The process of sanitizing an applicator used for self-tanning products is crucial for maintaining hygiene and extending its lifespan. Residue buildup on the mitt can harbor bacteria and affect the even distribution of self-tanner, leading to streaks or uneven color. A well-maintained applicator ensures consistent and professional-looking results.
Proper maintenance prevents product buildup, minimizing the risk of skin irritation or breakouts caused by bacterial contamination. Furthermore, regular cleaning preserves the texture and functionality of the applicator, ensuring it remains soft and effective for subsequent applications. This directly translates to cost savings, as a meticulously cared-for applicator lasts longer, reducing the frequency of replacements.
