I’m a fake tan addict & put it on with a paint roller instead of a mitt – it started when I lost mine, but works so well
A WOMAN who loves fake tanning has revealed the lengths she will go to to get her bronzed look.
The beauty fan, called Chelsea, recently misplaced her tanning mitt. However, rather than wait until she found it or could get her hands on a new one, she took action and decided to get inventive.
After searching her house top to bottom, she came up with the idea of using a paint roller to apply her fake tan.
And she said it more than did the trick, claiming that it applied the fake tan perfectly with no patches whatsoever.
Revealing her newfound life hack on social media, Chelsea recorded a video of herself rolling the lotion onto her legs.
She explained alongside it: “Lost my tan mit so a paint roll it is.
“Not going to lie, it was honestly so good – no patches at all.”
And it seems Chelsea’s not alone in her thinking – her TikTok followers at @chelseaxx26 were all in agreement too and hailed the new trick genius.
On the video, which has racked up more than 10k likes, one person wrote that after seeing the clip, they’d added buying a paint roller to their to do list.
They said: “I’m impressed! I, however, do not have a foam roller or roller thingy but I’m thinking I should invest.”
Another person was equally impressed, as they typed: “I’m trying this tomorrow!”
As a third said: “Wait, I need to do this.”
And a fourth wrote: “Not me calling my dad at almost 9.30pm at night just asking to borrow a paint roller.”
As other people said they couldn’t believe they hadn’t thought of the fake tanning tip sooner, others said it could be a total game changer.
One person typed: “Omg, you could use a radiator roller and do your own back.”
Meanwhile, it also got the seal of approval from fake tanning pros, who said they’ve even used the trick in the past, as it helps achieve a flawless finish.
One wrote: “Spray tan artist here. I use this on clients to even out some spots.”
And others were quick to say that Chelsea was onto something and could make big money from her creative idea.
One person said: “Watch some big brand come in here and make a bomb from this with some fancy pink handle.”
Another added: “You just unlocked another $$$ maker – jump on it girl.”
