1 Hour Express Self Tan Routine

A foolproof guide to achieving the perfect self tan in 60 mins
1 Hour Express Self Tan Routine

Whoever said fake tanning is difficult has clearly never tried our 1 Hour Express Self Tanning Mousse. 

With the launch of our 1 Hour Express, babes across the world are achieving a perfect Bali Body tan in less than 60 minutes and we couldn’t be happier about it. Being the fake tan experts, we have shared our go-to tan routine for the most flawless, long lasting results every single time. 

Exfoliate & shave 

The best self tans start with a clean, exfoliated base. Apply our Self Tan Remover, to your entire body and leave for 5 minutes. Reach for our Exfoliating Mitt and gently buff away any stubborn fake tan. Lastly, use a razor to shave your legs and any other areas you wish to be hair free. BB pro tip: to ensure you keep strawberry legs at bay, blast cool water on your legs after showering. Your pores will be closed and ready for a fresh coat of Bali Body tan.

Prep

Moisturising dry areas like your elbows, knees and feet is the key to a flawless self tan. Dry areas on the body can hold and gather fake tan, which at times leads to a not so natural looking result. Avoid this fake tan mishap and reach for your moisturiser before going in with the fake tan foam

Application

This is the fun part. Apply our 1 Hour Express Self Tan to your entire body in long sweeping motions. For the best results, use our Luxe Tanning Mitt (it’s 20% off if you purchase it with our self tan) to glide the product over your skin. We recommend starting at the ankles and working your way upwards. After completing your front, move towards your back and apply in the same motion. Ensure all areas are covered before gliding the excess tan from the mitt over those freshly moisturised dry areas. 

Develop 

Rinse after 60 minutes with warm water then pat the skin dry. If you’re after a darker result, we recommend leaving the tan on for at least 3 hours before showering. If you’re after some activities to do whilst you marinate, be sure to check out our blog

Maintain

After a long lasting relationship with your fake tan? Moisturising is your new BFF. Apply your fave super hydrating moisturiser daily to ensure your fake tan lasts for as long as possible. When skin is dry and thirsty it tends to crack and no one wants their skin to look like a tiger bread roll! Our Luxe Moisturising Lotion is filled with Vitamin E and shea butter which deeply penetrate into the skin, leaving you glowing, hydrated and still deeply bronzed.

How to combat dry and dehydrated skin

How to combat dry and dehydrated skin

We’ve all been there. Neglecting our skin is unfortunately a sin most of us commit on a regular basis. And let’s face it, there really is no nicer feeling than slipping into clean sheets with silky smooth skin to compliment. It’s the simple things in life that really go the extra mile. So we’re here to teach you the easiest and fastest way to give your skin a little TLC, in under 2 minutes. Step 1: Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate The most simple, yet the most neglected part of any skin care regimen. Long gone are the days of harsh scrubbing applicators and routines, feeling like our skin is going red raw with the pressure.  If you’re using a 100% natural DHA self-tanner, then the self-tan only sits on the first layer of your skin, your epidermis. Synthetic or chemical DHA-based tans actually seep into the lower levels of your skin, making it much more difficult to remove.  In essence, we always recommend that you opt for a 100% natural DHA self-tanner. Not only to add ease to the post tanning removal process, but to also support a healthy relationship with your skin and it’s overall health. To exfoliate, we recommend using a light to medium pressurised, natural body scrub that also harbours benefits for the skin. Our Essentials Body Scrub is an all-natural formulation that gently but effectively exfoliates the skin while replenishing moisture. Pink french clay and nourishing plant based oils work together to promote skin elasticity and renewal. Infused with a blend of grape seed oil and rosa damascena flower oil, this combination is designed to provide antibacterial properties, minimising the occurrence of body acne and other skin concerns. Step 2: Stay hydrated We know that sometimes getting your 2L of H2O every day can be more of a laborious chore, rather than a self care act. Keeping your skin hydrated should be no less of a priority than the latter.  There are generally 3 ways you can go about this: 1 - Mid-wash hydration This is usually when you use an in-shower or oil-based product whilst you wash. Our in-shower body oil is a great product for this method of combating skin hydration. Enriched with soothing ingredients such as chamomile and coconut oil, the formulation of our Shower Oil has been designed to soften the skin's surface and help control skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Our in-shower body oil also includes nourishing plant-based oils such as grapeseed oil, which aims to provide intense hydration to the skin.  To use, apply generously to wet or damp skin in the shower. Following this, massage all over your body and focus on any dry areas or where the skin is cracked and neglected (elbows, knee caps etc). Lastly, rinse off in the shower and you’re good to go!  A product like that is perfect for daily use and complimentary for all skin types and skin aversions, including sensitised skin. 2 - Post-wash hydration The second and probably most obvious skin hydration tip is to moisturise daily. We recommend using a 3-in-1 product, like our Gradual Tan Moisturiser. Using 100% natural DHA and other natural ingredients and oils, our Gradual Tan can be used as a daily moisturiser, a tan extender or a gradual tan. 3 - General product mindfulness As explored above, the importance of choosing to use products that contain natural ingredients and oils is extremely important - especially when you are applying it topically all over your body's largest organ. Always be sure to educate yourself regarding what is actually in a product and favour ingredient-focused formulations. Also, try to get in the habit of electing to seek out products that are sustainable in their packaging and their ethos. Our new Essentials range has been designed using 100% recyclable materials and is safe for all skin types and pregnancy.
