How To Master The No Make Up Look

From James Charles transforming Kylie Jenner into a skeleton for halloween to Nikkie Tutorials epic makeover videos, we all know that the power of make up is endless. 

A good foundation and contour kit can take you from an 8 to a solid 10 in less than 5 minutesHowever, sometimes stripping it back to basics and letting your natural beauty shine through is just as good. Not everyday calls for a full face of makeup, so we’re here to help you free your complexion from layers of primers, foundations, bronzers and highlighters, getting you back to your most natural you.

Scared? We hear you babe. Whether that’s because you suffer from pigmentation, you’ve started breaking out or because Friday night left you with dark circles as well as a hangover. Leaving the house with minimal coverage can be daunting. So here are some simple tips you can use everyday to ensure you feel better about ditching makeup for days on end.

Quality skincare is key

When we go makeup free, we still want to look radiant and fresh. The best way to replicate that MAC studio fix glow is by applying quality skincare filled with skin nourishing ingredients. We recommend using skincare high in Vitamin E. This powerful antioxidant is known to brighten the skin and reduce pigmentation. WIN! We promise your skin will reap in the benefits and in return leave you radiant and glowing. Ensuring you’re using quality products on your skin is essential for mastering the no makeup look this Spring. So don’t skimp on the good stuff babe, your skin deserves the royal treatment.

Your skin is your MVP

It’s time to put your best face forward and embrace your imperfections. Let your freckles and blemishes live their best life babe. We recommend using our BB Cream daily to complete your no makeup look. It leaves you with that ‘your skin, but better’ kinda finish. You won’t have to worry about your skin feeling weighed down or looking cakey with this product. It provides just enough coverage for everyday wear, leaving the skin looking fresh, dewy and illuminated. Use your fingertips to massage in our beauty balm for all day protection, hydration and naturally glowing skin.

Refine and define

Like amping up the sharpen effect on Instagram, defining your eyebrows and lashes can really transform your no makeup look. Add some shape to your brows with a cult fave brow pencil and a coat of your favourite mascara to give the illusion you weren't awake all night watching Riverdale. At BB HQ we are loving Better Than Sex by Too Faced.

Let's get lippy

Want to bring out that natural pink in your pout? We have just the trick for you and it’s probably already in your pantry. Mix together cayenne, ginger and cinnamon powder in a bowl. Add a teaspoon of coconut oil and mix well. These spicy ingredients will make the blood flow to your lips, leaving them with a perfectly natural shade of red. Apply to your lips for 2-5 minutes then wash off. To add hydration plus a pop of gloss, apply our Coconut Lip Balm then Waalaa! Plump, soft, pink lips minus the lipstick.

 


 

How to Maintain a Tan in Winter

How to Maintain a Tan in Winter

Winter doesn’t mean you can’t have a gorgeous glow, but it does require a particular focus on looking after the skin. Cold air, central heating, and lower humidity all work against hydration, leaving skin feeling dry, dull, and lacklustre. The good news is that maintaining a healthy, natural-looking glow through the colder months is entirely achievable with the right formulas in your routine. Here's how to keep your skin glowing all winter long, and the three Bali Body products that make it easy. How Do You Keep a Self Tan in Winter? Winter skin tends to be drier, which means self tan can fade faster and develop more unevenly without proper hydration. The key is choosing formulas with skin-loving ingredients that hydrate as they tan, keeping the skin barrier strong and your glow lasting longer. Why Winter Is Harder on Self Tan Dry skin absorbs self tan unevenly and causes it to fade faster, particularly in areas prone to dryness like the knees, elbows, and ankles. When the skin barrier is compromised by cold weather, products don't absorb as evenly, and colour can develop patchily or disappear within a few days. The solution is to switch to formulas that prioritise hydration alongside colour, treating the skin while building your tan rather than working against its winter condition. Self Tan Body Milk For a winter self tan that genuinely improves your skin over time, Self Tan Body Milk is the standout product. Formulated with 93% skincare ingredients, it functions as much as a treatment as it does a self tan, making it one of the most skin-loving options in the range. Key ingredients include a 4x Hyaluronic Acid complex for deep, lasting hydration, ceramides to support and strengthen the skin barrier, and Vitamin C to brighten and even skin tone. All three are particularly valuable in winter, when the skin barrier needs extra support and dullness is more likely to set in. The rinse-free formula absorbs quickly and fits seamlessly into an existing bodycare routine, replacing your regular winter moisturiser while building a natural-looking, hydrated self tan at the same time. With consistent use, skin feels noticeably softer and looks healthier, even in the depths of winter. Best for: dry or dehydrated winter skin that needs serious hydration alongside a buildable, natural-looking tan. Clear Self Tanning Gel For a lightweight winter tanning option that delivers a streak-free glow without any of the heaviness, the Clear Self Tanning Gel is a brilliant choice. The completely clear, zero-transfer formula goes on weightlessly and develops a smooth, natural-looking tan over 4 to 6 hours. Enriched with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and aloe vera, it hydrates and soothes the skin while colour develops, making it a solid option for winter skin that needs hydration without a rich or heavy texture. The rinse-free, zero-transfer formula means no mess on clothing or sheets, and at 400ml it's a generous size that lasts through the season. The buildable formula means you can adjust the depth of your glow as needed throughout winter, whether you want a barely-there base or a deeper colour to carry through into spring. Best for: those who want a lightweight, fuss-free winter self tan with hydrating ingredients and zero transfer. Gradual Tanning Butter For dry winter skin that needs the most intensive nourishment, the Gradual Tanning Butter is the richest and most restorative option in the range. This 4-in-1 formula hydrates, tans, illuminates, and repairs the skin in a single step, making it a genuinely skin-loving addition to any winter bodycare routine. Packed with niacinamide to strengthen the skin barrier and reduce redness, and shea butter for deep, lasting moisture, it addresses the most common winter skin complaints while building a subtle, buildable glow with every application. The colour develops gradually, so it's easy to maintain a natural-looking tan throughout the season without the need for frequent full applications. The rich, creamy texture is particularly well suited to winter, sitting comfortably on dry skin and delivering sustained hydration throughout the day. Apply daily as a body moisturiser and let the colour build over time. Best for: very dry or dull winter skin that needs rich nourishment and a gentle, gradual tan. How to Keep Your Winter Glow Looking Its Best A few simple habits make a real difference to how your self tan performs in winter. Exfoliate gently every one to two weeks using the Exfoliating Mitt to remove dry skin build-up before reapplying Moisturise daily to keep the skin hydrated between tan applications and help colour fade evenly Pay extra attention to dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles, applying a light moisturiser before tanning to slow absorption in these spots Apply self tan more frequently in winter if skin is particularly dry, as colour tends to fade faster when the skin barrier is compromised Layer the Gradual Tanning Butter over a mousse base to maintain and extend colour between full applications Which Winter Glow Product Is Right for You? For intensive skincare and tan in one step: Self Tan Body Milk For a lightweight, zero-transfer everyday glow: Clear Self Tanning Gel For rich nourishment and a gradual, buildable colour: Gradual Tanning Butter All three are formulated with skin-loving ingredients that make them particularly well suited to winter skin, and all are dermatologically and clinically tested safe for sensitive skin.

Best Tanning Oils For Dry Skin

Dry skin and tanning oils are a natural pairing. Unlike traditional sunscreens or lotions, tanning oils are formulated with rich, plant-based oils that deeply nourish and hydrate while helping you develop a natural, golden tan in the sun. For dry skin types in particular, a good tanning oil does double duty - protecting and bronzing while actively improving the skin's condition throughout the day. Here's a look at the best tanning oils for dry skin from Bali Body, and what makes each one worth knowing about. Are Tanning Oils Good for Dry Skin? Yes. Tanning oils are typically rich in nourishing plant-based oils like coconut oil, sweet almond oil, and grapeseed oil, making them one of the most hydrating options for outdoor tanning. They lock in moisture while helping the skin develop a deeper, more even natural tan. What to Look for in a Tanning Oil for Dry Skin The best tanning body oils for dry skin combine SPF protection with deeply hydrating ingredients.

Watermelon Tanning Oil SPF15 The Watermelon Tanning Oil SPF15 is one of Bali Body's most iconic products and a standout tanning oil for dry skin. Its base of grapeseed oil, coconut oil, and sweet almond oil delivers deep hydration from the moment you apply it, while the watermelon seed extract works to lock in moisture and boost the skin's natural melanin production for a deeper, more even sun tan. With SPF15 UVA and UVB protection, it keeps the skin shielded while you tan. Lightweight and fast-absorbing, it leaves the skin feeling nourished and glowing rather than greasy. Apply generously over your SPF for the best result. Best for: dry skin looking for deep hydration and a naturally enhanced sun tan. Cacao Tanning Oil SPF15 The Cacao Tanning Oil SPF15 is the best tanning oil for dry skin that wants an instant colour boost alongside long-term nourishment.

How to Apply Self Tan Without Streaks: A Step-by-Step Guide

How to Apply Self Tan Without Streaks: A Step-by-Step Guide

A streak-free self tan is less about luck and more about technique. The right prep, the right formula, and a few simple habits make all the difference between a patchy result and a flawless, natural-looking glow. How Do You Avoid Streaks When Self Tanning? Streaks happen when self tan is applied to uneven, dry, or unprepared skin. The solution is thorough exfoliation before tanning, clean and dry skin at application, and a formula with a colour guide so you can see exactly where you've applied. Step 1: Exfoliate at Least 24 Hours Before Tanning Exfoliation is the most important step in avoiding streaks. Buffing away dead skin cells creates a smooth, even surface for the tan to grip to, which means more even colour development and a longer-lasting result. Use the Exfoliating Mitt in the shower to gently buff all over, paying particular attention to the knees, elbows, ankles, and hands. These areas tend to absorb more product and can develop darker or patchier without proper prep. Exfoliate 24 hours before rather than right before tanning. This gives the skin time to return to its natural pH, which helps colour develop more evenly. Step 2: Skip the Shave on Tan Day Shave or wax at least 24 hours before tanning. Freshly shaved skin has open pores that can absorb self tan unevenly, leading to a speckled finish. Timing it right means your tan develops smoothly and lasts longer. Step 3: Keep Skin Clean and Product-Free Moisturisers, oils, deodorant, and perfume can all create a barrier that prevents self tan from developing evenly. Shower beforehand and apply your self tan to completely clean, dry skin with nothing else underneath. Step 4: Moisturise Dry Areas Before applying, dab a small amount of lightweight moisturiser onto dry areas like the elbows, knees, ankles, and hands. This slows product absorption in these spots and helps colour develop more evenly. Step 5: Choose a Formula with a Colour Guide A tinted formula lets you see exactly where you've applied product as you go, making it easy to spot missed areas before they develop. The Bali Body Self Tanning Mousse and the 1 Hour Express Self Tan both feature colour guide technology, making them two of the easiest streak-free options available. The guide colour washes off in the shower, leaving a smooth, natural-looking bronze behind. Step 6: Apply Using a Tanning Mitt Use the Luxe Tanning Mitt and apply in long, sweeping motions over larger areas, and circular motions around joints. For tricky spots like the neck and décolletage, the Body Blending Brush helps buff in product seamlessly. Always use less product around dry areas like knees, elbows, and ankles. Step 7: Blend the Edges and Wash Your Hands Pay close attention to the hairline, wrists, ankles, and between the fingers and toes. Use the remaining product on your mitt to lightly blend into these areas. Wash your hands thoroughly after to avoid stained palms. Step 8: Let It Dry Before Getting Dressed Allow your self tan to fully dry before putting on clothing. Opt for loose, dark clothing if you need to get dressed quickly, and avoid tight waistbands or straps that can rub the product off before it sets. How to Maintain a Streak-Free Tan Moisturise daily to help the tan fade evenly Avoid long baths or heavy sweating in the first 24 hours Use Gradual Tan or Self Tan Body Milk between applications to maintain colour Before reapplying, use the Exfoliating Mitt and Express Tan Remover Scrub to remove old tan first Shop the full range online here.
