Remove Patchy Self Tanning

We’ve all been there you sit at home one evening and feel unusually pale. Fortunately, the solution is nearby, in a small box of self-tanning foam. In the semi-darkness, and with a lack of precision, you splurge on self-tanning in the hope of feeling a little more fresh. But the next morning you have to pay for the sloppy application and poor preparation orange spots adorn the wrists, the skin between the fingers and all dry areas of the body – especially the elbows.

There are a number of companies out there that sell products specifically designed to remove the worst self-tanning mistakes. But if you haven’t got hold of such a product – or you swear to take what you have, there are a number of tips and tricks that can remove even the worst stain. Dermatologist tells what she resorts to if she doesn’t have the professional products lying around.

Then i actually tend to use washing powder for white clothes. I take some powder and mix it with water, and then i scrub the skin with it for a little while. Then you can actually see that the stains disappear while you smile. It’s not a completely skin-friendly tip from the skin therapist, she says, laughing. Is this something you should be careful with? If you are very allergic or have very sensitive skin, then you should be a little careful with that trick, but it does not harm the skin to do this once in a while, she believes.

If it went wrong and you need to remove self-tanning, there are a few tricks: a little lemon on a cotton pad to the areas that may apply. Alternatively, mix a little lemon into your scrub if it applies to the whole body. Remember to moisturize the skin well after removal. You can also try mixing baking soda with water and rubbing it on your hands if you have brown palms.

Tip: as an alternative to lemon, you can choose a product that contains glycolic acid. It helps to remove the color without damaging the skin. Another trick is to take a long, hot bath with oils, then brush the skin with a towel from the bottom up. It is a very effective trick. I haven’t had any reactions to it, but i recommend applying a moisturizer afterwards, as the washing powder can dry it out. Sometimes when there has been a complete crisis i have used nail polish remover, it has worked on difficult spots around the fingers. But it’s really not recommended!
