Bondi SandsLiquid Gold Self Tanning Dry Oil | Hydrating, Quick Drying, Tanning Dry-Oil for a Natural, Golden Look | 5.07 oz/150 mL

This is one of my favorite Bondi Sands products and it’s so hard to find. I was a little nervous to order, afraid it would leak or spill out, but it came so well packaged! The item was wrapped in plastic and it was packaged well in the box so it didn’t fly around.

I love using this on my legs. It applies evenly and gives color fairly quickly. I love that it doesn’t have to be washed off. I don’t notice any transfer or any uneven distribution. Scent is not a problem at all (neither good nor bad). It is a liquid oil and gives a nice golden glow. If you keep your skin hydrated (lotion) I notice it lasts. You can also apply more layers to build color if you notice it fading, without having to exfoliate first.

I'm very new at self tanner , so far besides this one I've tried the bondi sands foam in dark that's really good. But this one you can spray directly on your skin, and rub in. I've used rubber gloves and with that I feel like your getting full effect, and it seems to blend very well. I'd definitely put lotion on dry areas , as it will stick to those, but other than bottom of feet , no orange or streaks that's I've seen. Very natural looking.

In between Tanning I use this.

I use this year-round. In the summer, I use more sprays per section of my body than I do in the winter to give me a darker color. I like I how can control the depth of the color, and it's always beautiful and natural looking whether it's lighter or darker. It leans on the olive side with a slight golden undertone, and is not orange at all. No need to wash it off after 8 hours either, which is much more convenient for me. I apply it at night with a tanning mitt after my shower, I go to bed in it (it doesn't transfer on anything) and I wear it the next day as it continues to develop. Slight self-tanner smell but nothing noticeable to other people. Lasts a little under a week for me, so I usually do it twice a week.Super fast and easy application, normally takes me about 10 minutes. Very convenient for us busy girls. I'll spray it directly on my skin (so like 4 sprays on each arm) and just apply it in sections and rub it in per body part. I use the leftover product on the mitt to get my hands and feet. I don't use lotion anywhere beforehand, I just gently blot off more dry areas of my skin with a wet wipe after I've applied the tanner (so for me that's my ankles, tops of toes, knuckles, in between fingers, sides of my hands to give that blended ombre effect, and elbows). You can apply it on your face and ears with a kabuki brush (spray directly on the brush one spray at a time, then rub it in and spray more if necessary) or you can apply it with the mitt. I spray it directly on the mitt for hard to reach areas like my back and rub it in sections. I've tried other brands and different formulas (foam, water, whipped) and this one is by far my favorite. Also, if you have sensitive skin, this is the least likely brand and formulation to irritate it. I get eczema sometimes on my arms, and out of all the self-tanners I've tried, this works the best for that with the least side effects.***Would not recommend if you're new to self-tanning though!! If you're new, I'd start with an Aero whipped formula (it's very olive colored) and then you can figure out which areas of your body the tanner clings to the most. Once you master the application of that, switch to this one because there's no transfer and no wash off required!! And Aero can be drying and irritating to your skin if you use it for too long

Super disappointed that Bondi Sands changed this oil. It still works great, but it’s not clear anymore. I loved the clear formula. I gave this one a try and it sprayed out brown. It applies similarly to the tanning foam so you have to be really careful or it ends up uneven and patchy looking. I also felt like the scent was a little bit different too. I don’t think I’ll buy it again. I’ll probably go back to the tanning milk lotion instead or find another brand with a clear formula.UPDATE: I was WRONG. It turns out this is NOT the correct oil. There was some confusion and Bondi Sands clarified it to me. They let me know this is not the EVERYDAY GRADUAL TANNING OIL. They are currently out of stock. My bad for the mixup as the bottles look similar!

Best self tanner by far. I have used countless bottles of this over the years. It doesn’t rub off onto clothes and doesn’t have to be washed off. There is a super subtle smell but nothing compared to the foam tanners. I use this multiple times a week to maintain a base tan. It also doesn’t streak when coming off. It just gradually fades.

I really like this product. It works well. I am able to control darkness by how much I put on. It smells good to me. It may feel a tad sticky after putting on, but I barely notice. I have been using this for months and have found no negative aspects to this product. I recently purchased two more bottles.
