We're fake tanning obsessed and this is why you should always use a glove instead of a fake tanning

VICTORIA and Jacqui Hondrou, better known online as the Hondrou twins, created a name for themselves with their crazy fake tan routine.

Every Thursday the duo apply enough fake tan to give half of England a golden glow.

The pair don't use a normal tanning mitt for their looks, instead they opt for rubber medical style gloves.

As well as saving money by not buying expensive branded mitts, the glove method has so many other benefits.

The twins say that using gloves means the tanning products last longer, since they don't absorb any pricey products.

Using the traditional mitt method can result in super streaky legs and arms, but the girls say that's not an issue when using a glove.

Washing the rubber gloves and using them again next time you want to look like you have just stepped of the plane means the trick can save some cash too.

Demonstrating the hack to their keen viewers, it's clear there's a massive difference between the two methods.

To achieve the sun kissed glow Victoria and Jacqui suggest layering up the product on your legs first, and working down to your ankles.

The trick is to keep rubbing it in until it is completely dry and always stand on top of an old towel to avoid ruining floors and carpets.

Other tanning enthusiasts were amazed by the hack: "You are joking! How did I not know this? I tan every single night with a mitt!"

"I've been using gloves for years!" Another added, "It takes slightly longer because it doesn't absorb like the mitt does, but so worth it."

A third said: "I have an event tomorrow and this makes me want to use a glove for it."

While another amazed viewer added that "watching you guys made me change to using a glove and it's a game changer!"
