Australian Gold Instant Sunless Tanning Lotion, 6 Ounce

Australian Gold Instant Sunless Tanning Lotion is a 6-ounce bronzing lotion that delivers a natural, deep bronze glow while hydrating skin and extending color longevity with Fade Defy Technology.

Blend skincare with instant and developing bronzing pigments: this sunless lotion mixes immediate bronzers for an on-contact glow with a high level of DHA and Derma Dark Bronzers that deepen color over the next hours. The formula is built to moisturize and soften, helping the tint appear more even and last longer, and includes a tropical breeze fragrance for a pleasant application. New packaging contains the same trusted formula.

How quickly will I see color and how long does it last?

You get an on-the-spot bronze from the Deep Darkening Color Blend plus progressive development from DHA and Derma Dark Bronzers over the following hours. Results depend on your starting skin tone and aftercare, but well-hydrated skin and Fade Defy Technology help the tint hold for multiple days.

• Immediate bronzers give an instant sun-kissed look.
• DHA and Derma Dark Bronzers deepen color within hours.
• Hydrating ingredients and Fade Defy help reduce patchy fading.
• Longevity improves with gentle exfoliation and moisturizing routine.

Will this lotion dry out or feel sticky on my skin?

The lotion is formulated to hydrate while it bronzes, minimizing tightness or tackiness commonly associated with some self-tanners. Skin softeners and moisturizing components are included to leave skin feeling smoother and more comfortable after application.

• Moisturizing base reduces dryness and flakiness.
• Skin softeners create a velvety finish rather than stickiness.
• Caffeine is added to improve the appearance of skin texture.
• Use a body moisturizer between applications to maintain softness.

How should I apply it for the most even bronze?

Apply to exfoliated, clean skin using circular motions or a mitt to distribute product evenly and prevent streaks. Allow the instant bronzers to dry before dressing, and follow a gentle aftercare routine to prolong color.

• Exfoliate a day before application for smooth skin.
• Use a tanning mitt or gloves to avoid stained palms.
• Blend evenly at wrists, elbows, knees, and ankles for natural transitions.
• Wait to shower the recommended development time for deeper results.

Does it have a noticeable scent and what should I expect?

The lotion features a relaxing tropical breeze scent designed to be pleasant during application and fade over time. Fragrance helps mask the characteristic self-tanner odor without overpowering the natural scent of your skin.

• Tropical breeze fragrance for a fresh application experience.
• Scent is balanced to avoid heavy perfume notes.
• Fragrance reduces typical DHA odor during development.
• Scent diminishes as the product fully develops on skin.

Who is this for: Australian Gold Instant Sunless Tanning Lotion is aimed at anyone seeking a deeper, natural-looking sunless tan while maintaining skin hydration—ideal for first-time tanners who want instant color plus progressive development, regular users wanting richer tone and improved longevity, and anyone who prefers a fragranced lotion that also conditions the skin. Avoid use on broken or irritated skin and follow application directions for best results.
