What is a recommended method for clients to achieve an even tan?

Using a tanning mitt for application is highly recommended for achieving an even tan. The tanning mitt serves as a barrier between the hands and the tanning product, preventing the palms from becoming stained and ensuring a smoother application. The mitt allows for better control over the product, helping to distribute it evenly across the skin. This method minimizes streaks and patches that can occur when applying self-tanners directly with the hands.

In contrast, applying tan in a hurry, tanning in only one session, or focusing on specific body areas increases the likelihood of uneven coverage. These methods can lead to patches, streaks, or spotty results, which are often the result of insufficient time for blending or neglecting certain areas altogether. Thus, using a tanning mitt promotes better technique and contributes significantly to a uniform and natural-looking tan.
