Why are you supposed to wear gloves when applying sunless tanning lotion?

Why are you supposed to wear gloves when applying sunless tanning lotion?
as long as you minimize the amount of time that it is on your hands you will be fine. be sure to exfoliate after.. (just your palms) really well to ensure that it doesn't give you the aforementioned "orange palm effect"





;)


Good Luck!

Reply:Yes your hands will be a whole differant color because your using a lot on your hands. Directions are there for a reason! :)

Reply:Sunless "tanning" lotion functions by dying your skin. Because your hands will get maximum exposure while applying it your body, they will have concentrated "success."





They will be orange.
Reply:Nah, forget the gloves, orange palms are "in" this winter.
Reply:It does actually, if you dont you'll end up with orange palms.
Reply:Your hands could turn dark orange/brown if not scrubbed after applying. if your hands are dry the lotion may not wash off.
