Tips & Tricks

Tip 01: Hair Removal

Hair removal should always been the first step in your routine.

As this process can aggravate your skin, we recommend doing it at least 12 hours before tanning and running cold water over the area to ensure your pores are completely closed. This will help to avoid self tan sinking into your open pores and creating dark spots.

Tip 02: Exfoliate

If you're a weekly tanner, old product can build up on your wrists, elbows or knees.

Be sure to use our Self Tan Remover as part of your pre-tan skin prep. Apply to dry skin using your hands, leave it for 5 minutes, then jump in the shower and use our Exfoliating Mitt to buff away old tan, dead skin and dry patches.

Tip 03: Moisturise

Before application, moisturise anywhere that fake tan has a habit of catching (knees, wrists, elbows and fingers).

We recommend going over these areas lightly with a moisturiser, adding that extra barrier between your skin and your self tan will allow the product to sit lighter upon these areas.

Tip 04: Maintenance

Keeping your skin hydrated is the key to a long lasting tan. Use our Gradual Tan or Antioxidant Body Whip after each shower to extend the life of your fake tan by up to 7 days while maintaining a smooth and even result.

Tip 03: Customisation

The best thing about using an express tan is that your result is entirely customisable!

Let it develop for 1 hour for a natural looking bronzed glow, 2 hours for a deep tan and 3+ hours for the darkest result.

Tip 04: Moisturise

Before application, moisturise anywhere that fake tan has a habit of catching (knees, wrists, elbows and fingers).

We recommend going over these areas lightly with a moisturiser, adding that extra barrier between your skin and your self tan will allow the product to sit lighter upon these areas.

Tips & Tricks

Tip 01: Exfoliate

Our Instant Tan will look best on a clean, smooth base. For optimal results, exfoliate prior to application. Following this, ensure your skin is dry, hydrated and clean before spraying.

Tip 02: 15cm Rule

Ensure to hold the can 15cm away from the area you wish to tan as you spray the Instant Tan onto your skin.

This is to ensure the product is evenly dispersed across your desired area.

Tip 03: Blending

Blend into the skin using long, sweeping motions using the Bali Body Blending Brush or Luxe Tanning Mitt.

On areas that crease like your fingers, hands, ankles and knees, buff the product in further for a more seamless finish.

Tip 04: 1 Minute Rule

Wait at least 1 minute after application to ensure the product has dried.

Test with your fingers to ensure it has settled and blended into the skin. Our Instant Tan will be touch dry and promises minimal transfer in under 60 seconds.

Tips & Tricks

Tip 01: Exfoliate

We recommend exfoliating and cleansing your face thoroughly prior to application.

Creating a smooth, clean base will ensure the micro-mist formula evenly settles across your complexion, resulting in a seamless face tan.

Tip 02: Blend

After spritzing your face and neck, you can take a cotton pad and wipe across the areas to further ensure a seamless result. This extra step leaves zero room for missed patches!

Tip 03: Last Step

Our Face Tan Mist is the last step in your skincare routine.

If applying before bed, apply after doing your nightly skincare routine.

If applying in the morning, apply after doing your morning skincare routine, but before makeup. Be sure to wait for the product to dry before applying any oil or water based makeup.

Tip 04: Maintenance

To maintain your glow, be sure to reapply every 3-4 days. The tan will fade with daily cleansing, so it's important to top up if you're wanting a 24/7 tan.

If you're wanting to deepen your result, reapply every 1-2 days. The golden rule is: the more often you apply, the darker your result.

Tips & Tricks

Tip 01: Build For Coverage

Our Super Serum provides sheer coverage. If you're after more of a foundation finish, simply layer more product for additional coverage.

Upon applying the first layer, wait for the product to settle into your skin before applying your second layer.

Tip 02: Mix In

To maximise hydration, we recommend mixing your Super Serum in with your daily moisturiser prior to application.

This is also a great technique if you want to achieve an even more subtle, sheer result.

Tip 03: Hands or Brush?

Applying the product with your hands is actually the best way to achieve even coverage.

Using your hands allows the product to warm slightly and blend easier, creating a seamless, "your skin but better" result.

Tip 04: Reapply

Like any SPF product, it's best to apply a generous amount of product 20 minutes before sun exposure.

Then be sure to reapply every 2 hours, especially when swimming or sweating.

Tips & Tricks

Tip 01: Post Shower

Prime time for applying our Body Whip is when your skin is still damp from the shower. Why? When the skin is wet, it's more absorbent, meaning the antioxidants and active ingredients are able to penetrate deeper into the skin, leaving you feeling smooth and hydrated all day long.

Tip 02: Tan Extender

Our Body Whip is a saviour when it comes to extending the life of your natural or fake tan. The more hydrated your skin is, the less cells you'll shed and the longer your tan will last.

Apply everyday after a self tan application or day in the sun to lock in moisture and naturally hold the state of your tan.

Tip 03: Don't Skip Whip

Maintaining hydration on your body is just as important as hydrating the skin on your face.

We recommend applying this product every day after your shower to ensure you are locking in all of the anti-ageing and skin firming benefits possible!

Tips & Tricks

Tip 01: Shower Hero

Our Shower Oil isn't your traditional body oil, this is an in-shower experience. Instead of moisturising when you get out of the shower, it hydrates while you wash.

Tip 02: Warm It Up

This is an incredibly natural formula, so it has the ability to solidify.

Before use, we recommend putting the bottle in a warm place or running under hot water for a minute or so to melt the ingredients back into their liquid gold form!

Tip 03: Pat Dry

To avoid stripping the oils from your body when you finish your shower, be sure to only gently pat dry so that the product remains on your skin for a luminous, silky finish.

Tips & Tricks

Tip 01: Pre Application

Always apply your SPF and Tanning Oil of choice prior to sun exposure.

Allowing 20 minutes before you expose yourself to the sun ensures the product has been successfully absorbed into your skin and is ready to provide the sun protection it needs to.

Tip 02: Layer Up

Once your SPF50 has absorbed into your skin, you are ready to apply your favourite Bali Body Tanning Oil.

We recommend always using our naturally derived and lightweight oils, to ensure the epidermis can 'breathe' and not create too much 'sun stress' onto the skin.

Tip 03: Body Only

Not the face! To risk skin irritation and damaging sun exposure, we recommend not applying any of our Tanning Oils to your face.

Although naturally derived, oils may clog your pores and could lay heavy on your complexion. Plus... sun tanning your face will only lead to premature ageing so it's best to avoid.

Tip 04: Reapply

As you would with any SPF, it's important to reapply after swimming or if you come into contact with water to avoid being in the sun without protection.

Tip 01: Pre Application

Always apply your SPF and Tanning Oil of choice prior to sun exposure.

Allowing 20 minutes before you expose yourself to the sun ensures the product has been successfully absorbed into your skin and is ready to provide the sun protection it needs to.

Tip 02: Layer Up

If you want to achieve a natural sun tan, we recommend layering a Bali Body Tanning Oil with your SPF50 Spray to safely attract UVA and UVB rays.

Our Watermelon Tanning Oil contains natural melanin boosters, making it a great choice for sun tanning.

Tip 03: Body Only

Although you can use this product on your face, we would recommend using our SPF50 Face Sunscreen instead. It's been specifically formulated for your complexion due to its calming and soothing properties.

Tip 04: Reapply

As you would with any SPF, it's important to reapply after swimming or if you come into contact with water to avoid being in the sun without protection.

Tips & Tricks

Tip 01: Daily Essential

Protecting your complexion from harsh environmental factors such as UVA and UVB rays will decrease the visible signs of ageing. Sun exposure is the number 1 factor that accelerates the signs of ageing, so be sure to apply every day after your skincare routine!

Tip 02: Primer

Due to its fluid like formula, this product is perfect for wearing under makeup and utilising as a primer. After your regular skincare routine, apply your SPF. Wait until it has settled into your skin, before applying makeup.

Tip 03: Reapply

As you would with any SPF, it's important to reapply after swimming or if you come into contact with water to avoid being in the sun without protection.
