be used on the face, however, being a generally sensitive area, it’s important to patch test first. We also have products that are dedicated to face like the self tan drops!

Q: I ordered this online. It arrived with no sort of seal. Is this normal?
submitted by Karly - 4 months ago
A: Thanks for reaching out! Our Self Tanning Foam bottles are designed with a protective sticker seal around the cap/nozzle area. If your product arrived without this seal or appeared damaged, we recommend contacting Target Guest Services for assistance with a replacement or refund.

Q: How does reapplication work? Ive seen reviews showing what looks like it flaking off but nothing else about what it is like fading.
submitted by auttot - 5 months ago
A: Hi! We recommend the Everyday Gradual Tanning Lotion to prolong/maintain your sunless tan in between applications. For re-application, we recommend the Self Tan Eraser, which is a quick removal product. Starting from clean, moisturizer-free, exfoliated skin will provide the best results.

Q: Does it come with a mitt to apply it or is there something else you can use to blend it in?
submitted by KTB - 5 months ago
A: Hi! Each product is sold separately, we highly recommend the Bondi Sands Application Mitt for a streak-free, flawless application.

Q: How many shades/levels darker does each make you?
submitted by Turtle - 9 months ago
A: Once applied, you can wash skin after just 1 hour, but for a deeper, longer lasting tan, leave on for up to 8 hours. Results vary based on the how long you leave on the product on. For a deeper glow, we recommend letting your tan develop for 6-8 hours.
submitted byBondi Sands - 6 months ago
Brand expert
Q: How long does it typically last?
submitted by How long does it last - 9 months ago
A: Our Self Tanning Foams should last up to a week, with all the right aftercare. We’d recommend topping up with a selected product from our Gradual range if you’re noticing that your glow is starting to fade.

The best store bought Ive found
I bought this self tanner to try and save money. It’s the best store bought one I’ve tried and I’ve tried them all. Color is natural. Once you shower color doesn’t get on clothes like the others, noticeably less. I’m no longer afraid to wear white.

Cons: it will definitely make you turn green, bleed on your clothes/ sheets & doesn’t dry well. Pro: Its the longest lasting tanner ever! Seriously. Mixed with a more bronze tanning moose, you will get the perfect color that lasts a long time!! I’ve probably bought it over 30 times. Definitely use baby powder to dry it down before bed.

Lovely
Applies very well using the mitt. The tan develops into a lovely golden colour which isn’t too extreme. It lasts about a week before it starts to fade.

Great tan for a great price!
I waited a long time to finally use this product because I was scared it would make me orange, as most self tanning products do. I am very impressed with how my tan turned out. I left it on overnight and woke up with a gorgeous very natural looking tan. It’s not too dark but if you want it darker you can follow the instructions and apply a second layer after 30 minutes. The smell is not that great, typical self tanner scent but it’s worth it in my opinion. Just give yourself a day to bask in the stink until you can use soap. I rinsed with just water in the morning and then waited 24 after the initial application to use soap.

Quick tan that seems to last.
Pretty quick “tan” but did not like the fact that it left color on my clothes. Alder application, I let dry for 10 minutes before dressing, but still had residue on my shirt and pants.

Very forgiving
My go-to tanning product. Very forgiving when applied with a mitt. Only downsides are that it transfers onto bed sheets (washes out though), and I don’t prefer the wrong coconut scent. Other than that, it gives a really great tan. Comparable to spray tans I’ve gotten in the past.

Best tanning foam I’ve found yet. Spreads evenly, no streaks or patches. Also lasted longer than usual self tans do. Used with the Eco Tools self tanning mit. Will def buy again.

Transference is an issue!
Really enjoyed the shade of brown that it achieved on my skin, but terrible transference. On clothes, bed sheets, well after application. Not happy about that and will not purchase again.

Easy to apply with a glove that I also purchased. So natural looking and only need to apply small amounts! I’m so sold on this product!
