Sjolie Applicator Mitt
A velvet-soft, streak-free tanning mitt designed to buff mousse, tan water, and self tanners evenly into the skin. It helps protect your palms with a waterproof inner barrier, so you get a smoother blend and cleaner hands.
Waterproof inner barrier
Thumb grip + elastic cuff
Reusable + washable
Dual-sided use

- Cleaner hands: inner barrier helps prevent palm staining.
- Less product waste: smoother glide helps you use less.
- Better blending: especially around wrists, ankles, and hairline.
- Anti-Orange habit: lighter, even layers reduce over-absorption.
Velvet-soft fibers
Helps create a flawless tanning application instead of dragging product.
Waterproof lining
Helps block mousse and tanning water from soaking through to palms.
Thumb + cuff control
More precision for face, hands, feet, and tight blend zones.
Dual-sided design
Use one side to apply, then flip to blend edges clean.
How to Use the Sjolie Applicator Mitt
Step 1: Prep
- Exfoliate 24 hours before with Oil-Free Sugar Scrub.
- Shave 12–24 hours before tanning.
- On tan day, start clean and dry. Skip lotion and oils.
Step 2: Apply
- Place mitt on your hand. Use the thumb grip for control.
- Dispense product onto the mitt (not directly on skin).
- Buff in long, circular motions for even coverage.
- Use lighter pressure on wrists, ankles, knees, hands, and feet.
Step 3: Blend
- Flip the mitt to the clean side for edge blending.
- Feather outward at wrists and ankles.
- Use the mitt lightly over hands and feet to prevent buildup.
Professional Application Tip:
For the most flawless tanning application, use less product than you think. Build in thin layers and blend longer on dry zones. That’s your anti-orange move.
After Each Use
- Rinse with warm water right away.
- Use a small amount of mild soap if needed.
- Gently squeeze out water. Don’t wring aggressively.
- Air dry fully before storing.
Weekly Deep Clean
- Hand wash for best longevity.
- If machine washing, use gentle cycle and cold water.
- Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
- Air dry only.
Pro hygiene note: For studios, treat mitts as personal-use items. Retail them as a client add-on for better at-home results.
“This is how you get a streak-free tan at home.”
Buff product in with circular motions. Use less on wrists and ankles. Flip the mitt to blend edges clean.
Then maintain your glow with Shower Gel and daily moisture.
FAQs: Application + Results
Yes. A tanning mitt helps you buff product into skin evenly, which supports a streak-free finish and reduces patchy areas.
A waterproof inner barrier helps prevent product from soaking through to your palms. That helps avoid stained hands and keeps your blend smoother.
Use long, circular motions and light pressure. Build thin layers instead of applying heavy amounts at once.
Those areas are drier and absorb more. Use less product there and spend extra time blending outward.
The thumb grip helps with control, so the mitt doesn’t twist while you blend. It’s especially helpful for hands, feet, and edge work.
Yes. Use one side to apply product and the other side to blend or soften edges.
Yes. Use a very small amount of product and a lighter touch. Blend carefully around the hairline, jawline, and ears.
Yes. This applicator mitt works well with mousse, tanning water, and gradual self-tanners when you want a more even finish.
FAQs: Cleaning + Longevity
Rinse with warm water after use. Use mild soap if needed. Gently squeeze out water and air dry fully.
Hand washing is best. If machine washing, use cold water on a gentle cycle and air dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Fabric softener can coat fibers and reduce performance. Clean fibers help the mitt buff product in more evenly.
With regular rinsing and air drying, a reusable tanning mitt can last through many applications while staying soft and effective.

OKKK. Im a brand junkie and have used a lot of self-tanners and applicators. The Sjolie mitt is by far the best one I’ve ever used. It stays the softest even after several uses and the inside lining holds up really well, normally they rip after one or two uses and you’re constantly having to wash your hands even after using the mitt.

I like that this mitt is black. I’ve used a pink one in the past and it’s so ugly after I get tanner on it lol. The black hides everything which I love.

I’ve tried several applicator mitts, but the Sjolie Applicator Mitt stands out for sure!

This is so much better than using a rubber glove or your hand! The mitt stays on well and doesn’t slip off.

No more stained hands! I sell the mousse and mitt as a bundle for $40 and my clients constantly purchase! I always recommend it for vacations and to use after a week to help keep their spray tan color.

The quality of these mitts is really good for the price. The ones my clients use from amazon never last this long!

I know it says to wash the mitt, but I never do! I put it over top of my mousse bottle so it dries, put it under the bathroom sink and keep it there until next time. Has held up really well so far!

I purchased this mitt after seeing good reviews on the website and amazon, its nice but I prefer a mitt with elastic.

Great mitt! I was using my hands to apply the mousse before and it was so hard to make the tan look even because you could see the streaks from my fingers. I finally pulled the trigger and bought the Sjolie mitt to go with it, and I don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner! My tans look so much better than before! never going back now.

Impressed with the quality of this Mitt. It’s soft and sturdy, and I like that the inside as a waterproof lining so I don’t get the little residues from the mitt on my hands after I use it.

I recommend my clients apply the Skin Perfecting Lotion with a mitt instead of their hands and it’s lifechanging! You get a way better application and don’t have to worry about your fingers developing the brown, tan lines lol
