What is the best way to apply this product? Should I wear latex gloves or just wash my hands after before touching other areas I don't want treated?

you must be very careful with any rubber and DMSO -- it is a powerful solvent, and can easily dissolve materials and carry them through the skin into your bloodstream. I would use my bare hands, start by rubbing a very small amount directly onto your cleaned abdomen until it absorbs

I just wash before and after... Seems to be just fine. And it works too :)Good stuff!

I use quality cotton balls. It's very easy to apply and only get it on the area desired. Apply in small amounts and you won't even get it on your hands. I've never used latex gloves.

I just spray in a circular motion, holding the can about 10-12 inches away. I then rub in the solution using a tanning mitt I purchased. This has worked perfect for me! Another tip is to lotion super dry areas before, such as elbows and knees. I also bought a nail brush to scrub my hands, it isn't the most comfortable but if you use your hands to rub in the excess spray this will insure the hands don't look blotchy!

I don't use gloves. I wash my hands well after applying the liquid. I had back surgery because of a collapsed disc and pressure on a nerve in my left leg, It relieves the nerve pain that I have as that nerve slowly regenerates itself.

I think this would work well. I would apply it on sparingly. Let dry and do another coat. It should look very well when your done. Make sure to wear gloves. It will stain your hands.

Easiest thing to do. Just take some liquid soap on a soft cloth, rub n rinse with your hands. Voila !!

i have found the best way to use this is to shower first....mix about 3oz of your favorite body lotion with about 1 tsp of bronzer mix well and rub into skin....let dry...I use gloves because at times it can stain...but i have using it for two years with no issues. make sure you exfolixate (spelling?) ankles...elbows...knees first also they get darker that way you get a smooth look

I put a the moisturizer in the palm of my hand and add a few drops of the tanner and mix it with a Q-tip, apply and then make sure I wash my hands after so I don't have tan marks on the palm of my hands. I'm really pleased.

I hand wash my love glove in my bathroom sink (just use a not to harsh soap) I sometimes use a nail brush if really needs a good cleaning, to get in the crevices. Next, I gently ring it out and let it dry on a towel on my counter. Then it's ready to go!! Hope this helps ; )

I apply it with my hands. Less irritation. I would use it after your body wash as the regular body wash leaves a film on your skin, which can cause breakouts.

I apply it before, it can stain your hands so I do it right after I get out if the shower then I can wash my hands and go tanning after.

Actually it makes a fairly thick coating and you don't have to wash it off if you want to do other things. I only use it for working with stuff I don't want to stick to my hands. So after done I wash it off. It is not a hand lotion for softer hands, although it will help to protect your hands from icky stuff. So while softer hands may be a side benefit it is not for hand care - but hand protection.

I do apply it to my whole body except my face. When I apply it to my hands this is what I do, first I apply regular lotion to my hands. Then with a gloved hand I apply a little bit of tanner. After I have applied the tanner I take a dry cloth and lightly wipe off excess from my knuckles. I also make sure no tanner is on my cuticles. This is the same process I use for my feet as well.

A quick rinse of the hands and gentle dry with a towel does not make reapplication necessary for me. After a wash of the hands with soap I reapply if I'm going back to knitting, hand sewing, etc. It's worth applying again if doing handwork as it's not at all greasy and makes hands so smooth. Does it show that I am a fan of this product?!

I feel it is better, at least a little. You just have to wash your hands after applying it.

I used a lot of lotion and then put on the gloves. It did help a lot but did not completely clear my hands.

Yes, I mix it with my current moisturizer in my hands then apply and wash my hands thoroughly

Always use wet...never dry. The very best way to use it is to make your bathroom into a mini hammam (steam room) and sit for 5-15min to soften your skin. Then soap up you body with bar soap (something natural like "Kiss My Face) and take the glove and rub up and down on your skin until the dead skin cells accumulate in little balls all over your body. The motion should be fluid and might cause reddness a little. It's not a gentle western treatment, but do it anyway because it's good (just don't let you skin bleed, obviously). I'm speaking from authentic experience in a hammam, where we had the employees do it on us. The longer you steam the better the results...it sometimes takes awhile for the balls to start forming but when they do you know you're doing it right. Let me know how it goes and i'll help out more if you want
