Thousands of beauty enthusiasts are ‘ditching’ the tanning mitt in favor of a £4 Amazon gadget that guarantees a streak-free tan every time, even in the most hard-to-reach areas like the back. This tanning applicator, which the shopper says he “didn’t even know he needed” before trying it, has been purchased over 2,000 times in one month, and it’s easy to see why.
The Bondi Sands Self Tanning Back Applicator, which has been hailed as a “game changer” by fake tan and gradual tan users alike, normally costs £6.99, but it’s been reduced to £4.37 for a limited time on Amazon, with more than 2,000 units snapped up in the last month.
Bondi Sands’ Self-Tanning Back Applicator makes tanning your back and hard-to-reach areas a breeze, and eliminates the risk of getting orange streaks on your hands when you run through the mitt. It can also be used for fake tans, such as our best-selling £7 St Moriz Advanced Color Correct Tanning Mousse, or for gradient tans, such as Dove’s 5-star rated Gradient Tanning Lotion. This lotion is currently on sale on Amazon for £4.25 instead of £8.50.
