READ MOREA tanning brush is used to apply self-tanning products evenly across the skin, ensuring a streak-free and smooth finish. Its bristles help blend the product seamlessly, reaching difficult areas and providing a consistent tan all over the body.
Using a tan brush can significantly enhance your self-tanning routine. Here are the key benefits that make it an essential tool for achieving a flawless tan:
· Even Application – Using a tan buffing brush ensures the tanning product is spread uniformly, creating a balanced tan.
· Prevents Streaks and Patchiness - Provides smooth, consistent coverage, avoiding common issues with other methods.
· Reaches Difficult Areas – Tanning brushes allow easy application to hard-to-reach spots like the back for a uniform tan.
· Seamless Blending - Blends the self-tanner into the skin effectively, avoiding visible lines.
· Controlled Product Use - Offers better control over product amount, preventing over-application.
· Reduces Waste – Tan brushes minimises product wastage by applying the right amount needed.
· Improves Absorption and Drying - Enhances absorption and speeds up drying time, reducing transfer to clothing or bedding.
To use a tanning brush, follow these steps:
· Exfoliate - Before applying self-tanner, exfoliate your skin to remove dead skin cells. This helps the tanner apply evenly.
· Moisturise - Apply a light moisturiser to dry areas such as elbows, knees, ankles, and wrists to prevent them from absorbing too much tanner.
· Dispense Tanner - Put a small amount of self-tanner or tanning mousse on the tan brush or directly on the skin.
· Spread Evenly - Using the tan buffing brush, spread the tanner evenly over your skin in circular motions. This helps blend the tanner smoothly and avoid streaks.
· Cover All Areas - Ensure you cover all desired areas, paying extra attention to blending at joints and around edges.
· Blend Thoroughly - Use the tan brush to blend the tanner well into your skin, especially around tricky areas like the knees and elbows. For a natural look, feather the tanner outward from the centre of each area to avoid harsh lines.
· Wash the Tan Brush - After use, clean your tanning brush with mild soap and water. Let it air dry before storing it.
Using these steps will help you achieve a smooth and even tan with a tan buffing brush. If you need more guidance on using the tanning brush, visit your nearest O skin clinic or start a live chat on our website with an O Skin Expert.
Choosing between a tanning brush and mitt depends on your preferences and the results you're aiming for:
Tanning Mitt:
· Ease of Use - Tanning mitts are generally easy to use and are ideal for beginners. They allow for quick and even application, especially on large areas like legs and arms.
· Coverage - They provide good coverage and are effective for blending self-tanner on flat surfaces.
· Avoids Streaks - The sponge-like texture of the mitt helps in blending the tanner and reducing streaks.
Tanning Brush:
· Precision - Tan brushes offer more precision and control, making them great for applying tanner to tricky areas like the face, around the knees, elbows, and other detailed spots.
· Blendability – Tan buffing brushes are excellent for blending tanner smoothly and creating a more natural-looking finish.
· Detail Work - Ideal for touch-ups and areas where you need a more controlled application.
Which is Better?
· For a Quick, Even Tan - A tanning mitt is usually more convenient and effective for a fast, even application across large areas.
· For Precision and Detail - A tanning brush is better for detailed work and for achieving a precise and blended tan.
In many cases, people use both—a mitt for the main application and a tan brush for detailed blending and hard-to-reach areas.
To clean and care for your tan brush properly:
· Remove Excess Tanner - After each use, wipe off any excess self-tanner from the tanning brush with a clean, dry cloth or paper towel.
· Clean with Soap and Water - Rinse the brush under warm water to remove the self-tanner. Apply a mild soap or brush cleaner to the brush bristles, lather gently, and work the soap through the bristles.
· Rinse Thoroughly - Rinse the tan brush under warm water until the water runs clear and all soap residue is gone.
· Dry the Tan Brush - Gently squeeze out excess water with a clean towel. Reshape the bristles with your fingers and lay the brush flat on a clean towel to air dry. Avoid drying the tanning brush standing up, as this can cause water to seep into the handle and loosen the bristles.
· Avoid Heat - Keep the tan buffing brush away from direct heat sources such as hairdryers or radiators to prevent damage to the bristles.
· Store Properly - Store the tan brush in a clean, dry place. Ensure it’s completely dry before putting it away to prevent mould and bacteria growth.
· Regular Cleaning - Clean your tanning brush after each use or at least once a week to maintain hygiene and ensure optimal performance.
Following these steps will help keep your tan buffing brush in good condition, ensuring a smooth and even tan each time you use it.

To ensure your O Cosmedics Tanning Brush lasts, it should be replaced every several months to a year, depending on usage and maintenance.
