How to use

Step 1 — Prep
Begin with gentle exfoliation using a loofah, exfoliating pad, or body scrub to remove dead skin cells for an even, longer-lasting result. Apply a light layer of moisturizer to feet, ankles, wrists, and elbows beforehand, as these areas absorb product more readily. Allow one to two days after shaving before application.
Step 2 — Apply
Dispense a quarter-size amount onto a mitt or applicator brush. Begin at the legs and work upward in long, sweeping motions for a seamless finish. Use a lighter touch on wrists, ankles, and hands, blending carefully. For the back, a back applicator helps ensure even coverage. Wash hands thoroughly if applying without a mitt.
Step 3 — Develop
Wait at least one hour before showering, swimming, or exercising. Full color develops within 6–8 hours. For a deeper shade, apply a second coat after approximately one hour.

Back tanner

Love this product! Have always had trouble reaching the back and getting an even tan. This solved my problem! Thank you! ❤️

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback!

Perfect!

Couldn’t be happier with this back applicator! Love how it applies smoothly and evenly and isn’t messy.

Freebie

I received this item as one of my freebies! This is such a handy thing to have when you put self tan on. I always found it so hard to get a few spots on my back and this makes it really easy. If you like to apply fake tan regularly this is a must!

So helpful!

The back applicator was such a breeze to use! It took a moment of getting the motion figured out and then it made applying the tanning lotion so simple and I had confidence that all areas were covered and rubbed in. I was able to angle it in several directions easily. I also really enjoy the velvety feeling of these applicators! Thank you!

Love it!

This really works and helps me to get those hard to reach areas on my back. I’ve use this with the foam, lotion, and drops + lotion. I am giving it 4 stars because I would like it more if it was made with a different material. I feel like this cloth absorbs the product

Great product!

No more pretzel like moves or grunting required to reach your back! This product is easy to use and very effective. I need something like it with a loofah for the shower! 😜

Works well

I was asking my husband to apply the self tanning lotion to my back and he was not really liking it. So glad I purchased the self tanning back applicator, and so is my husband!
