Bali Body Gradual Tanning Butter

I like to use gradual tanners to both extend the life of my fake tan , and i like to also use it as a base the night before i apply self tanner. Yes i know most would not recomnd doing this but for me its the only way i get the color payout im looking for. My self tan struggle right now is self tanners arent what they used to be. They are all either Green based which turns me green , violet based…. Which turns me green , and the only tan on the market that gives that true beautiful brown color thar i love is loving tan , which USED to be my favorite but now it seems to fade SO patchy But also becomes impossible to scrub off to start over. Anyways ive bern struggaling to perfect my tan this summer , so i started using a gradual tanner to give myself a base color the day before i self tan ( i hop in the shower the morning of the self tan and jusr wash in cool water , no shaving as i already shave and exfoliate the night before) and this does help with the color but the issue i always have with gradual tans is they are never hydrating enough . Im just not a lotion kinda gal. My skin needs butters and oils to truly feel hydratee so what i really like sbout this one is not only does it give great color payoff after just 2 uses , it also helps me be more consistent with use becuase i no longer feel i have to choose between deepening my tan , or caring for my tan by hydrating it. You can literally fo both with this product . Because it is a butter you will really have to work it into your skin and i suggest using gloves , but its so buttery and shimmery you will literally forget its a gradual tanner, it guved you such s beautiful glow. All in all i will absolutely repurchse. Again not needing to choise between hydration and color payoff is a game changer for me

I have not been a fan of sunless tanners in the past they've always been streaky and orange and gross looking. This stuff is amazing for my skin! No patches, or streaks or orange mess FINALLY! This is super moisturizing and I didn't appt with a glove at all and no streaks. Also no transfer noticed with stuff at all. So natural looking!! My method was applying just like I do any other body butter (I didn't use circular motions like suggested), I used it in the evening and then woke up in the morning and showered off to reveal such a pretty, natural color! It was darker than I expected as well. You definitely smell like after tan with this for a couple days but I don't mind it. It lasted almost a week after shower every single day. I just love it! Going back for more:)

Very blotchy .lLooks fake . If I had the receipt I would take it back for a refund.

Very moisturizing and fast color (not super gradual). Because it is so moisturizing, you get streaks if you can't give it time to dry. For me, that defeats the purpose of a GRADUAL tan but if you aren't super pale like me it might not as noticeable.

I used to use the Bondi Sands gradual tanning milk lotion and was expecting something more like that but this one had instant results. Not necessarily a bad thing but a bit more orangey in color than I was expecting. Smell is pretty terrible though.
