The 4th of July, also known as Independence Day, is a day that celebrates the United States' independence from Great Britain. It's a day filled with pride, gratitude, and a whole lot of red, white, and blue. It commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, marking the birth of the United States as a sovereign nation. It's a day for BBQs, fireworks, parades, and all things Americana.

When did the 4th of July start?

This star-spangled holiday started way back on July 4, 1776, with the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. Since then, it's evolved into a nationwide celebration of freedom, democracy, and those unforgettable summer vibes.

Who celebrates the 4th of July?

Absolutely everyone in the US gets into the spirit! From the East Coast to the West, Americans of all ages and backgrounds come together to celebrate their nation's independence. It's a unifying day that brings together communities with a shared sense of patriotism and joy.

How to Glow Up For the 4th of July?


Now, for the fun part! Let's talk about how to ensure you're glowing brighter than the fireworks lighting up the night sky on the 4th of July.

1. Select the right tan for you

First things first, let's talk tan! Whether you're into spray tans, lotions, or mousse, choosing the right product is key to achieving that perfect, sun-kissed glow.

Self Tan Mousse

 If you're dreaming of that perfect summer glow without spending hours under the sun, our self tanning mousses are perfect. Enriched with natural oils and antioxidants, our Self Tanning Mousse and Ultra Dark Self Tanning Mousse offer exceptional tanning color and a 1 to 8-hour developing time for the deepest shade possible. You’ll be ready to step out into the sun looking effortlessly bronzed at any beach party or outdoor BBQ.

Self Tan Milk

If you’re after a quick-drying, no-rinse tanner that provides a deep, glowy tan, then look no further than our new Self Tan Body Milk. This liquidy, glowy no-color fake tan is ideal for those seeking a deeper, longer-lasting tan. With 4 cascading levels of hyaluronic acid, ceramides and vitamin C, your skin won’t just have a deep tan but will be deeply nourished from the get-go. It’s perfect for a relaxed 4th of July picnic in the park, so your skin looks radiant and hydrated throughout the day. Total perfection, right?

 

 

Self Tan Serums

Infused with the dreamiest ingredients like ceramides, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid, our self tan serums are here to nourish your skin and give it a healthy glow-up perfect for a sophisticated 4th of July rooftop dinner or soirée. The Face Tan Serum lets you mix it with your daily moisturizer for that custom, sun-kissed radiance. Plus, our Self Tan Body Serum is your new BFF for achieving that deep, natural tan in a flash - we're talking just 4-6 hours, babes!

Fake Tan Mists

If you want to glow in no time, consider a fake tan mist to provide an even, all-body tan that will leave your skin refreshed and glowy. Our Bali Body Face Tan Mist and Self Tan Body Mist feature an innovative micro mist technology that makes applying them a total breeze, even on those tricky spots, so you get that flawless, sun-kissed look all over. 

With a cooling sensation, these fake tan mists are ideal for an active 4th of July day, such as a hike or a day of volleyball at the beach, where you want a quick, no-fuss application that won't sweat off through the day.

Instant and Express Fake Tan

For the babes that leave everything to the last minute (don’t worry, we are too) then the collection of Bali Body instant and express fake tan options offer a precise, even application without the wait time for an instant bronzed glow. With options like the Instant Tan, 1 Hour Express Self Tan, and Express Ultra Dark, you can tailor your tan to match your desired level of bronze effortlessly. 

2. Make Sure to Exfoliate

No matter which tan you prefer for the 4th of July, if you want that tan to apply smoothly and last through the festivities, exfoliation is your BFF. Gently scrub away dead skin cells to reveal a smooth canvas ready for tanning. Trust us, it makes all the difference.

3. Full Body Hydration Is Key for Skin Health and Tan Longevity

Hydrated skin not only looks healthier, but it also holds onto your tan longer. After exfoliating, lavish your skin with a rich moisturizer. Keep up the hydration game before and after tanning to ensure your glow looks fresh and radiant throughout the celebrations.

4. Ensure You're Sun Safe for Outdoor Events and Activities

Sun safety is a non-negotiable. If you're spending the 4th outdoors, slather on that broad-spectrum SPF to protect your beautiful skin from harmful rays. Reapply every two hours, or more frequently if you're swimming or sweating. A sunburn is definitely not the accessory we're aiming for!

And if you think sunscreen will stop you from tanning, then read our guide on why sunscreen is your key to safe tanning.


5. Get Involved With the Festivities

The best way to glow for this 4th of July is from the inside out. Dress up in your favorite red, white, and blue outfit, throw on some sparkly accessories, and dive into the celebrations. Whether it's watching a parade, enjoying a BBQ with friends and family, or oohing and aahing over fireworks, fully embracing the joy and togetherness of the day will make you radiate like the star you are.

So there you have it, lovely! Follow these tips, and you're sure to glow brighter than a 4th of July fireworks display. Remember, the most important thing is to celebrate safely and joyfully. Happy Independence Day!
