The Bondi Sands No.1 Tan Van Is Hitting Sydney for Three Days Only

We’ve partnered with Bondi Sands to bring you the No.1 Tan Van: three days, three Sydney stops a free tan in exchange for your old one, plus prizes and sodas to boot.

Summer’s almost here, and Bondi Sands is celebrating by taking its No.1 Tan Van to the streets of Sydney. The deal is simple: hand over your old self-tan, whatever the brand, and walk away with a full-sized Bondi Sands 1 Hour Express Self Tanning Foam, and the best bit? It’s completely free. 

Whether you’re a long-time devotee or yet to try Bondi Sands, this is the easiest way to discover why it’s Australia’s No.1 self-tan brand*. And that half-used bottle at the back of the cabinet? Its days are officially numbered.

Everything You Need to Know About the Bondi Sands No.1 Tan Van

For three days only, Bondi Sands is hitting the streets of Sydney. Think of it as a spring clean for your bathroom cabinet, with a little gift at the end.

Here’s how it works: bring along your old self-tan, whether it’s an empty bottle or one that didn’t quite meet the mark, and trade it in for a complimentary Bondi Sands 1 Hour Express Self Tanning Foam. And before you ask, no, it doesn’t have to be a Bondi Sands product. As long as it’s a self-tan, it’s welcome.

But the swap is just the start. While you’re there, sip on a free limited-edition Bondi Sands x Sippi Soda, then take your shot at the Throw to Glow ring toss for your chance to win exclusive prizes.

We all know nailing a tan in a bottle is more complicated than it looks, so if you’re not sure which shade or formula is right for you, the experts behind Australia’s No.1 self-tan brand* will be on hand to share their advice.

And with the van only in town for three days, it’s the perfect excuse to bring a tan-loving friend along and make a day of it.
