If you were to have met me a decade ago, you may not have recognized me. In my late teens, I was about 10 shades darker than I am today, with a clear addiction to the tanning bed. Since then, I've thankfully gained some sense (tanning beds and UV damage are a big no-go!) and an appreciation for my naturally fair skin. That being said, though, I still refuse to be blindingly pale in the summertime, which has led me down a long journey to discover the best gradual self-tanners. The one that has ranked above them all is Bondi Sands Everyday Gradual Tanning Milk.
In the process of finding a self-tanner for my fair skin, I've come across all kinds of tanning mishaps. I've seen awful steaks and blotches from foam formulas and no added color whatsoever from tanning drops. Some formulas leave my skin feeling dry, while others have left behind a gross stickiness—and don't even get me started on the state of my sheets after trialing one particularly dark lotion. Thankfully, I came across the Bondi Sands Everyday Gradual Tanning Milk, and all of my tanning woes were solved.
