HOW IT WORKS

01

Cleanse & Dry

Start with clean, dry, completely bare skin—no lotions, oils or skincare. Apply 2–3 pumps evenly to the face before bed, then wash hands immediately.
02

Sleep

Let The Night Affair absorb and develop overnight with zero transfer. Your skin gets the benefits while you get your beauty sleep.
03

Rinse in the morning

Use 2-3 times a week or whenever you want an overnight glow. For a richer, more intense color, apply nightly until your ideal tan develops.
AFTER BEFORE

Before you get glowing

Will this turn my skin orange?

No. The Night Affair uses a low level of DHA paired with erythrulose, so color develops gradually into a natural bronze tone — never orange. Applied as directed, it's streak-free and fades evenly.

Will it transfer to my pillowcase?

No. There's no bronzer or color guide and the DHA level is low, so it's built to work overnight without transferring onto your pillow. Just apply to clean, dry skin, wash your hands, and let it absorb before bed.

Is it safe for acne-prone skin?

Yes. The gel formula is non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) and dermatologist-approved, and it's actually recommended for dry, dehydrated, and acne-prone skin. It's powered by niacinamide, lactic acid, hyaluronic acid, and squalane.

How long does the tan last?

On the face, the tan lasts about 3 days on average (typically 2–5). Facial skin is cleansed and exfoliated more often, so color fades a little faster compared to the body. Natural oils in the skin play a big factor too.

How long does one bottle last?

One bottle lasts approximately 3 months when used 3 times per week.

What's the difference vs The Quickie?

The Night Affair is made for the face — an overnight treatment mask with a lower DHA level and no bronzer, for a soft, buildable glow you rinse off in the morning. The Quickie is made for the body — an express gel with a higher level of tanning agents that is customized by how long it is left on. The quickie can also be used on the face for an instantly deeper tone.

What tan depth should I expect with the Night Affair?

The Night Affair is a light, gradual facial self-tanner designed as skincare to build natural-looking color over time and give you glass skin. After one night, results may be very subtle depending on your starting skin tone.

For a deeper result, apply a few extra pumps or use it nightly until you reach your desired shade. Looking for noticeably darker color? Try The Quickie—it has also been tested for use on the face.

Customer photo review of The Bundle

So quick drying and easy application. I love the face treatment too and it smells amazing!

The Bundle

I have used a lot of sunless tanning lotions over the years! Hands down this tanning brand is the best.

The Bundle

So far, so good. Color could be deeper, but I've never used a self tanner with less odor (even the day after you can barely smell it🙌🏼). The facial tanner gives a nice subtle glow too! Will purchase again!

The Bundle

Amazing amazing product! I’m a self tan addict and this product is the best on the market. I love how it has skincare in it so it doesn’t dry out my skin and the application is fool proof - 10/10 recommend

The Bundle

Doeant work.

The Bundle

natural color you can layer over skincare at night. Doesn’t transfer onto white pillows!

The Night Affair

Beautiful cool natural color. Easy gel like formula that feels good on the skin. Holds up in the pool. Please make daily gradual tanner 🙏❤️

The Bundle

Really love it so far, I’m super pale for reference and I feel like this is such a natural glowy bronze color. I started off light but excited to use more!

The Bundle

Best ever

The Bundle

Not orange! Easy to apply

The Bundle

Using the self tanner was so easy and I love the results. It looked really natural. I definitely would re-purchase.

The Bundle

Best self tanner I’ve tried in the past 2 years. No orange residue. Love the color result. Only issue is a wish there was more product, as I can see this going very quickly this summer.

The Quickie

Great product. Easy to use and great tanning results without the mess. Leaves skin nicely bronzed without any orange residue. Will purchase again.

Tanning Mitt

Obsessed with everything!! Especially the self tanner. It’s the most gorgeous color..It looks just like skin that’s been kissed by the sun. So natural, bronzed, and beautiful🤎🤎

The Bundle

Absolutely love the night affair! It’s so lightweight and smells amazing! Definitely helped me ease into self tanning because it’s so easy to apply and I love that my face finally matches my body! Highly recommend and can’t wait to try the quickie!

The Night Affair

Loved the smooth application process with the mitt and absolutely no smell! Will definitely recommend your product to family & friends.

The Bundle

The texture is so gorg, a little goes such a long way. It’s not sticky and it doesn’t have that self tanner smell.

The Quickie

SO soft and nothing bleeds through like other tanning mitts

Tanning Mitt

Literally love this… feels amazing on the skin and gives a quick beautiful glow. Highly recommend!

The Bundle

I’ve been a loyal client of MSK NY since the very beginning, so when Mishel launched The Night Affair and The Quickie, I knew I had to try them. The Night Affair feels like the softest, most luxurious moisturizer and smells incredible. It glides on effortlessly, and even with my acne-prone skin, I’ve never seen such a smooth, healthy glow. The Quickie is just as amazing. The beautiful blue tanning mitt is so soft and it makes applying the product completely foolproof. Within just a few hours my skin was glowing like I had just come back from vacation! Plus, I’ve had zero transfer onto my clothes or bedding, which is a huge win. I can’t wait to keep using these products!

The Bundle

Loved this brand! The night affair gave me glass skin and is a staple in my nighttime routine now and the quickie made me perfectly glowy and sun-kissed! Fade is so even you don’t notice it.

The Bundle

It’s perfect for easy application!

Tanning Mitt

I have never once applied a self tanner without it being a blotchy mess UNTIL NOW. Holy ****, goes on so smooth, smells great and you dont even feel sticky. Holy grail status for sure!

The Bundle

Needed a quick tanning fix before a wedding and absolutely love these. Super easy and quick. I was literally glowing in an instant.

The Bundle

BEGINNER FRIENDLY!!! I put on The Quickie before an event and was going to cross my fingers it came out nicely. Not only was I GLOWING but the tan continued to develop at the party. I got so many compliments. I finally found a self-tanner with no streaks, doesn’t fade patchy and it goes on your skin so smoothly. My favorite aspect of the products were the effects it had on my skin. I have had Keratosis Polaris on the back of my arms my whole life and yet this self tanner (and following proper moisturizing instructions) has nearly cleared it up entirely. I am truly blown away.

The Bundle

Loveeeee this product! I love how lightweight it feels and my tan looks NATURAL! Also I have sensitive skin so I’m happy I found something that doesn’t irate my skin & it actually feels like I’m doing a skin care treatment :) love this product

The Night Affair

As a very pale girly, this product is amazing. I now use it every week to keep the tan going. I love that it doesn’t streak as it fades, it smells divine! Easy application with the glove. It doesn’t transfer to any of my clothes. It doesn’t make you look orange at all. 10/10 I cannot recommend this product enough to friends and family.

The Quickie

Theres enough product for maybe 3 uses. Way over priced for what you get.
