SHOP YOUR GLOW

Everything you need for a seamless, sun-kissed glow.

MAKAI self tanning mitts are the easiest way to get an even, streak-free glow every time you apply. The velvety-soft texture glides smoothly over skin, blends product evenly, and keeps your palms stain-free so you never end up with tell-tale orange hands.

Our mitts are designed to work with every Sunless by MAKAI formula, including our mousses, our self tanning spray, and our gradual tanning lotion, whether you are doing a full-body application or just touching up your face and hands.

Which Mitt Do You Need?

Our Full Body Mitt is your everyday application tool, perfect for arms, legs, torso, and touch-ups. Our Back Applicator is built with an extended reach so you can get an even tan across your back and shoulders without asking for help.

How to Use Your MAKAI Tanning Mitt

  1. Exfoliate your skin and make sure it is clean and dry before applying.
  2. Pump your Sunless by MAKAI product directly onto the mitt.
  3. Blend in long, sweeping motions across arms, legs, and torso.
  4. Use the leftover product on the mitt for hands, elbows, knees, and feet, where less is more.
  5. Rinse the mitt with warm water and let it air dry before your next use.

What's the difference between the Full Body Mitt and the Back Applicator?

The Full Body Mitt is designed for everyday use on arms, legs, and torso. The Back Applicator has an extended reach built in, so you can evenly tan your back and shoulders on your own, without needing a second pair of hands.

Why use a mitt instead of just my hands?

A mitt spreads product more evenly than fingertips alone, which means fewer streaks and no orange-tinted palms. It also gets you a smoother, more professional-looking finish with a lot less effort.

What MAKAI products can I use with this mitt?

All of them. Whether you are using a Sunless by MAKAI mousse, our self tanning spray, or a gradual tanning lotion, our mitts are designed to apply any of our formulas evenly.

What is the mitt made of?

A soft, velvety texture designed to glide over skin without dragging or streaking your tan, while keeping your hands protected from product transfer.

How do I clean my tanning mitt?

Rinse with warm water after every use and let it air dry. For a deeper clean, check out our full guide linked above.

Should I buy the mitt with a tanner, or on its own?

If you do not already have a Sunless by MAKAI mousse or spray at home, grab a bundle so you have everything you need in one order. Already stocked up on your favorite formula? Either mitt works perfectly as a standalone pickup.

Can I use this mitt on my face?

Yes. Use any leftover product on the mitt for a lighter touch on your face, blending gently around the hairline and jaw for a natural finish.
