Overview
- Regional UK outlets on Thursday reported a surge in posts urging people to swap tanning mitts for disposable latex gloves.
- A TikTok side-by-side showing a glove-applied leg looking smoother than a mitt-applied leg has 18.7 million views.
- A Facebook group member said the glove gave an even, streak-free finish and vowed not to go back to a mitt.
- Tesco lists 40 disposable latex gloves for £5.95, or about 15p each, with similar packs at Home Bargains, ASDA and B&M.
- Articles frame the tip as anecdotal and pair it with standard advice such as exfoliating, working in sections, buffing in circles, and washing hands.
