When you use a wet tanning mitt, it can dilute the tanning product you are applying on your skin. This means that the tan may not develop as evenly or as dark as desired. The water on the mitt can also cause streaking or splotchiness in the tan, leading to an uneven application.
Tanning mitts are designed to be used with self-tanning products on dry skin. When the mitt is wet, it interferes with the product’s ability to adhere smoothly to the skin, resulting in a patchy and less effective tan. To ensure an even and flawless tan, always make sure your tanning mitt is dry before applying any self-tanning product.
