Bali Body Self Tan Body Mist

Don’t have the kind of time to douse yourself in traditional tan? Waiting all that time, especially when the formula doesn’t dry out, can be a prepping nightmare. Luckily with this latest Bali Body release you don’t need to worry about any of that. With no fake tan smell and a non-transferable, dry touch formulation, you’ll finally be free of that awkward sticky, stinky tan dance you do under the fan hoping it will dry quicker. This ‘true to tone’ tan develops over the course of four to six hours with a miraculous no need to wash off. It gets better, too: this mist is enriched with skin-loving ingredients of vitamin E and 100 per cent natural DHA which work to hydrate, repair and soothe your skin. Who would’ve thought putting on a tan could be so good for your skin?!

Lipo-Sachets

Sure we’re aware we need to be slathering vitamin C over our skin for the ultimate glow, and we know to take it in the dead of winter when everyone around us is falling ill. But how about on the regular? Well as the body can’t produce its own vitamin C this high-dose, easy-to-take formula is a necessary supplement. The patented Liposhell technology (used across the brand) allows for maximum absorption across the body’s lymphatic system.
