Frequently Asked Questions
What Base Colour is the 1 Hour Express Ultra Dark?
Our 1 Hour Express Ultra Dark Self Tan is a green based self tan. This is the most popular self tan base colour and it looks great on most skin types, giving it a natural tan finish. The only thing turning green is the bronzer, which is a temporary colour, this is what is washed off in the morning after you've allowed your tan to develop. The green tone is the initial colour guide application and not the final result. The colour base can be more apparent in lighter skin tones but will develop into a lovely golden bronze.
What shade will the 1 Hour Express Ultra Dark develop into?
The 1 Hour Express Ultra Dark will develop into your most natural, darkest tint for your skin tone.
Does the 1 Hour Express Ultra Dark dry quickly?
The 1 Hour Express Ultra Dark is an aerated foam which dries on the skin quicker than a Self Tanning Mousse, making it a touch dry self tanning solution.
Can you leave the 1 Hour Express Ultra Dark on the skin for longer than 1 Hour?
While the 1 Hour Express Ultra Dark will provide a natural tint within just 1 hour. You can customise the 1 Hour Express Ultra Dark to suit your preferred shade of bronze. For a natural tan, rinse after 1 hour. For a deeper tan, leave on for 3 + hours. Your full tan results will continue to develop for 10 - 22+ hours post rinsing.
What is the best way to apply the 1 Hour Express Ultra Dark?
We recommend using the Bali Body Luxe Tanning Mitt to ensure a smooth, streak free self tan and minimal product wastage.
How long will the 1 Hour Express Self Tanning Foam last on my skin?
The 1 Hour Express Ultra Dark will last approximately 5-7 days when used in conjunction with daily application of a moisturising body lotion. Hydrated skin will ensure a longer lasting tan. We recommend using our Antixiodant Body Whip which has been formulated to assist in extending your self tan.
Can you use the Hour Express Ultra Dark on your face?
While the 1 Hour Express Ultra Dark contains nourishing oils making it extremely gentle to apply to the face, we recommend using any of our face self tanners for an even better result.
How many applications will I get from one bottle of 1 Hour Express Ultra Dark?
One bottle of the 1 Hour Express Ultra Dark will provide approximately 6-8 full body coats. Usage depends on each individuals application.
Is the 1 Hour Express Ultra Dark pregnancy safe?
Yes this product is safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, however we always recommend consulting with a healthcare professional if you have concerns.
Product Reviews
- TBTracey B.Verified BuyerI recommend this productSkin Tone FairRated 4 out of 5 stars7 hours agoFast and clean
Love this product for being clear -you can apply it and go about your day.
A little hard to see where you have already applied as it's clear so be methodical with application.
Still experimenting with time left on as it can come up a bit orange if left on the full 3 hours. 1/2 seems to be the sweet spot for a more natural look.
I don't think the colour lasts as long as the tinted either, but for the beauty of no staining deffo worth a go.

Thanks so much for the amazing review! We're thrilled you're loving how clear and clean the Express Self Tan is! 💕 - TLTina L.Verified BuyerI recommend this productSkin Tone FairRated 5 out of 5 stars2 days agoNatural beautiful tan
I’m a long time user of St. Tropez express so this caught my eye. But this tan is so easy to use and leaves you with the most beautiful natural tan. I’m very fair and have freckles and it still looks natural. I’d wish I could get a bit darker from this but that’s on me not the tan. Will definitely buy again and again. I love how it’s not orange in any way. So natural.

Thanks so much for the amazing review! We're thrilled you're loving the Deep Violet Express Self Tan and that gorgeous natural glow! 💕 - KKamVerified BuyerI do not recommend this productSkin Tone FairRated 2 out of 5 stars1 week agoFirst time?
I’ve never used Bali Body, but I’ve been a consistent self tanner for YEARS. I’ve tried every brand, and I was super excited to try this one. Especially because I am so fair and wanted to try something that made me not orange.
I left it on for 3 hours and I have no color at all. Going to try it again and see if maybe it’s a fluke but overall afraid I got a bad bottle because I’ve seen nothing but good reviews.

Been using this for a couple of years and I use weekly
Live how it’s so fast
Only thing I would want is that they remove the alcohol as it can become drying on skin. But still best tan I have found that’s fast

I got as a gift for my birthday and don’t get me wrong the tan it self is great, applies smoothly, and gives good results. However, when I opened it the pump dispenser cap had broken off while everything else was in tact. So to get the tan out each pump I had to line the cap up as best as I could and push to get tan out, was very messy and inconvenient. Very upsetting because the tan is very good but it was broken
