A smoother glow starts with well-prepped skin. Gingerly’s Exfoliating Body Mitt helps remove dead skin buildup and remnants of an old sunless tan, preparing your skin for your next professional spray tan or at-home self-tanner. Just add water—no scrub or soap needed while exfoliating.
HOW TO USE
Prep the day before your tan, ideally around 24 hours before application.
-
Soak your skin thoroughly with warm water in the shower.
-
Wet the mitt and massage your body in circular motions, using moderate pressure. Let the mitt do the work without scrubbing aggressively. Avoid your face and irritated or broken skin.
-
Rinse away loosened skin. You may notice dead skin rolling away, but visible peeling isn’t necessary—don’t keep scrubbing to make it happen.
-
Exfoliate first, then shave. After exfoliating, use Gingerly Body Wash to cleanse and as a foamy alternative to traditional shaving cream. Rinse thoroughly.
Avoid oily scrubs and shaving products that leave a coating on your skin before tanning.
BETWEEN TANS
Put the mitt aside while maintaining your glow. Exfoliating removes surface skin cells and can fade your tan. Use it again once your tan has mostly faded and you’re ready to remove the remnants before your next application.
MITT CARE
After each use, rinse thoroughly, wring out excess water, and hang to dry completely between uses.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Should I use body wash with the mitt?
Use water only during exfoliation. Afterward, use Gingerly Body Wash to cleanse and shave, then rinse thoroughly.
When should I exfoliate before tanning?
We recommend prepping the day before, ideally around 24 hours ahead. It doesn’t need to be exactly 24 hours; follow any specific preparation instructions from your spray tan artist.
Can I use it to remove an old tan?
Yes, use it to help lift remaining tan once your color has mostly faded. Soak your skin first and avoid repeatedly scrubbing stubborn areas.
Can I use it while maintaining my tan?
Save the mitt for your next prep day. While maintaining your tan, cleanse gently and moisturize daily with Gingerly's spray tan safe products.
