After you’ve removed an extra dose of unwanted self-tanner from your hands, the next step is to never do that again, right? Here are a few helpful tricks you can use to banish this mishap from your routine.
- Use a Tanning Mitt
Rather than using your hands to apply self-tanner, you definitely want to use a tanning mitt. We love this method of application because it eliminates the possibility of stained palms altogether — not to mention it makes applying and blending self-tanner really easy. When it comes to tanning your hands, put the mitt on the opposite hand, apply self-tanner only to the tops and make sure to fan your fingers and go over all the lines and crevices.
- Adopt the Less is More Method
It’s tempting to think you should use an extra dose of self-tanner for your hands — with normal handwashing, it’s no wonder your self-tan fades there the fastest. But applying more tanner doesn’t mean it will necessarily last and when it comes to tanning your hands, the less product you work with, the better.
Self-tanner is limited to the color on the label so using more self-tanner in one session doesn’t always equal a darker or longer lasting tan — more times than not, it just creates a blotchy, uneven mess. A little product goes a long way and you can apply more self-tan every few days as it fades with normal hand washing.
- Try a Self-Tanning Mist
A self-tanning mist are a great way to avoid getting self-tanner on your hands altogether. While we recommend spraying it onto a cotton pad and swiping across your face and neck to apply, the natural and gradual formula is sure to help you avoid a self-tanning mishap.
