Tanning Mitts?

Hiya just a quick question as im really puzzled. ive been using St moritz tan for quite a while and always happy with the results. i usually just put it on with my bare hands, although it was soooo hard to scrub it off my hands after applying it to my body. so i bought a tanning mitt and thought it was problem solved. however the end result is a much lighter tan? am i doing something wrong?

    Some people prefer to use disposable gloves instead of a tanning mitt, maybe for the same reason, I use a mitt with no problem but the product I use cant be applied by hand.
    Thank you for this site Martin
    The time for change has come
    Good luck for the future
  • Hmmmm I used the Soltan Mitt from Boots with the St. Moriz.

    This mitt is good because the layer of foam which is available to absorb the product is relatively small. If you're using something like the St. Tropez mitt, it would absorb more product.

    I used latex gloves previously, and found the results streaky. I also found it took much longer to apply the tan all over than with a mitt.

    One thing that I have found with the St. Moriz is that you need to shake it like a biitch otherwise the DHA seems to rise to the top whereas the non tanning ingredients end up at the bottom - are you close to the end of a bottle?

    I apply St Moriz every 3 days, but for the price, can you really complain?
