What base colour is the Violet Express?
Violet Express features a violet-based self tan. Violet undertones are ideal for anyone seeking a deep, olive finish, as they help neutralise yellow and orange hues to deliver a rich, chocolate-toned result.
What is the difference between the Ultra Dark Express and the Violet Express?
Ultra Dark Express is formulated with a green-based colour guide, which appears on application but does not reflect the final tan. This green tone may be more noticeable on lighter skin tones, but it develops into a natural-looking glow and works to balance red undertones for a bronzed finish. Violet Express, on the other hand, uses a violet base to achieve similarly deep results with a more olive-toned payoff.
How long should I leave the Violet Express on for?
Violet Express can be worn for between 1 and 3 hours, depending on the depth of colour you’re after. Leaving the tan on for longer will allow it to develop darker.
Does the Violet Express dry quickly?
Violet Express is an aerated foam that absorbs faster than traditional tanning mousses. This results in a quick-drying application and a lightweight, touch-dry finish.
Is this self tanner made with natural DHA?
Yes. Like all of our self tanners, Violet Express is formulated using 100% natural DHA.
What natural ingredients are in the Violet Express?
The Violet Mousse is enriched with skin-loving ingredients including niacinamide, glycerin and vitamin E.
Can I apply multiple layers of the Violet Express?
Yes, Violet Express can be layered to build your desired level of colour. Typically, 1–3 layers per application are recommended for optimal results.
Can you use the Violet Express self tanner on your face?
For the face, we recommend using our Face Tan Mist. The Bali Body Face Tan Mist is a skincare-infused self tanning formula specifically designed to gently and evenly tan the face and neck.
Step 1: For an even streak free tan, exfoliate prior to application, moisturise any dry areas including elbows, knees, ankles and feet.
Step 2: Shake well. For best results, apply using a tanning mitt in long sweeping motions, starting at the ankles and working your way up. Then move towards your back and apply in the same motion. Ensure all areas are covered before lightly gliding any excess tan from the mitt over your hands and feet.
Step 3: Wash off after 1 hour for a light-to-medium glow, or leave on 2–3 hours for a deep, dark tan. Pat dry and allow skin to fully dry before dressing.
Get a rich, olive-toned glow fast with Violet 1 Hour Express Self Tan. Its violet base counteracts yellow and orange tones while hydrating with Vitamin E, Niacinamide, and Pentavitin® for even, long-lasting color. Fast-drying, transfer-resistant, and streak-free, it delivers a seamless, customisable tan every time.

Product Reviews
- Sanna V.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars36 minutes agoSo nice 🥹
I loooove the product! Applies so smoothly and easily & dries immediately (for me that’s a must). Does not stain and stays on nicely if you remember to moisturize your skin every day🫶🏼 Leaves a nice colour if you keep it over 8hours, otherwise the colour might be lighter. Have to take one star away, because the bottle ”broke” before I used everything (the stuff was stuck inside the can and did not come out, even tho I tried everything) 😭 idk if anyone else had this problem…

I’m really pale. Like vampire pale, and this makes me look like I’ve been tanning for weeks. Like I’m glowing. And it doesn’t look orange or anything. It also doesn’t dry streaky or patchy
