Review: Bondi Sands Aero Aerated Self Tanning Foam Ultra Dark
price: $17 at Ulta.
type: an aerated mousse with an olive-based color guide
product call-outs: cruelty-free
key ingredients: The hydrating tanner is made with a high level of DHA yet is also infused with vitamin E and jojoba to offer a super moisturizing tan.
texture: a light and fluffy whipped mousse
dry time: less than 5 minutes
scent: fresh coconut
(hot) take on the tan: To be honest, I can’t recommend Aero enough. From the lightweight texture that feels like heaven on the skin, to how quickly the mousse absorbs into the skin leaving it non-sticky and super bronzed. And let me not forget the tan itself. Two coats of this bad boy will leave your skin four to five shades darker for at least five days. Tip: forego using soap when you rinse the color guide off, thanks to the level of DHA in the tanner, I’ve noticed you’ll continue to see your tan develop even after the first shower. I’ve never looked forward to my weekly tanning routine more than since I’ve started using Aero.
how we applied: On the body: on clean, dry skin I pumped a golf ball-sized dollop on the tanning mitt and lathered each limb and body part. One dollop should cover each limb and area. I repeated the application for a second coat and then let the tan develop over eight hours. Skin is left with a rich, deep, brown tan.

brand background: Australian-based Bondi Sands has always been ahead of the (American) fake tanning world and they continue to do so with the launch of their Aero collection. The brand is inspired by the familiar beauty of Australia’s most popular beach, and that is translated into their products which give a tan so natural-looking you’ll look (and feel) like you just stepped off the beach.
