Bali Body Launches new Instant Tan

Bali Body has launched their newest item and Instant Tanning Cream. It has an incredibly lightweight formula, mimicking the consistency of your everyday moisturiser. The Instant Tanning Cream seamlessly sinks into your skin, leaving behind a gorgeous matte, bronzed finish that's to die for. Plus, it's infused with a natural brown tone that's universally flattering on all skin tones – talk about a win-win! And let's not forget the best part: the lightning-fast drying formula means you can slather it on right before dashing out the door for those spontaneous plans without missing a beat. 

The Instant Tanning Cream is packed with skin-loving essentials, including Vitamin E, renowned for its ability to promote skin cell renewal, resulting in a smoother, more even tan. Jojoba Oil steps in to offer soothing relief and aid in skin repair, while also providing a burst of hydration and reducing redness. And let's not forget about lactic acid, which works wonders by perfecting the skin, lightening dark spots, and smoothing out fine lines. 

The formula is splash-resistant, ensuring your tan stays put through all your adventures. And when it's time to bid adieu to your sun-kissed look, simply wash it away with ease using soap and water. It's effortless beauty at its finest!
