Question:	Is the mit washable
Answer:	I’ve never tried to wash the mit. But I bet hand washing and air drying would be fine
Question:	How long should I wait to put on make-up
Answer:	I don’t put on my face. When I use on my body blow dryer works great and is dry in minutes.
Question:	Is there a coupon code
Answer:	I don't know of one.
Question:	The reviews say the spray lasts about 5 days. For me it has only been lasting about 2 days. Is there anything I can do differently

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work better than fake bake flawless with the mitt? I have that one right now and it always comes off in the shower
Answer:	It’s 22 3/4 “ around your head from what I’ve read. When I bought a Briton hat I got a size small and it fits perfectly. I’m a small petite person . Hopefully this helps!
Question:	is this water proof
Answer:	Good afternoon, XS = 6 3/4 S = 7 M = 7 1/4 L = 7 1/2 XL = 7 3/4 Size up to a size 7 small you may need a pair of hat sizer's as well for a better fit. Best Regards, Village Hat Shop
Question:	Unlike the spray/mot version, can you apply lotion on after the product
Answer:	Large = 7.5 or 24" inner circumference Medium = 7.25 or 23" inner circumference
Question:	Does this tanner have a strong smell like the rest of the self tanners
Answer:	Thank you for your inquiry. We would consider the color of the Brixton Joanna to be natural. We always name the colors of each hat we stock the same name given by the hat maker. In this case the Joanna color is called Honey. Natural can be many shades of beige. In this case the hat is a combination of white and tan. Thanks again, Tina Village Hat Shop

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you reuse the black latex gloves included in the package
Answer:	Yes, if you buy tanning mitt you won't even need gloves.
Question:	Is this more of a lotion or an oil
Answer:	Hi and thank you for your inquiry. This product is a serum, so it's closer to an oil. It's like a thicker consistency oil. Thank you!Have a wonderful day!Beautystoredepot
Question:	Will this clog my poors
Answer:	Nope. HOWEVER. Like some self tanners, this product contains a tint that you should wash off after 6-8 hrs. The tint might settle into lines and pores but will wash away when you shower.
Question:	How is this different from the Fake Bake lotion or spray formulas
Answer:	I have never tried Fake Bake lotions, but I'm a big fan of the original Flawless spray. That being said, this formula has a gel consistency, it spreads easily with less mess than the spray, and smells better. I apply it directly to my tanning mitt and rub/blend. Like the spray, it has a guide that will wash off with your first shower. I am on my first bottle, so I can't really speak to how my tan lasts compared to other formulas. I will say, that because of the extra cost, I will continue to use the spray formula and probably save this for times when I'm more concerned about the smell. Without the cost factor, I think I would switch to this product all the time. Hope that helped.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the mitt made out of
Answer:	The active ingredient in self tanners, DHA, is a colourless 3-carbon sugar that acts on proteins in the very top layer of the skin - the stratum corneum - to produce pigments called melanoidins, which produces a skin-darkening effect on skin affected with vitiligo. As always, contact your physician before starting any skin regime.
Question:	How do you wash the mitt
Answer:	Not sure. I usually get spray tans at the salon and then use my spray I bought every other day, but I think you are talking about something else.
Question:	Is this mitt different than the one that comes in the box
Answer:	This product is in a plastic bottle with a spray pump!Hairsalonusa Customer Care

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this contain DHA
Answer:	It comes with a mitt and gloves!
Question:	Is this a self tanner or a kind of body makeup that washes off? If it is a body makeup does it transfer to clothing
Answer:	Once you open the bottle yes: 10 months. But if you refrigerate it it'll last a bit longer. Fake bake uses natural/organic ingredients that do expire in time once the bottle is open.
Question:	How is the smell? I have been turned off by terrible smelling tanning sprays in the past
Answer:	Each box of Fake Bake contains a mitt. If you get two bottle of tanner, you get two mitts. Fyi: The mitts are washable. I wash soiled mitts on a short wash cycle in the washing machine, dry in in the clothes dryer, and it comes out looking almost like new.
Question:	I want something to give me a nice instant color, like on my legs. Will this do that for me or will I need to give it time for color to develop
Answer:	I don't believe the original has a % like other brands do. I don't use an airbrush to apply, I just use a spray bottle and even with a washcloth. I have been applying it this way for years.
