FAQs

How long should I leave the tan on?

Leave the Bondi Sands Self Tanning Foam in Ultra Dark on for up to 6 hours before showering. For a deeper tan, you can reapply after 30 minutes and wait the same amount of time.

Can I apply this product to my face?

Yes, but be careful to apply sparingly and blend well. Consider using a dedicated face tanner for best results.

How do I prevent streaks?

Exfoliate before application, use an application mitt, and apply the foam in circular motions. Avoid applying too much product in one area.

How often should I reapply?

Reapply every 5-7 days or as needed to maintain your desired tan. This depends on your skin's exfoliation rate and how often you shower.

How do I remove the tan?

Exfoliate thoroughly with a scrub or use a tan remover product. Soaking in a warm bath can also help to loosen the tan.

Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?

The product is enriched with aloe vera which can be soothing. However, always do a patch test 24 hours prior to full application if you have sensitive skin.

Can I swim or exercise while the tan is developing?

It's best to avoid activities that cause excessive sweating or water exposure during the development time to prevent streaking.

What is the shelf life of the product?

The product should be stored properly and used within the period indicated on the packaging, which is usually 12 months after opening.

Troubleshooting

Tan appears streaky or uneven.

Ensure skin is properly exfoliated before application. Use an application mitt and apply the foam in circular motions. Avoid applying too much product in one area.

Tan is too dark.

Apply a lighter layer during your next application or reduce the development time. You can also exfoliate to lighten the existing tan.

Tan fades unevenly.

Moisturize daily and avoid harsh soaps or exfoliants. Exfoliate gently to remove the tan evenly when desired.
