Q: How do you use a tanning mitt?
A: Apply tan to the mitt rather than the skin, then buff in long sweeping strokes rather than circles. Work in sections and blend each one into the next before it starts to set.
Q: How do you clean a tanning mitt?
A: Rinse it in warm soapy water straight after use, before the tan dries into the fabric, then air dry it flat. Leaving it dirty is what causes patchy application next time.
Q: Do you wet a tanning mitt before use?
A: No, use it dry. A damp mitt dilutes the product and makes it slide rather than buff, which is what leads to streaks.
