Bondi Sands Everyday Gradual Tanning Milk 375ml | Enriched with Vitamin E | Suitable for Sensitive Skin | Vegan + Cruelty Free | 375ml/13.2 FL Oz

As a fan of Isle Of Paradise, Hyglo body in particular, which has become increasingly difficult to get hold of, I desperately needed a replacement.I am very pale, with cool undertones.I have been researching for an alternative and finally settled on this.It is very gradual.I had to use 3 applications to get the desired colour BUT I actually like this idea.It means that in the cooler months I can be more subtle & warmer months i can build the colour as though tanning naturally ( which i cannot do ! ).It goes on incredibly easy & is dry within 10 mins.It feels incredibly moisturising.The smell is not over powering - in fact it smells like Palmers Cocoa butter. Interestingly the smell actually went after several hours.It would appear as the colour develops, the smell fades.If you have been considering it & not taken the plunge - go for it - i did and have no regrets.I would happily put it on in the morning and go out for the day.I never thought I'd find a product that would replace IOP but dare I say it - I think I have.

Really good. Best gradual tanner I've had. Easy to apply. I will stick with this brand. Love the pump bottle making it much more efficient than a tube.

Colour is subtle. I am a very pale red-head and it looks natural. However, I find the scent of vanilla when it develops very strong. A lot more overpowering than others I've tried.

Ok so I've tried alot of gradual tanners and so far this seems to be the best, the only issue I have with every gradual tanner including this one is that you try to build the tan too dark it does turn orangey, in my experience and from what I've read it's a gradual tanner thing and its inevitable, the tanning creams that you put on and then wash off for an instant tan do tend to give a more natural brown tan and dont tend to lean orange, I think this will always be an issue with the gradual tanners but with that being said the reason this one seems to be the best gradual tanner I've found is because if i have built it up too much it doesnt seem to go as orangey as others plus it seems to do this magic thing whereby if it has gone a tad orange and I then have a shower it tones down the orange and leaves it a more natural looking tan, it's really bizarre, and I'm not talking even washing my skin I mean just letting the water run over my body, it seems to tone down the orange and take it back to a more natural looking tan, i dont know if anybody else has experienced this but it's kinda magic lol.If you apply this once with a decent covering you will wake up the next day with a very natural subtle tan, I does look as though you've just sunbathed, it takes the edge off of of pale skin and leaves you with a slight natural tan, I then reapply every other day or every 2 days, the reason being is like I said if you build this up too quickly just like every other gradual tanner it does turn you slightly orangey, I dont think we will ever escape this with gradual tanners, every single one I've tried nomatter how expensive does turn orangey if its built up too much, what ive found is that gradual tanners should only really be used if you only want a very subtle tan, if you use it in this way and dont overapply to get a deeper tan it will look natural and not orangey, if you want a really deep tan I really think the instant tanners that wash off look ten times more natural, they are more of a brown tan rather than leaning towards orange but that's just my personal experience, if this is used only for a subtle tan it is perfect.The other thing I love about this tanner is that it's the only one I've found that doesnt look bad on dry areas of skin or on my hands and feet, if it isnt overapplied like I said even if you mess up some areas it doesnt look terrible, it doesnt seem to cling to dry areas of skin.The best thing about this gradual tanner though is that it fades naturally like a natural tan would, it doesnt look stupid as its fading, it kinda blends in with your own skin as its fading off so you dont look like you applied tan and its fading with loads of patches, it's kinda undetectable as its fading.The only thing I'm not overlly keen on with this tanner is the scent, it's not grotesque but it's not great either, I swallow of reviews saying it's not bad and it isnt but i find it actually smells stronger and a little worse than some tanners that I've tried once it's completely soaked in, I rectify this though by using a nice smelling moisturiser for fake tans so it's not an issue but it does have a strong tanner smell, a bit like biscuit mixed with plastic is the only way I can explain it.I know by my review it doesnt come across like this stuff is that great lol but it really is I just wanted to be honest about the pros and cons, so far it's the best gradual that I've found, just remember that being a gradual that if you build it too much it will turn orangey, there must be something different in gradual tanners because the instant tans dont seem to. Overall if you use this sparingly and are looking for a very subtle hint of a tan so that you dont look ghastly white then this is the best you'll likely find it is extremely natural

Has that fake tan smell and has an orange hue to it.I wanted something to replace sun bed use but at least with the sunbeds I go brown not orange and I don't have that rotten fake tan smell. Can never find anything that doesn't have that smell though 😅

Good value

Builds to a lovely gradual tan

I usually use the gradual tan foam from Bondi Sands but thought I’d give this a go for something more moisturising.Overall, I would say it’s a great product. I do find if you apply too much of a thick layer, the next time you apply be careful as too much buildup becomes patchy and peels.I am fair skinned and ginger haired and the colour comes up lovely on me. Again, if I add too much in one week I can risk an Orange tint but my skin is extremely pale so I usually expect a dance with getting my colour right with any product.It stays on a long time, you really need to scrub to get it off or apply a self tan eraser and it will come off in no time.I sometimes add moisturiser on top of once it has dried or shimmer powder depending on then type of evening and the finish I need.
