What base colour is the Violet Express?
Violet Express features a violet-based self tan. Violet undertones are ideal for anyone seeking a deep, olive finish, as they help neutralise yellow and orange hues to deliver a rich, chocolate-toned result.
What is the difference between the Ultra Dark Express and the Violet Express?
Ultra Dark Express is formulated with a green-based colour guide, which appears on application but does not reflect the final tan. This green tone may be more noticeable on lighter skin tones, but it develops into a natural-looking glow and works to balance red undertones for a bronzed finish. Violet Express, on the other hand, uses a violet base to achieve similarly deep results with a more olive-toned payoff.
How long should I leave the Violet Express on for?
Violet Express can be worn for between 1 and 3 hours, depending on the depth of colour you’re after. Leaving the tan on for longer will allow it to develop darker.
Does the Violet Express dry quickly?
Violet Express is an aerated foam that absorbs faster than traditional tanning mousses. This results in a quick-drying application and a lightweight, touch-dry finish.
Is this self tanner made with natural DHA?
Yes. Like all of our self tanners, Violet Express is formulated using 100% natural DHA.
What natural ingredients are in the Violet Express?
The Violet Mousse is enriched with skin-loving ingredients including niacinamide, glycerin and vitamin E.
Can I apply multiple layers of the Violet Express?
Yes, Violet Express can be layered to build your desired level of colour. Typically, 1–3 layers per application are recommended for optimal results.
Can you use the Violet Express self tanner on your face?
For the face, we recommend using our Face Tan Mist. The Bali Body Face Tan Mist is a skincare-infused self tanning formula specifically designed to gently and evenly tan the face and neck.

- ABAlexandra B.Verified BuyerI recommend this productSkin Tone DarkRated 5 out of 5 stars4 hours agoNice and dark
It’s a good colour, love the olive dark it does not appear orange, It’s feels sticky and it’s hard to put on the skin on the right way sometimes it looks like it’s not smooth . Would be great to have this colour without stains and maybe a cream format so it’s not sticky and I could dress straight away.

First time user of this brand particularly the Deep Violet Express Self Tan. I found this product very easy to apply, great colour, fast developing & great results. Very happy but I wish someone could come up with a formula that doesn’t have that terrible after odour!

So glad you loved the smooth application and quick-drying finish 🤎✨ - KPKimberley P.Verified BuyerI recommend this productSkin Tone FairRated 5 out of 5 stars5 days agoNatural glow
Probably the best tan I have used, I am ghostly fair tried the first time for just over an hour was ok but even on pale fair skin wasn’t anything to brag about. Second time left for 2.5 hours and it was a beautiful sun-kissed glow. I have several brands of tan and this is my new favourite. Any rub off on clothing washes out, no tiger bread patches, only noticeable area of rub off was my neck, assuming due to perfume. Easily removed with body scrub and exfoliating mitt. I do wish it was a bit more moisturising but overall 10/10!

We’re so glad you found your perfect routine and are loving the sun-kissed glow. The 1 to 3 hour development time is just a guideline, so it’s great that leaving it a little longer worked best for your skin.
After a few days, we recommend using our Gradual Tanning Butter to help rehydrate your skin and keep your tan looking fresh and even for longer. Thanks again for sharing your experience!
