Tips to remove fake tan

When trying to get nice and tanned for the summer season without having time to hit the beach, many have turned to using so-called “fake tans.”

Sometimes when applied too much, the fake tan coloring comes out looking bright orange and fairly ridiculous. But if this does happen, there is no need to worry, because there is a way to get rid of the embarrassing fake tan.

It is important to remember that most of these fake tans will fade in a matter of days on their own, so trying to scrub it off the skin will probably do more damage than anything else.

It is better to lay low and stay inside for a couple of days instead of damaging the skin.

The best recommendation is to wear more clothes and hide the tan for the time being, and it is important to remember that many people could be laughing because they have gone through the same problem at some point intime.

As far as fake tans staining clothes, it is always advised to wait at least 15 minutes after application before getting dressed.

But just to be safe, it is probably better to wear old clothes that the person will not worry about ruining.

In cases where a person cannot wait to have the tan fade, for example, if he or see has a wedding or job interview to attend, then there are some solutions.

As far as the face and neck are concerned, the fake tans usually have the least effect on these areas and the tan will probably tone down in this area in a matter of 24 hours or so.

A good idea is to massage baking soda into damp skin lightly, which will exfoliate the skin and could remove dead skin, helping to get rid of the color.

If the fake tan is really bad, a cotton pad should be moistened with alcohol-free toner or liquid make-up remover and then used to wipe the face and neck off.

Products with alpha or beta hydroxy acid should be applied overnight as well.

Body hair bleach can be effective for orange palms and soles. Apply the bleach to these areas, leave it on for about ten minutes and then rinse it off.

It is important to never apply chemical products such as hydrogen peroxide on very large areas of the body because it is a very powerful chemical and can harm the skin.

For the torso, legs and arms, it is best to coat the body in baby oil and then take a long bath during which the person should exfoliate very gently with a cotton washcloth. Doing this on a daily basis will help the orange color of the fake tan disappear more quickly.
