How to Prepare Your Skin Before Self Tanning
The secret to a flawless, long-lasting self tan isn't just the formula you use, it's how you prep your skin beforehand. Taking a little extra time before you tan makes a real difference to how evenly the colour develops, how smoothly it applies, and how well it holds over time. Here's everything you need to know about pre-tan prep, and the two Bali Body tools that make it easy. Why Skin Prep Matters Self tan develops by reacting with the outermost layer of your skin cells. When that layer is uneven, full of dry patches, product build-up, or old tan, the colour has an uneven surface to work with. That’s where streaks, patchiness, and dark spots can creep in. A properly prepped, smooth, and hydrated skin surface gives your tan the best possible base to develop evenly and fade gracefully. Step One: Remove Old Tan Before applying a fresh self tan, it's worth removing any remaining colour from your last application. This avoids build-up, ensures even colour development, and prevents any old patchiness from showing through your new tan. The Express Tan Remover Scrub is the most effective way to do this. Unlike a standard body scrub, this formula combines physical and chemical exfoliants (pumice and lactic acid) to actively break down the self tan colour rather than just scrubbing it away. This means less effort and less risk of irritating the skin in the process. To use, apply the scrub directly to dry skin and leave it for 1 to 3 minutes to allow the formula to work into the tan. Then step into the shower and use the Exfoliating Mitt to gently buff away the old colour in circular motions. The result is clean, smooth skin with no traces of old tan. Also infused with grapefruit peel oil and urea, it leaves the skin feeling soft and supple, not stripped. Step Two: Exfoliate for a Smooth Canvas Even when there's no old tan to remove, exfoliating before self tanning is one of the most effective steps you can take. Buffing away dead skin cells creates a smooth, even surface for the tan to grip to, helping it develop more uniformly and last longer. The Exfoliating Mitt is designed exactly for this. Used in the shower on damp skin, it gently buffs the skin's surface without over-stripping it. Pay particular attention to naturally dry and rough areas including the elbows, knees, ankles, and hands, as these tend to absorb more colour and can turn darker without proper prep. For best results, exfoliate 24 hours before tanning rather than immediately before. This gives the skin time to settle back to its natural pH, which helps the self tan develop more evenly. Step Three: Moisturise Dry Areas Once you've exfoliated, apply a light moisturiser to any particularly dry areas before tanning. Dry skin absorbs more product and can result in darker, patchier colour in those spots. A small amount of moisturiser on the elbows, knees, ankles, and hands helps create a barrier so the tan develops more evenly across these areas. Step Four: Apply to Clean, Dry Skin When you're ready to tan, make sure the skin is completely dry before application. Any moisture on the skin can dilute the formula and lead to an uneven result. Apply your chosen Bali Body self tan using the Luxe Tanning Mitt and blend in long, sweeping motions for a streak-free finish. Shop the Exfoliating Mitt and Express Tan Remover Scrub online now.

The Best Self Tan for Sensitive Skin
Finding a self tan for sensitive skin can feel like a challenge. Many formulas leave the skin feeling dry or irritated which puts a lot of people off trying self tan altogether. The good news is that the right formula makes all the difference, and every product in the Bali Body range is designed with exactly this in mind. Is Bali Body Safe for Sensitive Skin? Yes. The entire Bali Body self tan range is dermatologically and clinically tested and safe for sensitive skin. Every formula is made with naturally derived ingredients, is 100% cruelty free, and is developed to be gentle enough for daily use across all skin types. Whether you're new to self tanning or have struggled to find a formula that agrees with your skin in the past, Bali Body is a range built with you in mind. Why Skin Barrier Health Matters for Self Tanning For sensitive skin in particular, a healthy skin barrier is everything. When the skin barrier is compromised, it's more prone to reacting to new products, absorbing ingredients unevenly, and developing dry or patchy areas. A well-nourished, hydrated skin barrier not only helps protect against irritation but also creates a smoother, more even base for self tan to develop on. These products are some of the best self tan for sensitive skin in the Bali Body range, thanks to their skin-loving, barrier-supporting formulas. Gradual Tanning Butter For sensitive skin that leans dry, the Gradual Tanning Butter is one of the most nourishing self tan options available. This 4-in-1 formula hydrates, tans, illuminates, and repairs the skin in a single step, making it a genuinely skin-loving addition to your daily routine. Enriched with niacinamide and shea butter, it deeply moisturises while building a subtle, buildable glow over time. The gradual formula means there's no sudden colour payoff to worry about, just a slow, natural-looking tan that develops at your pace. For sensitive skin types who want a streak-free tan without the risk of irritation, this is an ideal starting point. Self Tan Body Milk The Self Tan Body Milk is one of Bali Body's most popular formulas, and it's easy to see why it resonates so strongly with sensitive skin types. Formulated with 93% skincare ingredients, it functions as much as a treatment as it does a self tan. 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. The rinse-free formula absorbs easily into the skin, making it simple to incorporate into an existing skincare or bodycare routine. For those who want a hydrated self tan that actively works to improve skin condition over time, Self Tan Body Milk is the one. Gradual Tan The Gradual Tan is a lightweight daily lotion that builds a natural-looking glow with each application, making it one of the best self tans for sensitive skin. Because colour develops gradually rather than all at once, it gives you full control over depth while minimising the chance of an uneven or reactive result. Its moisturising texture blends effortlessly into the skin and supports hydration with every use. For those who want to ease into self tanning or prefer a low-commitment, buildable formula they can work into their everyday routine, this is a brilliant option. Tips for Self Tanning with Sensitive Skin A few simple habits can help ensure the best possible result. Always patch test a new formula before applying it all over. Exfoliate gently 24 hours before tanning using the Exfoliating Mitt to create a smooth, even base without over-stripping the skin. Keep skin well moisturised leading up to application, paying particular attention to dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles. And after your tan has developed, maintain hydration daily to keep both your skin barrier and your glow in the best condition. Find Your Sensitive Skin Self Tan With the full Bali Body range dermatologically and clinically tested safe for sensitive skin, there's no reason to miss out on a natural-looking, streak-free tan.
