Achieving a flawless, natural-looking tan at home doesn’t have to be tricky. The secret? A tanning mitt. Using a mitt instead of gloves or bare hands ensures an even, streak-free application while keeping your hands clean. Here’s why a tanning mitt is a must-have for your self-tanning routine.
Why a Tanning Mitt is Better Than Gloves
Many people try gloves or bare hands, but a tanning mitt is specifically designed to:
-
Provide an even application
The soft, velvety surface distributes self-tan smoothly across your skin.
-
Prevent staining
Mitts protect your hands from absorbing excess product, avoiding patchy or discoloured palms.
-
Be beginner-friendly
Slip it on, blend in circular motions, and achieve a professional-looking tan, even if it’s your first time.
Unlike gloves, which can sometimes leave streaks or uneven results, a quality tanning mitt ensures a natural, flawless finish every time.
How to Apply Fake Tan with a Mitt
Follow these simple steps for a streak-free tan:
-
Exfoliate First
Use an Activated Charcoal Exfoliating Mitt to remove dead skin and prep your body for self-tan.
-
Apply Your Tan
Put your hand into a Tanning Application Mitt and apply your favourite Le Tan product, such as 1 Hour Express Extreme Dark Tanning Foam, in circular motions, one body part at a time.
-
Tan Your Back Easily
For hard-to-reach areas, use a 2-in-1 Tanning Mitt & Back Applicator to apply tan effortlessly to your back.
-
Clean Your Mitt
Wash in warm water, hang to dry, and store for reuse.
