SUNLESS, BACKED BY SCIENCE
A dual tanning complex meets four high-performance skincare actives—because self-tan should bring more to the table.
Lactic Acid
Exfoliant
Gently removes dead skin for smoother texture and more even, streak-free color.
Squalane
Barrier
Supports the skin barrier and enhances natural radiance.
Niacinamide
Even Tone
Evens skin tone, minimizes pores, reduces post-blemish marks — improves over time.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hydration
Draws moisture deep into skin for lasting plumpness and glow overnight.
Signature Scent
Fragrance
Sandalwood, Bergamot, & Vanilla — light and clean, not your typical self-tanner smell.
"Our Best Mask pick puts skincare on the forefront and develops and fades naturally, never splotchy."
"Both of these products give me the most gorgeous faux tan, they are so easy to apply, and they don't leave a strong scent."
"MSK Labs The Quickie, a customizable tanning gel created by celebrity spray tanner Mishel Chernyavskiy, gives a golden glow in as little as 30 minutes."
"MSK Labs bridges self-tanning and skincare in one formula."

"MSK Labs launches with patent-pending formulas that combine tanning actives with clinically relevant skincare ingredients like hyaluronic acid, lactic acid, squalane, and niacinamide."
"This overnight tanning mask gives me the same just-back-from-vacation look while I sleep, and I wake up with a natural-looking, subtle bronze that makes my skin look healthy and radiant."
"MSK Labs is a sunless tanning brand designed to bring together skincare and self-tanning while introducing a prestige aesthetic to a category long associated with brightly colored bottles and beach imagery."
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.
BEFOREAFTER
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.

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