Can I use the Gradual Tan Butter in conjunction with other Bali Body products?

How quickly will I see results?
You will see initial results within 4-6 hours. Darkest results seen after 2-3 applications.
Do I need to wash my hands after I apply?
Absolutely. As this is a self tanning product, you will need to thoroughly wash your hands after each application. Pay close attention to your wrists and in between your fingers.
Is this a gradual tanning product?
Yes, it is. The results from 1 application will give you medium to dark results, depending on your natural skin tone. To increase the deepness of your tan, we recommend continued use. Apply to clean skin after each shower. Best results are seen after 4 applications.
What is the texture of this product?
This body lotion has a rich, butter-like texture that is ultra-hydrating and creamy.
Can I use this as a tan extender?
Yes, you can! Apply daily after a shower to increase the longevity of your natural or fake tan to intensely hydrate the skin. A hydrated skin barrier will help preserve the colour of your tan, extending its life for up to 7 days.
Should I exfoliate before using the Gradual Tanning Butter?
Yes, it’s always best to exfoliate before applying self-tan, as this will allow the hydrating skincare ingredients to soak into your skin better, meaning your tan will be more even and longer lasting. Plus, the added hydration from the Gradual Tanning Butter means that exfoliated skin will be even more hydrated and buttery-soft.
For best results, you can use our Body Scrub or Exfoliating Mitt.
For an even, streak-free tan, begin by using our exfoliating mitt. Then, apply and blend the Gradual Tanning Butter into your skin as you would a daily body moisturiser. Wash hands after each application.
This can be used everyday as a body moisturiser - it will subtly and gradually tan your skin over time. The more often you apply Gradual Tanning Butter, the darker your tan will become.
Hydrate, tan, illuminate and repair skin in one step with this daily body moisturiser. Enriched with skin cell-renewing vitamin E, hydrating niacinamide and nourishing shea butter to leave your skin looking flawless and feeling healthy.

- JSJess S.Verified BuyerI recommend this productSkin Tone MediumRated 5 out of 5 stars2 days agoThe perfect glow!
First of all, I don’t think I have ever been so inclined to write a review for something as I am for this product. Was looking for a gradual self tanner than just gave me the perfect glow and this was it! I love the consistency of it. I’ve put it on in the middle of the day and gone out right after. It immediately gives you such a nice glow and then builds up the bronze tan over a few hours. Ive found that it you apply it twice; once one day and then again the next, it gives the perfect tan. I’m not sure if you’re supposed to put this on your face or not, but I always do and let me tell you, it looks gorgeous. I’ve gotten so many compliments on how glowy and even my skin looks. I’d suggest only applying to your face once though and the rest of your body twice. Can’t wait to order this again!

I really like this tanning butter. It’s a great moisturizer. Goes on smooth and distributes easily. All self tanning products have that awful smell and this one is no exception. However goes away completely after one shower. Tan last me about 4 to 5 days. I would recommend and will purchase again.
