Fake tan does more than give you that "I've spent two weeks somewhere exotic," glow. It also saves you valuable time in the morning and instantly lifts your complexion.
But if only it wasn't so hard to get right...
Well now, your streak-free tanning prayers have been answered, as apparently, the secret is hiding in your kitchen cupboard.
A beauty lover came across the hack on Facebook and was so impressed by the results that she made the bold claim that she'd "never use a mitt again," reports Manchester Evening News.
The woman shared the hack in the Make-Up Tips and Tricks for Women Over 40 group on Facebook, where she wrote: "So I saw a tip on a different Facebook group about applying fake tan with a latex glove instead of the usual tanning mitt.

"Just to let you lovely lot know that I’ve tried it and couldn’t be happier with the results!! Streak-free, even tan. Will never use a mitt again!"
Her post was quickly inundated with replies from women who found the same thing.
One person said: "I did it that way for years. Couldn't bring myself to try the mitt even though they kept sending me one."
Another wrote: "This is the only way I’ve done it. I feel like it’s easier to tell where I’ve applied it and how much."
A third added: "I’ve been doing it this way for 20 years. Then a smooth makeup sponge for my hands & fingers. Perfect results each time!"
"That’s how I do it! Great, even coverage every time!" commented another user.
While someone else put: "I’ve been applying mine with a latex glove for a few years, I love how even it goes on."
The hack was put to the test by the Hondrou Twins on TikTok ( @hondroutwinsofficial ) in a video that has since racked up 18.7 million views.
In the clip, the creator compared the results you get when tanning with a mitt vs with latex gloves - and you can see there's a huge difference.
She begins by putting fake tan on her legs - using a mitt for one leg, and a latex glove for the other.
While the latex glove leg looks streak-free, the mitt leg does look a little patchy and was harder to blend.
Viewers were quick to point out how much more "flawless" it looks with the glove.
ASDA sells a packet of 20 disposable latex gloves for £2.63 which works out to approximately 13p each, but you can also pick them up cheaper in other stores like Home Bargains or B&M.
