Summer is upon us and that means one thing – fake tan season is underway!
Whether you’re a first time tanner or a seasoned pro, it’s time to get your bronze on and embrace the beachy glow. But, unfortunately, blunders happen no matter how long you’ve been tanning!
Check out three ways we like to deal with our fake tan mishaps so you can get back to being gorgeous!
Scrub it away:
If your tan has developed and it’s streaky or simply too dark, your best bet is to begin with an exfoliation. Not just any old scrub will do though. We recommend finding a body scrub with very fine beads rather than your normal sugar scrub. Being smaller means they are less likely to strip the skin which is ideal; you only want to remove a small amount of fake tan, not a whole top layer of skin!
Hair removal cream:
Yes, you read correctly. If you’ve found that you’ve had too much product build up around your ankles, wrists, knees and elbows, you might find that applying your regular old hair removal cream to the area can be a quick fix. We would always recommend patch testing first to check for any sensitivity and then only leaving it on for half of the recommended time on the box.
We like a hand mask:
If you’ve found yourself in the tanner’s plight of product around your fingers and hands, we have the answer for you. Mix up 1 tsp of baking powder with ½ tsp of water and 2 tsp of lemon juice into a paste. Apply this all over your hands in a rubbing motion and leave on for around 2-3 minutes. Then wipe off with a cloth before rinsing in water. The mixture will help to exfoliate (both physically and chemically) and lift the tan that’s settled on your hands! via
