A tanning mitt should make applying fake tan a much more seamless, simple operation, so long as you take the time to prep. As with all fake tan routines, be sure to exfoliate the day before and “make sure your knees and elbows have barrier cream on them prior to application,” adds Lansley.
Then, apply the mousse, cream, gel or mist onto the body or the mitt directly and “sweep over limbs, taking care over knees and elbows and glide over with just one coat,” she says. When it comes to the hard-to-reach places, “get a friend to help you with your back or use an applicator such as the Three Warriors Self Tan Back Applicator.”
