bondi sands ultra dark

Some Ultra Dark foams are coconut-scented; others are offered unscented / with no added fragrance.

The Ultra Express option is designed to develop into a deep glow in about 1 hour and can be washed off then. The regular Ultra Dark foam can also be rinsed after 1 hour but may be left on for up to 6 hours for a darker, longer-lasting result; the product notes reapplying 30 minutes after initial application for the deepest result.

They’re described as suitable for a range of skin tones but are specifically noted as fitting medium-to-deep skin tones and for experienced self-tanners.

Start with clean, exfoliated, moisturizer-free skin. Apply the foam to a tanning mitt and use long, even sweeping motions to cover skin. Allow the guide colour to develop—you can rinse after 1 hour for a quick result or leave the foam up to 6 hours for a darker tan—and then rinse off according to the product timing.

Product details list fast-drying and fast-absorbing properties. Reviews note some guide-colour transfer or staining before rinsing, while others report minimal transfer once the product has fully dried.

Reviewers report varied longevity: many see about a week of wear, while some find the tan fades sooner after a few showers.
