Winter Bronzing In A Bottle Part 2

The best tanning lotion. Tan in a can. Bronze in a bottle. Fake Bake. It doesn’t matter what you call it. This stuff can be your best friend. Gone are the days of tanning beds being the go-to choice. Spray tans are what most people are turning to. However, not everyone can spend $20-$40 weekly, or are comfortable stripping down for the tan.

Bondi Sands

I got the Bondi Sands Ultra Dark formula. Only $26 on Amazon.

When I first put it on I was very nervous with how dark and grungy it went on. However, after the inital setting time and rinsing it off, I was very pleased with its overall color and the long-lasting stay. Tan seemed to last about 5-7 days before needing reapplication. I was happy with the scent of the product and with the ease of application.

Loving Tan 2 Hr Express

• 

I ordered the Loving Tan in Dark. It is $40 on Amazon.

While this lotion is the priciest of all of them, it is definitely worth it. This tanning lotion gave a quick and natural coloring that I loved. My biggest complaint with it, is getting it on my feet without splotching. I think its just gonna require more technique and/or practice for it. Tan seems to last 3-4 days before needing reapplication.

The best tanning lotion is….
