MSK LABS | the quickie — express self-tanning gel
SIZE: 5.07 fl oz / 150 mL
Good color. Bad decisions not required.
The Quickie is an express self-tanning gel made for people who want the bronze without the sun damage—or the orange aftermath. The fast-absorbing formula delivers customizable, natural-looking color while niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, squalane + lactic acid bring actual skincare into the equation.
Your rinse time controls your depth, from barely-there warmth to a deeper bronze. And even after you rinse, the color continues developing for another 8–12 hours.
Fast. Non-sticky. Skincare-forward. Exactly how we like our fake tan.
WHY WE LOVE IT
Because self-tanner shouldn't require sacrificing your skin. The Quickie combines DHA + erythrulose with ingredients we'd actually want in a body formula, giving you hydration + customizable color in one seriously easy gel.
BEST FOR
Pale skin needing a little life • Customizable sunless color • Light to deep tans • Anyone avoiding UV exposure • Self-tan beginners + pros
HOW TO USE
Start with clean, completely dry skin with no lotion, oil, deodorant or other body products. Apply a small amount at a time with the MSK Labs Tanning Mitt, blending evenly from the neck down. Use only the product remaining on the mitt for hands + feet.
Choose your commitment level:
LIGHT: 30 minutes–1 hour
MEDIUM: 2–3 hours
DARK: 4–5 hours
EXTRA DARK: 6–8 hours
Rinse after your chosen development time. Color will continue developing for approximately 8–12 hours after rinsing.
THE METHOD TIP
Exfoliate the day before—or at least a few hours before—you tan. And go easy on hands, feet, knees + elbows. Those areas don't need nearly as much product as you think they do.
KEY INGREDIENTS
DHA + Erythrulose • Niacinamide • Hyaluronic Acid • Squalane • Lactic Acid • Shea Butter
