Everyday Gradual Tanning Milk | Long-Lasting, Tanning Body Moisturizer Enriched With Aloe Vera and Vitamin E for Glowing Skin

I was not sure about this tanning lotion but I gave it a solid try. First off, I have 2 mitts. One small one for my face and one large mitt for the rest of my body. I put some lotion on beforehand to make the process smoother. Out of the bottle, the smell was not overbearing..not a tanning smell per say, just like clay or dirt smell, BUT faint. And it will go away fast. It takes a coat or 2 to see light to medium results. I have fair skin and freckles, so one coat looked like I was out in the sun all day and got a tiny tan. 2 coats and it looked like I am tanning. The color is gradual, no streaks. But you might need to put more on the legs. Other tanning products, you can see results right away, but leaves residue on your hands. I did not find a lot of residue on my finger or hands afterwards. I would recommend this product if you have a weekend and some patience to get the right amount of color for your skin tone. But if you prefer a really dark tan, this might not be the right product for you. But I love that it doesn't stink, doesn't make me look orange and I don't have streaks. And my semi tan looks like Ive been out in the sun.

(I am kidding/my review is super long.I’m sorry, and I hope you’re ready) I have a VERY olive complexion that gets very tan easily if I sunbathe. This isn’t quite as dramatic of an effect as a day at the beach, BUT it’s a really great substitute for a bunch of sun damage (I have hyperpigmentation AND acne scars, that are being treated; plus I’m over 35(I’m 36) *Disclaimer * I’ve already used multiple parentheses........ this is gonna be, well long ( like who writes their whole rout... nope not gonna do it again in the disclaimer too! So turn back now if you don’t care about how I use this* Its really easy to apply and I use it on my entire body; except my chest, face, and neck. (On those areas, I use a clear serum that gets mixed with my moisturizer by Tanologist.) The only downside is that for some reason, it dries out my skin (even though it’s marketed as a moisturizer.The audacity is palpable!). I just use my regular moisturizer in the mornings when I do this because I always use this product at night because the smell makes me want to cocoon away from everyone (it doesn’t smell great, but I deal with it). I don’t mind the smell too much, but it does make my fluffy, rainbow, tie dye, robe smell (not my pjs or my clothing the next day). I just spritz some body splash or perfume on my skin and I’m good to go. I work with kids, (they smell worse than me) and I’m always washing my hands or using sanitizer/rubbing alcohol. So it’s durability is impressive. It performs well against: mud, getting wet all the time (Those children smell worse than me because of it! And they don’t even know! dirty children......so dirty 🤦🏽‍♀️ 😪😷), and general life Showering daily (Mostly, if I’m being totally honest), shaving once a week (again when necessary), or even maybe 🤔, 2 times a week It lasts a few days (2-3). So, on the weeks that I am motivated and/or have an event, I use this at most 3 days in the week and I am very pleased with the results! I have tried several different methods, and several different brands; but this is so easy. It absorbs/dries in no time (2-3) minutes. Then, I just wash my hands, carefully getting a few key areas: fingers, palms, wrists and knuckles. I leave the majority of the top of my hand alone, put on my pjs and I’m done (It is the exact same amount of steps. I could care less about having dry skin to sleep. It impedes nothing that happens in beds.) I do to go to bed right away my sheets aren’t stained, And the price is great, (even at full price). The bottle is only half empty after a month and a half of regular use; twice a week for most weeks of the past month (3 times a week a few times throughout, when I had to for a special occasion, or something *wink *wink*, like that). It’s (basically) $14 to be tan for almost 3 months. That’s a good deal to me.

This product is almost perfect! I have fair skin and don’t tan naturally at all. I’m not trying to look tan, but wanted to feel better about my everyday skin tone. When it comes to color, this worked really well. After one nights use, I can tell I have a warmer tint to skin tone. I used it on my body and face too. I don’t see any streaks. I can see it being very buildable. BUT the smell is strange. I am a sensitive smeller. When I first smelt it out of the bottle I barely could smell a thing. I thought,” oh this isn’t bad at all!” But then as I used it, I found that it smelt like plastic. It became overwhelming at night as I tossed and turned in bed I could smell this strange, bathing in plastic smell. In the morning I had to change my pjs right away bc they had sucked up the smell. I think I am going to keep this product because I found the color to be natural and easy to use and hopefully I’ll just have to deal with the smell every once in a while since I won’t be using it every day.

This is hands down my favorite self tanning product! It’s odd to me that several mention the scent because I’m one who absolutely hates the dha self tan “biscuit” odor. ALL dha based tanning products produce that scent as they develop, but somehow this one is MUCH milder than any other I’ve tried. Most of the time- I can’t smell it at all. The scent you smell at application is cocoa butter and it doesn’t bother me at all. It goes away once it dries down. I also love the fact that there isn’t a color guide in this lotion. Color guides tend to stain clothing and sheets and I look for products without the added dyes/bronzers. I’ve never had this look streaky at all! Most importantly - this gives the most realistic looking tan I’ve found! I am extremely pale and it’s difficult to find sunless tanners that actually look natural on me. I apply this like a regular lotion, but I put on a pretty heavy layer and spend a long time rubbing it in. I wash my hands well and then I use an old large fluffy makeup brush to apply it to my face, hands and feet using circular motions. It dries quickly and this is the only self tanner I’ve found that I can actually leave the house wearing. I don’t have to shower a few hours later to remove a color guide or to get rid of the self tan odor. In the photo- I included my palm and wrist to show just how pale I am naturally. This was taken after 3 days of using the Bondi Sands gradual tanning milk. I get amazing results with this stuff! I have a full backup bottle on hand because it’s quickly become my favorite self tanner!

Bondi Sands Tanning Milk lotion is moisturizing and lightweight, good for warm/hot weather. It takes a few minutes to dry and absorb, but that's been my experience with all self-tanning lotions. Not a big deal. The tanning feature is minimal, but this product does give a nice glow, yes. Tends to turn a bit yellowish around my ankles, but I have a basic medium tan (and a lot of freckles), so all in all, the color is good. The bottle is big! A lot of lotion in there, and the pump works well. SO why only 3 stars - and the reason I won't purchase this lotion again? THE STINK! Seriously, I like nicely-scented lotions and I'm fine with the "tanning product" scent that some people complain about when it comes to self-tanners. But Bondi Sands, I don't know...I'm wondering if the product is old or ??? When I use it I can't take deep breaths, it smells so ick. Not a self-tanning scent, not just a "fragrance I don't care for." The smell is terrible, really like something isn't right with the product. I truly hope the manufacturer sees these reviews and changes something. I would like to use this product again, but no way- not with that revolting moldy-smelling stench.

You can’t go wrong with this self tanner. No harsh lines. Gradual tanning. I am very fair skinned and this makes me look amazing and very natural. You can’t mess it up. I use it on my whole body. It doesn’t rub off on sheets or bedding. You don’t need to shower after you use it. Smells nice. It takes 2 to 3 days to see a difference. Never need to scrub off. Just reapply. After you get to the skin tone you want, you can apply every three days for maintenance. Highly recommend.

It gives great color, is easy to apply and dries quickly. My fiance says I smell like a “Willy Wonka chocolate factory” (not in a good way) because it smells like artificial chocolate but I don’t mind the smell and the results are worth it.

It’s a good gradual tanner, this is my legs after 5 days, applying daily. I haven’t noticed any streaks or dark spots. I rub it in with my hands and wash them when I’m finished. I did skip two days and noticed on day two of skipping that it was starting to fade. I also feel like the lotion goes pretty fast. I’ve almost used half of the bottle after using it for 7 times. Maybe I’m just using two much, but I do apply it all over my body. The smell is a strong cocoa butter smell, but it does fade through the day. If you’re sensitive to fragrance, I would pass. It also dries very quickly. I haven’t noticed any transfer on my clothes. I also purchased a tanology brush to apply the product to my hands and feet, and they look great, not orange at all. Overall, I’d purchase again.

Ho aspettato un po’ prima di fare questa recensione perché volevo vedere bene il risultato nel tempo. Premetto che è la mia primissima volta in assoluto con un autoabbronzante, quindi ho scelto di andare su questo graduale di Bondi Sands proprio perché avevo il terrore di ritrovarmi piena di macchie o con quel brutto effetto arancione "finto". Ragazze, il risultato è davvero super naturale! Dona un colorito leggero e dorato, niente di esagerato, serve proprio a ridare un po' di vita alla pelle. Essendo graduale, dopo la prima applicazione non si nota praticamente nulla, ma verso la terza o quarta sera si inizia a vedere la magia! Io l'ho messo per quattro sere di fila e la mia pelle, che di base è chiarissima, adesso ha un colore bellissimo e sano, sembra quasi di essere tornati da un fine settimana al mare usando la protezione 50! Nelle foto vi ho allegato i risultati del prima e dopo (al giorno quattro), sia sotto la luce diretta del sole sia in una stanza luminosa, così potete vedere la differenza reale. Una cosa che mi ha stupita tantissimo riguarda le mie mani: di mio tendono sempre ad essere un po' rossastre o violacee, ma usando questo latte hanno preso un colorito uniforme e sano, nascondendo del tutto quel sottotono! Per l'applicazione, l'ho steso sia con il guanto che senza. Se lo usate a mani nude, mi raccomando: lavate subito i palmi con il sapone appena finite, altrimenti vi rimane tutto il colore lì! Riguardo allo scrub, secondo me non serve farlo ogni volta: basta una volta alla settimana per togliere il colore vecchio e rifare la base da zero. Per il mantenimento, l’ideale è applicarlo tutte le sere per la prima settimana (per costruire il colore) e poi bastano circa due volte a settimana per mantenerlo. Piccola nota sul viso: avendo la pelle molto sensibile ed essendo io sempre un po' paurosa con i prodotti nuovi, ho preferito non metterlo sul viso e ho comprato le gocce autoabbronzanti sempre di Bondi Sands specifiche per quella zona, che testerò a breve! Infine, volevo rassicurarvi su una cosa: il flacone mi è arrivato dentro la scatola Amazon ma completamente senza imballo di plastica o cellophane intorno. C'era solo del nastro adesivo Amazon sul tappo per tenerlo chiuso. All'inizio mi è sembrato strano, ma mi sono informata e ho scoperto che il brand fa così per usare meno plastica usa e getta, quindi andate tranquille, è normalissimo e il prodotto è originale! Insomma, sono super soddisfatta perché cercavo proprio un effetto reale, delicato e senza esagerazioni. Inoltre, non è tossico (pensate che si può usare anche in gravidanza!) e sicuramente è più consigliato di stare ore e ore sotto il sole con super abbronzanti senza protezione solare o lampade (lo consigliano anche i dermatologi!) Consigliatissimo! Voto: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best tanning milk product I've tried! Absorbs and dries quickly without leaving a sticky feeling to the skin. Noticeable results after just a couple of days and it provides a beautiful, natural glow. Yes, it still has a hint of that fake tanner smell, however, it's mostly masked with a chocolatey pleasant smell. Its a strong smell! But a good one.

Teint parfait mais attention de bien se laver les mains comme tous les auto-brozant celui là fonctionne particulièrement bien

Nowhere near as good as St Tropez gradual tan. This is pale and does not show up on first application unlike St Tropez GT. Disappointed I'd read it was good. Failed to impress.

Perfecto para mantenerse un poco bronceado todo el año
