The natural solution I came up with was cutting down the straw to make it short enough to fit in the bottle and prevent leaks. If the mitt had velour on both sides, there would be risk for rubbing extra tanning solution in random places, most notably on your body where it can leave a streak. I highly recommend that every pale someone purchase a product called Xen Tan Blending Balm. Once you're done applying the tanner all over, including hands and feet, take your blending balm and go over your elbows, ankles, knuckles, sides of feet/hands, and wrists. UPDATE 7/25/2014: Xen Tan Blending Balm is almost impossible to find these days, but its first ingredient is petrolatum. UPDATE: September 27, 2012. After finishing a whole bottle of Fake Bake, I'm happy to report that the velour mitten is still in tact. Washing the mitten also prevents leftover solution from becoming reactivated and leaving darker splotches in random places during application. I opted to use Jergens the night before Carolina Cup a couple years back because I knew it would be rainy and I didn't want everyone and their momma noting how streaky my tan seemed to get in the drizzle. Fake Bake Flawless is also an ideal option for people who have never applied their own sunless tanner before, as it is basically idiot-proof. For those of you who want a longer lasting tan, with a more difficult application, I recommend Tanwise Lotion or Mousse. Tanwise is not a product for the faint of heart - it goes on VERY dark and stains your skin in streaks unless you blend QUICKLY. I went to Charleston recently and applied this the morning of a very long day of bar crawling, and my arms were still tan at work a whole week later. You can find Tanwise products here on Amazon or at a Sally Beauty supply near you - but remember, they are NOT easy to apply correctly. The Fake Bake Flawless is still my absolute favorite product for a quick, easy, pretty, coconut-scented tan. I like to apply the Tanwise mousse with the gloves and mitt from my Fake Bake kit and it always works perfectly."
"One of the best tips I can suggest is lightly rubbing lotion on areas where you may have dry skin (elbows, knees and wrists/knuckles) before applying. I use circular motions and just lightly buff the tanner onto my skin. If you're experiencing problems it's most likely user error and it will just require a little more practice but once you get the hang of it, it is a cinch!!!!!"
"I have been using different tanning products for years, everything from L'Oreal Sublime Bronze (which I was vaguely favorable to), MysticTan, VersaSpa (good in a crunch, but not at the eleventh hour), and Jergens Natural Glow. Especially in the traditional places where the lotions sink in too much and create the ever lovely bread-crust effect on the edges of the palms, between the fingers, nail beds, and don't even get me started on the feet! hahaha No really though... Glynis is dead on when she recommends that you trim the tube, I measured it by sight looking at how much would need to come off just to screw the cap down tightly. Don't risk having too much on your hands because this is a fast drying product (and trust me, that's a good thing!!). I tend to get a bit antsy and go too fast over my thighs, but that's how you can miss a spot... luckily, touch-ups are not hard with this formula! Because you don't want to wash off all the tanning lotion that you put on your hands, and then try and clean the glove. I thought buying a second product sucked but I was not exceptionally in to the whole idea of lines or splotches. The balm is like a wax, and you apply it after the tanner to blend the color, or before it to block it completely."
"I love this product."
Made of supreme quality, lisse crepe microfiber fabric, this towel is gentle to your hair and skin, absorbs an incredible amount of excess moisture in surprisingly short time, and also has anti-frizz properties - what else could someone ask for? Tie your brand new towel in a tight turban and go on with your enjoying your coffee or checking your e-mails; after a while, untie it and reveal your hair almost fully dried up - that’s how simple it is! Make no mistake; unlike most regular cotton terry towels that absorb very little moisture from your hair, leaving it drenched, this incredible microfiber miracle will leave it slightly damp and ready for styling! We all know that feeling; after a shower or a bath, your head feels ultra-heavy and tired from having to manoeuvre a conventional bath towel for a long time and from the excess moisture that doesn’t get absorbed; well, with this amazing towel, you can forget about that!

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I was complaining to a friend of mine about how tired I was of my adult acne (I'm 37 but apparently my pores still think I'm 16) and she asked me if I had ever heard of these sponges. Heck, I've spent hundreds in facial-care products that didn't help, what was a few more dollars? I went to the eye doctor 3 times, tried allergy medications and 3 types of eyedrops. I then realized I had been using my konjac sponge for a few months and decided to stop using it to see if it was the culprit."
"I thought this sponge would feel scratchy on my face even after it was wet, but I was totally wrong."
"I first received a sponge similar to this in a Korean Beauty subscription box and it was literally the only item that I found did not irritate my skin, and in fact, improved it. I wet the sponge and my face with the sponge, as I was not to get ANYTHING in my eyes, and used the sponge to apply a daily neutrogena face wash I had been using, then used the sponge again to rinse off the soap."
"You're supposed to soak it until it gets fully soft, but I take mine in the shower and get it mostly wet (I make a cup with my hands and soak it that way) while leaving just a little bit of hardness to get a slightly deeper exfoliation."
"Purchased this sponge for my granddaughter who is beginning to have a little acne."
"I've been intrigued with the idea that a sponge could deep clean, but even though I've been using the Konjac Sponge for only a little over a week (instructions say it takes three weeks or more to see changes), I feel that my face is being cleansed at a deeper level than before due to the sponge's natural fibers."
"I saw this on a BuzzFeed post and I'm not sure why I bought it, but I have super acne prone skin and the scars to go with it so I'm always open to trying new skin care products. I wanted a better exfoliater that would help with my scars, and feeling how soft it was after soaked in water I was skeptical, but I kept using it anyways because why not."
"My skin has improved."

"It's a really nice shower cap, and I was glad to find it since there's not much selection at the stores."
"I will often skip the hair-wash, sometimes to save time in the shower, but mostly because my hair tends to behave a little nicer when it's had a day or two to relax. I went back and forth between several, and ended up choosing this Betty Dain Fashionista cap because it was Prime, plastic lined, and seemed to be of decent quality. For reference, my head is not too large (a size S motorcycle helmet) but I have LOTS of hair (it will touch my lap when I'm sitting) and will stay in place when washing my face, etc. I didn’t totally douse it while in there, but it definitely gets wet- the cheapies are always full of little water pools that drip all over the floor when I reach for the towel."
"I have a big head 😂😂 Around my hair line edges, they would always get wet but with this shower cap, nothe a problem anymore!"
"The "ruching" 2" higher on the cap results from a thin round covered elastic sewn on the inside of the cap (stitching through the two layers of the cap)."
"Works well even for very long hair (waist) and it's cute, but it only lasted a year (maybe much less, since I just noticed accidentally) before getting mildew on the outside edge."
"I don't wash my hair every day, so I need the cap to keep my hair dry from water and steam, and this cap is perfect."
"Nice size for any size head (and I have a dome sized head trust me)."
