Tanning Essentials Exfoliating Mitt

Pre-tan preparation is the key to a long-lasting and even tan.

The 2 in 1 Exfoliating Mitt from Tanning Essentials caters for both pre-tan and the removal of a fading self-tan. This dual-benefit luxe tan removal mitt is an all-over body buff that exfoliates the skin, removes dead skin cells, rejuvenates the skin, and supports circulation to assist in the prevention of cellulite. It is also ideal for use before hair removal.

Plan For The Perfect Tan 

Proper exfoliation is the foundation of achieving an even, natural-looking tan. An exfoliating mitt serves two essential purposes in your tanning routine: preparing skin before tanning and removing old, faded tan when it's time to reapply. Regular use prevents patchy colour and ensures each new application starts with a fresh, even canvas.

The quality of your tan exfoliating mitt also matters. Our tan remover gloves offer:

Texture Technology

Our tan exfoliating mitts feature precisely calibrated texture that removes dead skin cells and tan buildup without causing irritation or micro-tears. The texture is firm enough to exfoliate effectively while remaining gentle on the skin barrier.

Material Quality

Durable, skin-safe materials ensure you can use your mitt more than just once. Quality construction ensures the mitt performs reliably without breaking down or losing its exfoliating properties.

Design and Fit

A properly sized mitt allows for comfortable use and the right amount of pressure application across your body. Our design lets you easily maneuver from your ankles to your shoulders without strain.

Hygiene

We usequick-drying materials to prevent bacterial growth between uses. Easy-to-clean construction ensures hygienic application every time.

Exfoliating Mitt FAQs 

How often should I use an exfoliating mitt?

Exfoliate 24 hours before tanning and again when removing old tan. For general skincare, use 2-3 times weekly. Daily use is not recommended as skin needs time to regenerate between exfoliation sessions.

Can I use an exfoliating mitt on my face?

No. Facial skin requires gentler exfoliation methods. Body tan removal mitts are too abrasive for facial use and may cause irritation or damage. Use a facial-specific exfoliator instead.

What's the difference between an exfoliating mitt and a loofah?

Exfoliating mitts provide superior control, more effective dead skin removal, and better hygiene compared to loofahs, which can trap bacteria and harbour mould. Mitts dry quickly, clean easily, and deliver more consistent exfoliation.

How do I clean my tan exfoliating mitt?

Rinse thoroughly with warm water and mild soap after each use. Squeeze out excess water and hang to dry completely in a well-ventilated area. For deeper cleaning, soak the item weekly in diluted white vinegar or wash it in hot water.

How long does an exfoliating mitt last?

With proper care, an exfoliating or tan remover mitt typically lasts 3-4 months. Replace when effectiveness decreases, material deteriorates, or odour develops.
