READ MOREA tanning mitt is a soft, glove-like applicator designed to evenly distribute self-tanning products on the skin, helping to achieve a streak-free, smooth tan.
The benefits of using a tan mitt include:
· Even Application – A velvet tanning mitt ensures smooth and uniform distribution of self-tanning products, preventing streaks and patches.
· Protects Hands – Using a tan mitt keep hands clean and prevents them from staining during application.
· Better Control – Self tanning mitts provide a more controlled application, making it easier to reach tricky areas.
· Enhanced Absorption – A velvet tanning mitt helps the skin absorb the product more effectively, resulting in a more natural-looking tan.
· Reusable and Durable - Often reusable and durable, making it a cost-effective tool for regular use.
Using a tan mitt is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps for the best results:
· Preparation - Ensure your skin is clean, exfoliated, and dry before application.
· Apply Product - Squeeze a small amount of self-tanning product onto the tanning mitt.
· Smooth Application - Using circular motions, gently rub the velvet tanning mitt over your skin, starting from the bottom and working your way up. Pay extra attention to tricky areas like elbows, knees, and ankles to avoid streaks.
· Blend Evenly - Continue blending until the product is evenly distributed and fully absorbed.
· Clean Tan Mitt - After use, wash the tanning mitt with warm water and mild soap, then allow it to air dry completely before storing.
For best results, follow the specific instructions provided with your self tanning product. For guidance on using a self tanning mitt, 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 a tan mitt depends on your preferences and the results you're aiming for:
Tanning Mitt:
· Ease of Use – Self 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 velvet tanning 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 velvet 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 tanning mitt for the main application and a tan brush for detailed blending and hard-to-reach areas.
To clean and care for your self tanning mitt, follow these steps:
· Rinse Immediately - After each use, rinse the tanning mitt under warm water to remove any excess product.
· Use Mild Soap - Apply a small amount of mild soap or gentle cleanser to the tan mitt.
· Gently Wash - Rub the tan mitt together or use your hands to gently work the soap into the fabric, ensuring all product residue is removed.
· Rinse Thoroughly - Rinse the self tanning mitt thoroughly under warm water until all soap is removed and the water runs clear.
· Squeeze Excess Water - Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing or twisting the tanning mitt, which can damage the fabric.
· Air Dry - Lay the tan mitt flat or hang it up to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Proper cleaning and care will extend the life of your self tanning mitt and ensure it remains effective for future use.
The O SELF Tan Velvet Tanning Mitt is your go-to tool for a flawless tan. Crafted with a 100% velvet outer layer, it ensures an even, streak-free application. The leakproof lining keeps your hands clean, while the wide cuff offers a secure fit. An elasticated hanging band makes drying a breeze. Reusable and easy to clean, this tan mitt is perfect for use with all O SELF Tan products, delivering professional results every time.
Our velvet tanning mitt works best with foam tanning products such as Medium-Dark Self Tan Mousse and Ultra Dark Self Tan Mousse, and cream products such as the Gradual Tanning Body Butter. If you’re looking for an applicator for other liquid tanning products in our SELF Tan range such as the Face Tan Water and Tanning Body Oil, check out our tanning brush instead!
We recommend using the tanning mitt for your body and our tanning brush for your face. The tan mitt provides a smooth, even application for larger areas, while the brush allows for precise control and blending on delicate facial skin.
It’s a good idea to replace your tanning mitt every 3 to 6 months, depending on how frequently you use it and how well you care for it. If you notice any signs of wear and tear, like fraying or a loss of texture, it’s time for a replacement. Regular cleaning and proper drying can extend its lifespan.
In addition to our velvet tanning mitt, the SELF Tan by O COSMEDICS range also includes several other essential tanning accessories. We offer a back tan applicator for reaching those hard-to-access areas, a tanning brush for precise application and blending, and an exfoliating glove for prepping the skin before tanning. Each accessory is designed to enhance your tanning experience and ensure a flawless, professional finish.
