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, 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.

Product Reviews
- LTLauren T.Verified BuyerI recommend this productSkin Tone MediumRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoBest tan!
I’ve been tanning for around 25 years, I’ve used nearly every brand on the market. As I have dry skin, tans often fade terribly on me but this tan goes on so well, not streaky, leaves my skin moisturised and fades great too! It’s a great natural tan, if I build it, I use the Bali body tan remover which is also the best tan remover I’ve ever used! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We're absolutely thrilled to hear that after 25 years of tanning, our Gradual Tanning Butter has become your go-to!

- LDLoren D. S.Verified BuyerI recommend this productSkin Tone FairRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoOvernight results
I’ve been using for a few days and I got surprised seeing results in the first day I used. I used at night and in the morning I was slightly tanned, like a very natural beautiful tan. Then continued using it and I saw progress every day. In my opinion I use it for 3 days and then 2 days I don’t use it simply because it started getting to orangish, which I don’t prefer. So if I use it for 3 days and stop for 2 is what gives me the results I like it

It sounds like you've found the perfect routine with using it for 3 days then taking a 2 day break - that's exactly the kind of natural, beautiful tan we love to hear about xx
- APAlison P.Verified BuyerI recommend this productSkin Tone MediumRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoGradual tanning butter
Love love love this! I use the express foam tan shade dark. I live in Spain and like to have natural hydrating ingredients in a self tanner. This body butter feels luxurious and it’s kind to my skin o will repurchase. Love it 🤍
Was this helpful? - AAngelI recommend this productSkin Tone MediumRated 4 out of 5 stars1 month agoGreat for dry skin
This one I love using when my skin gets dry in the colder months. It does have a shimmer to it , like flecks of gold which is ok. I’m just one of those people why aren’t too crazy about sparkles on me. But overall very creamy, does what it says, moisturizing. And if you’re not looking for a dark tan this is for you. It just adds a nice touch of color.
