Bondi Sands Self Tanning Lotion – Light / Medium 200 ml

Why you’ll love it

Give your skin that sun-kissed glow — without stepping into the sun. This Bondi Sands Self Tanning Lotion (Light/Medium) is your reliable go-to for a natural, even tan that builds gradually. Ideal for those who want control over colour depth without risk of going orange.

What it does

• Builds an even, natural tan — The light/medium formula gives you a warm golden tint you can manage gradually (ideal if you’re fairer or cautious).

• Hydrates and cares for skin — Enriched with aloe vera, it helps moisturise and keep your skin soft.

• Easy, streak-free application — Glides smoothly over skin, giving you time to buff and blend.

• Long-wearing — Fade-resistant when you maintain with light exfoliation and moisturising.

How to use it (do this for a smooth finish)

1. Prep: The day before, exfoliate, shave/wax, and moisturise dry spots (knees, ankles, elbows).

2. Apply: Use a tanning mitt (strongly recommended) and apply lotion in sweeping motions to body. Save a bit on mitt for hands, feet, wrists.

3. Develop: Leave on 4–6 hours (or overnight for a deeper glow). Don’t shower until the time is up.

4. Top-up: For more intensity, apply a light second layer 30 minutes after the first.

5. Maintain: Moisturise daily and exfoliate lightly every few days to keep the tan even.

Tip: Use a gentle body wash and avoid strong exfoliants — you don’t want to strip your fresh tan too soon.

Sensory & texture details

You’ll find the texture to be light and creamy — it spreads easily without dragging. The fragrance is soft and reminds you of coconut (not heavy or overpowering). As the tan develops, you won’t smell that classic “fake tan biscuit” smell so intensely — it’s muted and clean, thanks to the aloe vera and careful formulation.

Variant / packaging notes

This comes in a 200 ml lotion format, with a flip-top cap that’s easy to open in a humid bathroom. (No pump, but the bottle shape sits nicely in your hand when dispensing onto the mitt.)
