Celebrating the Launch of Face Tan Milk in Sydney with a Milk Bar Takeover
On March 14, we transformed Rollers Bakehouse in Manly into the Bali Body Milk Bar for one morning only, and it was everything we hoped it would be. To celebrate the launch of Face Tan Milk, we took over one of Sydney's most loved spots and made it our own. The concept was simple: take something people already love - grabbing coffee and a sweet treat - and give it a Bali Body twist. The space was fully transformed with Bali Body branding, and guests were treated to a glazed cinnamon scroll, a cinnamon scroll cold brew, and a full-sized Face Tan Milk to take home. The response was incredible. All 200 products were gone within the first 90 minutes, with people enjoying the pop up all morning. It was one of those events where you could feel the excitement in the room, and seeing the Sydney community show up so enthusiastically made it all the more special. The Sydney takeover ran alongside a sister event in LA on the very same day, marking a truly global launch for Face Tan Milk. Two cities, one big moment for the brand. Meet Face Tan Milk: The New Era of Facial Self-Tanning Face Tan Milk is our newest addition to the viral Tan Milk collection, and it's unlike anything we've made before. Think of it as your daily face moisturiser with a gradual tanning benefit built in - a skincare-first formula that delivers a natural-looking, streak-free face tan with every application. Formulated with 93% skincare ingredients, it's packed with a 4x Hyaluronic Acid complex for deep hydration, a 3x Ceramide blend to support and strengthen the skin barrier, and Vitamin C to brighten and even skin tone. The result is that coveted glass skin finish, with a buildable, sun-kissed glow that develops at your pace. The lightweight, milky serum texture absorbs instantly, making it suitable for daily use and easy to layer under moisturiser, SPF, or makeup. It's non-comedogenic, suitable for sensitive skin, and delivers a micro-dose of colour with each use so there's no guesswork. The result is a gradual, natural-looking face tan that builds beautifully over time. For anyone exploring facial self-tanning for the first time, or looking for a more skin-loving alternative to traditional face tanning drops or face tan serums, Face Tan Milk makes it effortless.

How to Remove Self Tan Stains
Self-tanning is one of the easiest ways to get a natural-looking glow, and for the most part, it's a pretty mess-free experience. Occasionally, a little transfer on your sheets or a patch on your palms can happen, and when it does, it's almost always an easy fix. Here's everything you need to know. Why Does Self-Tan Sometimes Stain? Most self-tanners contain DHA (dihydroxyacetone), a colour additive that reacts with the top layer of your skin cells to create a tan. It's this same ingredient, combined with added bronzers and guide colours, that can occasionally transfer onto fabric or build up unevenly on the skin. The key to dealing with any self-tan marks, whether on your body or your bedding, is acting quickly. How to Remove Self-Tan from Skin Self-tan only sits on the surface layer of your skin, which means targeted exfoliation is all it takes to lift it. Bali Body's Express Tan Remover Scrub is the most effective way to remove self-tan from the body. Formulated with urea, pumice, and lactic acid, it lifts colour without harsh scrubbing, breaking down the tan at a surface level for a clean, even result. No orange patches. No effort required. Pair it with the Exfoliating Mitt for best results. The mitt buffs the skin evenly and helps the scrub work more efficiently across larger areas. How to Remove Self-Tan on Sheets The occasional bit of transfer on your sheets is nothing to worry about. What you're typically seeing is a combination of added bronzers, oils, and guide colour that can transfer before the product fully develops on skin. Don’t worry, it can come out easily. The main thing to keep in mind: wash sooner rather than later, and don't put anything in the dryer until the stain is fully gone. Heat can set stains, so it's worth checking first. For fresh transfer, throwing your sheets straight into a cold wash is usually all it takes. If anything remains after washing, let the sheets soak overnight in water with a stain-fighting detergent, then wash again. All dyes will come out with the right approach. For a more targeted pre-treatment, mix laundry detergent or dishwashing soap with cool water, blot the area with cold water, then gently dab with the solution. Avoid scrubbing, as this can work the stain further into the fabric. How to Remove Self-Tan on Clothes For machine-washable items, flush the back of the stained fabric with cold running water first, then dab with a solution of water and laundry detergent or dishwashing liquid, and launder as usual. Always check the stain has lifted before putting anything in the dryer. For delicate or dry-clean-only pieces, take them to a professional cleaner while the stain is still fresh. How to Remove Self-Tan on Carpet If you do get a little product on the carpet, blot rather than scrub. Mix two cups of water with one teaspoon of liquid dish soap and gently work it into the carpet from the outer edges inward. Continue blotting with a clean paper towel until the colour lifts, then rinse by blotting with a clean, damp towel. For older, set-in marks, a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water can help loosen the colour before following the steps above. Tips to Avoid Self Tan Stains in the First Place A few simple habits can make self-tanning even more seamless: Always apply self-tan using a Tanning Mitt to keep product off your palms and reduce transfer Allow your tan to fully dry before getting dressed or getting into bed Apply your tan in the morning or early afternoon where possible, giving it time to fully develop before you sleep Keep a set of darker sheets aside for tanning nights Want to Skip the Stain Worry Altogether? If the idea of any transfer at all puts you off, Bali Body's clear non-transfer self tan formulas are the answer. Clear Self Tanning Gel A lightweight, fast-absorbing gel enriched with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and aloe vera. It goes on clear, leaves zero trace on clothes or sheets, and develops a smooth, natural-looking glow over 4 to 6 hours. Available in a generous 400ml bottle, it's buildable, rinse-free, and suitable for all skin types. Clear 1 Hour Express Self Tan A whipped, aerated foam that works as both an express and a gradual tan. See results in as little as one hour, or build over days for a deeper bronze. Infused with niacinamide, glycerin, and vitamin E, it's lightweight, non-sticky, and completely transfer-free. Apply before bed or before getting dressed for total confidence.
