New Sunkissed Double Sided Application Mitt

Sunkissed have always been one of my suppliers of fake tan because it is kind to the skin, contains no parabens and also for the fact I actually enjoy the scent.
Not only does it give me the perfect , natural glowing tan but with the help of their Application Mitts, tanning has become a very easy regime leaving me streak free and the best thing about the whole process is it only takes seconds to apply  without staining your hands giving the whole secret of your gorgeous tan away to others.

Sunkissed Tanning products can be found and available from Sunkissedbronzing.co.uk

Sunkissed Medium Tan - £4.99
Double Sided Application Mitt - £4.99

This time around , Sunkissed have come up with a new double sided application mitt which promises to make tanning a little easier without the need for swapping or fidgeting about trying to get the right side of the mitt in place.
The new Mitt has a patented barrier technology which prevents the product from leaking through to your hands .
Picture
I have to be honest in saying I never actually had a problem with the other Sunkissed mitt , in fact I loved the soft fleece side to it .

The new mitt has that full foam look and the inside feels very much more protected so I can see that the tan will not get through onto my skin.
I can feel the added barrier .
Picture
Just like any other tanning regime, I add the Tanning mousse straight onto the mitt then onto the skin , this way I have no need to touch the tanning product at all .
The mitt does not leak at all and my hands are left clear of any product , just as needed the only place I see tan is on my legs where I applied it .

First of all let me show how lilly white my legs are.
They are a lovely shade of milk but being summer (although no sign of sunshine yet) , I do need a little colour .

I need to add that I always exfoliate and shave beforehand and in this case it was two whole days . I do not moisturise but if you suffer with dry skin then I would recommend dabbing a little on those areas before placing the tan on.

Before
I am not sure if it is just the fact I felt a little bendy while applying, but for me I only needed to use one side of the mitt which defeats the whole object really but I suppose if I was in a hurry or unable to twist my arm so much I would see why it is needed.

No matter how much product was applied , the mitt still held that barrier and I was able to build the tan up with no problems at all.
Picture
See how much product stays on the mitt? This is the amount of streak I used to leave on my skin !
For the purpose of this post, I wanted to share with you how the application finished from start to finish and so I only applied one one layer.

Just as expected the tan went on streak free. 
The change in mitt has not made the mitt defect in any way and In my opinion makes the mitt easier to clean afterwards as I can see clearly where it has been washed .

If you hand clean the mitt straight afterwards with soap and warm water , it will come up just as new and able to be reused again at a later date when needed.
Picture
My conclusion on this new Double Sided Application Mitt is that for me it is unnecessary as I do not need both sides but would be prefect for those who like to hurry their application as it makes tanning a lot quicker .
Using it is simple and easy and it does exactly what it says so you do not need to worry about excess tanning product leaking onto your skin.
The price is a little more than I would like but considering the Tanning product itself is a bargain you would still save money buying them as a pair .
Having the soft material against the skin makes it silky to use and does not snag or irritate the skin either this helps smooth the product on evenly.
I will be using this mitt as often as I tan . I am very pleased with the outcome .

I have always been to chicken for fake tan, but you may have convinced me!

That's a great result. I have always been too scared to use it in case I go streaky, but I might be tempted to use that!

Not a fan of tanning products myself, knowing my luck it would rub off on *everything but the idea of a special mitt that would help apply it evenly is a good one.

What a clever product - looks a great way to try and tan, and pretty foolproof too (I am always terrible with things like this :)

I'm always a bit nervous of fake tan, but a mitt might be the way to go.

I've never been confident with self tan after a couple of very streaky applications in my teens, maybe I should try now I'm in my 30's - my legs are so pale I'd love a bit of a tan x

I am a lover of my pale skin, it has to be said. I tan very easily and tend to stay away from the sunlight. I like how easy this was though and effective.

I've not used fake tan in years because it always felt so messy but I like the idea of this with the mitt.

Your tan looks perfect! I have never applied fake tan to myself without disastruous consequences, lol so this mitt, double-sided or not, does seem like a much needed addition to my beauty regime :-0!xx

The odd time I have tried fake tan I have ended up with awful results - really impressed with yours though so maybe it is time to try again!
