Black Magic Tan Xfoliating Mitts are an essential tool when preparing for your tan. Upon completion your skin will be left feeling smooth and rejuvenated. Use 24 hours prior to your spray tan appointment. Step 1. Soften your skin by showering or bathing under warm water for a few minutes. Do not use any soaps as they can reduce effectiveness. Step 2. Turn off shower – do not use under running water. Step 3. Place you hand inside the Xfoliating Mitt then starting at the feet work your way up the body in a circular motion. This will remove dead skin cells, improve circulation and rejuvenate the skin. Use a body brush to exfoliate your back and other hard-to-reach places. Step 4. Rinse your body with lukewarm water. Pat skin dry. The exfoliating process may cause the skin to appear slight red due to increased circulation. This is not permanent and will fade away quickly.
