If an overseas trip isn’t in your winter itinerary, you can still achieve that tropical glow minus the harsh sun exposure thanks to everyone’s favourite self tanning brand Bondi Sands – providing us with the top tips to ace the faux bronze any time of year:
Tip 1: Body care
A natural looking, long-lasting tan is down to the prep and exfoliating before applying is important to avoid any cling patches. Opt for Bondi Sands Tropical Rum Body Scrub and focus on rough areas like the knees, elbows and ankles, then continue top to toe with the Bondi Sands Exfoliating Mitt to ensure your skin is ready for the next step – self tan!
Tip 2: Always follow the instructions
Once washed off, self tan continues to develop on the skin so it’s important to stick to the recommended development period noted on the packaging. If you bounce between how deep you want your tan, try a product with different levels of colour depending on marination time like Bondi Sands 1 Hour Express Self Tanning Foam and Face Mist. Whether you’re wanting a light golden hue or a deep bronze, simply leave on for anywhere between 30 minutes – three hours and watch yourself transform.
Tip 3: Application
When applying always do long sweeping motions using a mitt or back applicator to avoid streaks. Use the excess tan on the applicator to buff into those tougher skinned areas like knees, elbows, ankles and hands and wait to dry before applying your #tanthursday PJs or robe.
Tip 4: Protect and prolong
Make your efforts worthwhile with Bondi Sands Tropical Rum Body Moisturiser – this self tan friendly formula with jojoba and vitamin E infusion will keep your tan looking fresher for longer. Pair with an SPF like Bondi Sands Everyday Skincare Sunny Daze before stepping out for the day and enjoy rocking your fresh-off-the-plane island glow
Bondi Sands is available at Farmers, Unichem and Life Pharmacies.
