This is a huge claim I know, but hear me out!
Firstly, let me tell you I am almost as pale as it can get and whilst I love
the look of myself with a slight tan, I can very easily look orange and I also
cannot be bothered with the hassle each week. As a result, I usually just apply
a bronzing cream like the Jennifer Hawkins Shimmer Lotion on visible skin when
I want to look slightly glowy. That was until this beauty popped into my life!
With the Spring sun peeking it’s head
around the clouds this week, I got that fantastic summer feeling and when I noticed
Bondi Sands on sale at Priceline I thought, why not! Well boy am I glad I
purchased this. Not only is this the most pleasant smelling fake tan I have
ever used that barely has that signature ‘biscuit’ scent, in fact it smells
more like yummy coconuts, but it also leaves the most beautiful bronzed glow
without a hint of orange. One layer alone produces a natural tan that is easily
mistaken for a real kiss from the sun! It is definitely more green based, which
I love, and it is easily build able.

The next morning after a shower
Here is my new and improved fake tan
routine:
- The day before I want to tan, I shave or wax the appropriate areas and exfoliate my entire body.
- The next morning, I exfoliate once again to ensure my skin is silky smooth and prepped for application.
- I apply Ro’s Argan Body Conditioner to my ankles and wrists when in the shower to make sure the tan won’t cling to those areas.
- With a tanning mitt, I liberally apply one pump to each area of my body and leave it to dry.
- This is usually sufficient but if I am preparing for a special occasion I will apply another layer an hour later.
- The next morning, I shower and thoroughly moisturise with Ro's Argan Body Conditioner
- This tan sticks around for just under a week (if maintained properly by exfoliating and moisturising each day), by which point I’m ready to exfoliate once again and repeat the process!
The light/medium tone is perfect for my pale skin but there is a dark option for those naturally darker skin tones too. Overall, i really do think this is the best fake tan I have ever used and I am really enjoying using it! Which fake tans do you recommend?!
Love, Catrin xo
