I have tried every fake tan going and the Bondi Sands body oil is the absolute best. I use this on my arms, face etc and apply with gloves.
On my legs I use the BS gradual tanning mouse and apply with a mit. No streaking, no smell, lasts for ages and doesn't go patchy.

Mousse obviously - not mousse Blush

Agreed, tried them all and it's the best. I have Celtic skin and the mid-tone mousse (white bottle) is best. I didn't like the pink bottle gradual one as much.

Thanks ella can I ask why you use the mousse on your legs but the oil elsewhere? Is the oil not mucky to use?

I just prefer a slightly lighter look on my legs - and there's more of it so it lasts longer used regularly on a larger surface area

Ellapaella · 01/10/2019 22:55

The oil is not mucky at all. It comes in a spray bottle and is a dry oil that is easy to blend and dries really quickly. Give it a try, I promise you won't be disappointed. At Moritz do a similar one which is almost as good as but nothing beats the BS.
Also gives an olive toned tan rather than orange.

I absolutely agree with using the oil. It’s fantastic. The mousse is good too but I have had so many problems with the pumps that I won’t use it now. The lotion is not as good.

Thank you both, do you have links to both so I can make sure I get the right ones?! Thank you thank you thank you!

I'm blonde and fair and I like the dark foam better than the oil personally. It's good to rinse before bed if you don't want dyed sheets but it does conpletely wash out with no issues either way. The gradual tan lotion in thd blue bottle is great too and sinks in completely with no greasy feeling. The everyday gradual liquid gold is a weird colour tho (very yellowy) and I wouldn't recommend.

It totally depends on your underlying skin tone which one will suit you best. I have yellow undertones so the oil is great for me. If you have pinker undertones then a different formulation might suit better. False tan works in a similar way to foundation when considering skin tone.

The Everyday Liquid Gold oil spray is a completely different colour result frkm the normal Liquid Gold - of course different tans will look different depending on your own skin tones. I'm quite pink if that helps OP!! I'm also very fair and was a bit nervous about using the Dark foam but it doesn't come out super dark at all, it's a nice medium colour on me and always even and streak-free.
