If you’re asking for "tinted tanning water" and a "mitt," you’re already on the right track. This duo is superior to traditional methods because it prioritizes skin health and ease of use. Unlike heavy creams or lotions, our water-light formulas blend cleaner, dry faster, and feel like nothing on your skin. The tint guides your application, ensuring a flawless finish.
- The Water Advantage: Unlike heavy formulas, tinted tanning water provides a thinner, water-light layer that blends cleaner and dries in seconds. This means no sticky residue and no clogged pores.
- The Mitt Essential: A streak-free tan applicator mitt is your best friend. It prevents stained palms and ensures the product is distributed evenly across your skin, giving you a professional, streak-free result every time.
- The Perfect Match: Combining the two ensures a non-sticky, non-orange finish that feels like you’re wearing nothing at all, making your tan truly "life-proof."
What Makes Tinted Tanning Water Different?
We’ve all been there: trying to apply a clear self-tanner and ending up with missed spots or streaks because we couldn't see where it was going. That’s where tinted tanning water shines.
- Water-light Texture: Our formulas are designed to be incredibly light, absorbing quickly without leaving any heavy residue or sticky feeling. This allows your skin to breathe and prevents the discomfort often associated with traditional self-tanners.
- Instant Guide Color: The tint in our tanning water acts as a visual guide, showing you exactly where you’ve applied the product. This eliminates guesswork, helps prevent streaks, and ensures even coverage, even for beginners.
- Quick-Dry & Sheet-Safe: Because our tinted tanning water is so light and fast-absorbing, it dries quickly. This means you can get dressed almost immediately without worrying about transfer to your clothes or sheets. Our Life Proof Tan is truly sheet-safe.
- Layerable for Custom Color: The water-light consistency makes it incredibly easy to build your tan from a subtle, sun-kissed glow to a deep, rich bronze. You control the depth of your color with each application.
How Does a Tanning Mitt Enhance Your Application?
While tinted tanning water makes application easier, a high-quality tanning mitt elevates the experience and results dramatically.
- Professional Control: Our double-sided mitt allows for smooth, gliding motions that mimic a professional spray tan application. This ensures the product is buffed seamlessly into your skin, preventing harsh lines or uneven patches.
- Protection: The mitt acts as a barrier, keeping your hands clean and preventing the product from over-saturating dry areas like knuckles and cuticles, which can often lead to tell-tale orange hands. It’s an essential tool for a truly natural-looking tan.

How Do You Achieve a Flawless, Streak-Free Tan?
Getting a salon-quality tan at home is easy when you follow these straightforward steps with our 3VERYBODY Kit. We've perfected the process to ensure a beautiful, even glow every time.
Essential Preparation for a Perfect Base
Preparation is key to a long-lasting, streak-free tan. Don't skip these steps!
- Exfoliate: Scrub away dead skin cells 24 hours before you plan to tan. This creates a smooth canvas for the self-tanner to adhere to, preventing patchiness and ensuring even fading.
- Prep: Shave any unwanted hair and make sure your skin is clean and completely dry before application. Any residue from lotions or oils can interfere with the tan's development.
- Moisturize: Apply a very light layer of lotion only to naturally dry areas like your knees, elbows, ankles, and wrists. This prevents these areas from over-absorbing the self-tanner and turning too dark.

The Emmy-Approved Application Technique
This simple method ensures a flawless, natural-looking tan using our Tinted Tanning Water and Mitt.
- Spritz: Start by spraying our Tinted Tanning Water directly onto your 3VERYBODY Tanning Mitt. We recommend a few spritzes to saturate a section of the mitt.
- Smooth: Using long, sweeping strokes and gentle circular motions, blend the product into your skin. Work in small sections, starting from your legs and working your way up. The tint will guide you, showing exactly where you've applied it.
- Detail Work: Save your hands and feet for last. Use the "clean" side of the mitt—the side with less product—to blend any remaining product onto these areas. This prevents over-application and ensures a natural look. Remember to lightly buff around your wrists and ankles for a seamless transition.
- Dry & Go: Our water-light formula dries quickly, usually within a few minutes. Once dry, put on loose, dark clothing to avoid any potential transfer during the development period. Avoid tight clothing that could rub the tan off.
- Rinse: Allow your tan to develop for 6-8 hours. After this time, take a quick lukewarm rinse in the shower—no harsh soaps or scrubbing! Gently pat your skin dry with a towel. You'll see the guide color wash away, revealing your beautiful, natural tan underneath.
Maintaining Your Lasting Radiance
A little post-tan care goes a long way in extending the life of your glow.
- Hydrate: Moisturize your skin daily with a non-oil-based lotion. Hydrated skin retains its tan longer and helps it fade evenly, keeping your glow looking fresh for 5-7 days.
- Be Gentle: Avoid harsh exfoliants, hot baths, or excessive scrubbing with a towel. Treat your skin gently to preserve your tan.

Safety and Inclusivity: A Tan for Everyone
At 3VERYBODY, we're dedicated to creating products that are safe, effective, and inclusive for every individual.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. Our formulas are meticulously designed to be gentle and free from common irritants like harsh chemicals, parabens, and sulfates. However, if you have highly reactive or extremely sensitive skin, we always recommend performing a quick patch test on a small area of your skin 24 hours before full application.
Does it provide sun protection?
No. It's crucial to remember that self-tanner provides no UV protection. While you'll achieve a beautiful, sun-kissed glow, your skin will still be susceptible to sun damage. Always apply your daily broad-spectrum sunscreen over your tan to protect your skin from harmful UV rays, as recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.
Will it work on my skin tone?
Absolutely. Inclusivity is at the core of 3VERYBODY. Our water-light formula adapts beautifully to your natural undertones, ensuring you achieve a natural-looking tan that complements your complexion. Whether you have very fair skin and desire a subtle glow or a deeper skin tone looking for an enhanced bronze, our formulas ensure you never look orange. We believe everyone deserves a flawless tan that feels authentic to them.
