(hot) take on the tan: Bali Body’s Gradual Face Tan is designed to be incorporated into your daily skincare routine to nourish, hydrate, and build a natural bronze complexion. When used daily, skin is left with a soft glow. The daily moisturizer is great for those who want a continuous glow that will remain in-tact and even, even when you exfoliate regularly. The best part? It’s much easier and less messy than mixing tanning drops with a daily moisturizer. It’s a one-step routine that will give you an amazing glow over just a few hours.

how we applied: On the face: after cleansing, I lathered about one to two pumps evenly on the face and went on to apply my makeup.

brand background: Australian-based Bali Body is an influencer and Instagram favorite as it boasts over one million followers. The brand’s following can be attributed to the beautiful, luxurious looking tans the products deliver, as well as the nourishing ingredients they’re infused with.
