Tanning Mitt

The Tanning Mitt from Eco By Sonya makes a noticeable difference when applying self-tanner: Instead of spreading the product with your hands, the mitt glides evenly over the skin and helps blend transitions for the most even tanning result possible.

• Product type: double-sided applicator mitt for self-tanner
• Smooth side: non-porous and ideal for liquid Tanning Waters such as Hempitan
• Soft side: for creamy self-tanners and mousse
• Result: supports even application and softly blended transitions
• Suitable for: all Eco By Sonya body self-tanners
• Benefit: prevents direct product contact with the palms of your hands
• Care: reusable and washable

The two different sides are particularly well thought out. The smooth, non-porous side is designed for liquid Tanning Waters and barely absorbs the lightweight texture. The soft, textured side distributes creams and mousse beautifully over the skin. This makes the mitt suitable for all Eco By Sonya body self-tanners - from ultra-light Hempitan to creamy Invisible Tan.

The mitt is reusable and can simply be rinsed after use. That is why we consider it an essential part of any self-tan routine: Application is faster, your hands stay clean, and color can be blended more precisely, especially around the knuckles, knees, and elbows.

Which side is used for which self-tanner?

Smooth side: For Hempitan Body Tan Water. The non-porous surface is designed for liquid self-tanners and prevents too much product from disappearing directly into the mitt.

Soft, textured side: For Cacao Tanning Mousse, Invisible Tan, and Winter Skin. The fluffier surface absorbs cream and mousse well and helps distribute them evenly over larger areas of the body.

How to use

• Pull the Tanning Mitt over your hand and apply the self-tanner directly to the dry mitt or to clean, dry skin.
• Distribute evenly using circular movements. Eco By Sonya recommends starting at the knuckles and working your way upward.
• Use only a small amount of product on the hands, feet, knees, and elbows, and blend carefully.
• Use the smooth side for Hempitan; use the soft, textured side for creams and mousse.
• Rinse thoroughly immediately after use.
• Wash by hand or clean in a mesh laundry bag on a delicate cycle, then allow to dry completely.

Which self-tanner is right for me?

Eco By Sonya self-tanners mainly differ in color intensity, texture, and application method. This makes it easy to choose a tan that suits your skin tone and how quickly and intensely you want the result to develop.

Winter Skin is the gentlest and easiest-to-control option. The nourishing body lotion gradually builds a tan with each application, making it especially well suited to fair skin, self-tan beginners, or a very natural glow. It can also be used to effortlessly refresh an existing holiday tan or self-tan.

Invisible Tan develops a visible, warm, golden tan after just one application. The rich cream feels like a nourishing body lotion and is particularly well suited to medium to olive skin tones and drier skin. Ideal if you want to apply it in the evening and wake up more tanned the next morning.

Cacao Tanning Mousse is the right choice if you prefer the lightweight, quick-drying texture of a mousse. It develops a medium to more intense, warm bronze tan and can be distributed particularly quickly over larger areas of the body - convenient when you want a more noticeable result while keeping the texture light.

Hempitan Body Tan Water is the most intense option in the range. The ultra-light spray dries almost instantly and develops a rich, longer-lasting bronze tan without feeling like a cream or mousse on the skin. Particularly suitable if you want a darker tan and as little product feel as possible.

For the face, neck, and décolleté, we recommend Face Tan Water. The featherlight, non-comedogenic toner texture can be applied directly, and the color can be gradually built up as desired - from a light, sun-kissed glow to a more visible tan.

FAQ

Why does the Tanning Mitt have two different sides?
Because liquid and creamy self-tanners behave differently. The smooth, non-porous side is suitable for Tanning Waters, while the soft side absorbs and distributes creams and mousse more evenly.

Which side should I use for Hempitan?
Use the smooth side for Hempitan Body Tan Water. It is specially designed for the very liquid texture.

Which side is suitable for Cacao Tanning Mousse and Invisible Tan?
Use the soft, textured side. It is also suitable for Winter Skin and other creamy self-tanners.

Is the Tanning Mitt reusable?
Yes. Rinse it immediately after each use and allow it to dry completely. If needed, it can be washed in a mesh laundry bag on a delicate cycle or by hand.

How should I prepare my skin for self-tanner?
Ideally, exfoliate your skin approximately 24-48 hours beforehand. The Exfoliating Glove is suitable for this, especially on dry or rough areas of the body.
