Extended Product Information

Performance & Real-World UseThe Bondi Sands Self Tanning Foam - Dark is designed to deliver a rich, sun-kissed tan with ease. Its lightweight foam texture makes it straightforward to apply, helping to achieve an even, streak-free result when used with an application mitt. The formula quickly develops, allowing users the flexibility to rinse off after just one hour for a lighter glow, or extend the development time up to six hours for a deeper, more pronounced tan. For those desiring the deepest possible tan, a second application 30 minutes after the first can be performed.The inclusion of aloe vera ensures the skin remains hydrated, which is crucial for a smooth, natural-looking fade. The signature coconut scent is a notable feature, masking the typical DHA odor often associated with self-tanners, making the application process more enjoyable. This product is ideal for preparing for special events, maintaining a year-round glow, or simply boosting confidence with a healthy-looking tan. Remember to always apply to clean, exfoliated skin to maximize evenness and longevity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care### Before You Start:1. Exfoliate: Use an exfoliation mitt to thoroughly clean your skin and remove any dead skin cells. This creates a smooth canvas for an even tan.2. Moisturizer-Free: Ensure your skin is completely free from any moisturizers, deodorants, or perfumes, as these can create barriers and lead to an uneven tan.3. Patch Test: Crucially, carry out a patch test 24 hours prior to full application. Apply a small amount to an inconspicuous area (e.g., inner arm) to check for any irritation, redness, or itchiness.4. Application Mitt: Have an application mitt ready to ensure a smooth, even application and to protect your hands from staining.### Application Steps:1. Pump the self-tanning foam onto your application mitt.2. Using long, sweeping motions, smoothly apply the foam over your legs, arms, and body.3. Use any remaining tan on the mitt for delicate areas like your face, elbows, and knees to avoid over-saturation.### Post-Application Care:1.

Rinsing: Shower with warm water. Avoid harsh scrubbing during your first rinse.3. Drying: Gently pat your skin dry with a towel. Do not rub vigorously.4.
