Can I use the Gradual Tan Butter in conjunction with other Bali Body products?
Yes, this product is great to use in conjunction with our Self Tan range to assist in extending the life of your tan and increase hydration. You can also layer with our Body Whip or Body Highlight to really elevate your tan!
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, itâs 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.

Tried it for the first time yesterday and I am absolutely shocked by the results. It is by far the best team that I have ever used and I have regifted all my old tans to my friends and will definitely be buying this one for myself and my best friends cannot recommend this product enough love love love. What I love the most is that you donât need to wash it off and there isnât a bad smell to the tan. Itâs not streaky and it doesnât have a bad orange or green undertone.

- TFTayla F.Verified BuyerI recommend this productSkin Tone MediumRated 5 out of 5 stars3 days agoAbsolute best!
Iâm officially converted, this is my new favourite. No mess, quick results, very lightweight on the skin and a beautiful glow. I donât get a lot of pamper time with the kids so this has been a game changer. Iâve managed to stay tanned for two weeks now itâs so easy to maintain with light exfoliating in the shower, moisturising/ or topping up with another layer of clear express. Highly recommend! And would love if BB made a travel size of it :)
