Loving Tan Back Applicator for Self Tanner — Extendable Handle, Washable Foam Head

The Loving Tan Easy to Reach Back Applicator is a washable, extendable tool with a soft foam head designed to apply self-tanner evenly to the back and other hard-to-reach areas.

If you struggle to apply mousse, lotion, or spray tan to your back, the Loving Tan back applicator simplifies the process. Built with an extendable handle and a contoured foam pad, it helps you reach tricky zones and reduce streaks, wasted product, and uneven splotches. Durable and easy to clean, it’s made to pair with all Loving Tan sunless formulas and many other self-tanners.

How does the applicator make back tanning easier?

The long handle extends and locks so you can comfortably reach the center of your back without twisting or stretching. The pliable foam head glides over curves for smooth, consistent coverage and helps you work in sections for an even finish.

• Extendable handle locks into place for steady control and reach
• Soft foam conforms to back contours to reduce streaking
• Works well with mousse, lotion, and spray formulas for versatility

What steps produce the most even results with this tool?

Use a small amount of product on the foam, apply in overlapping strokes, and work in horizontal bands from one side to the other. Dampening the applicator slightly improves spreadability and cuts down on excess product, helping the tan develop uniformly.

• Extend handle and secure before applying product
• Put a little product on the foam, then sweep in sections
• Lightly dampen applicator for smoother blending and less waste

How should I care for and store the applicator?

Rinse the foam head with warm water immediately after use and allow it to air dry to maintain shape and hygiene. Proper cleaning preserves the foam’s texture and prevents product buildup, so the applicator remains effective over many uses.

• Rinse thoroughly under warm water right after tanning sessions
• Air dry the foam head away from direct heat or sunlight
• Collapse handle for compact storage between uses

Can this tool be used beyond the back?

Yes—the applicator is useful for any hard-to-reach or curved area like shoulders, lower legs, and the upper back of thighs. The foam head’s flexibility and the handle’s length let you maintain even pressure in areas that are awkward to tan by hand.

• Use for shoulders, backs of legs, and other awkward spots
• Ideal when you need steady, controlled application on curves
• Compatible with most sunless products for multi-surface use

Who this is for: This applicator suits anyone who applies self-tanner at home and wants a neater, more consistent result—especially those who find reaching their back difficult, people using mousse or lotion finishes, and users who prefer a reusable, easy-to-clean tanning tool. It’s particularly helpful for regular self-tanners seeking to reduce product waste and avoid streaks while achieving salon-like coverage without assistance.
