Learning how to apply self-tanner without a mitt is an excellent idea if you self tan often—you never know when you’ll be without your favorite mitt.It’s probably not a great choice for a beginner self tanner, though. While alternate options can’t necessarily guarantee as even or as perfect of a spread as a high-quality tanning mitt, they can still do a pretty good job if push comes to shove. When you think about it, it is very unnatural to walk around with your fingers completely straight for an entire day, so this will allow you to cover all the nooks in the body that you want to avoid showing, especially when moving around.

Since rubber gloves have separate finger holes, they make it easier to apply the tanner to places that require more detail,achieving a more even tan overall.

Reminder: You absolutely should not be using an exfoliating glove if you have sensitive skin or inflammatory skin conditions (like psoriasis, eczema, or active cystic acne) since the abrasive material can trigger even more inflammation and flare-ups.

If you have any barrier cream, apply it to your hands. Rub the self tanner over your skin the same way as you would with a regular tanning mitt. Its smooth surface will give you a very even application, similar to the rubber glove. This being said, if you have relatively ~chill~ skin (i.e., you have none of the conditions above), you can try using an exfoliating glove on your body once a week. Yes, just once a week. Even if you don’t have sensitive skin, over-exfoliating can still cause irritation, dryness, inflammation, and even rashes, says Dr. Lal.
