Lemon juice
Did you accidentally stain your self-tanner? Stains on your hands, feet and wrists are often only visible when the self-tanner has fully absorbed and are therefore difficult to prevent.
An effective way to fix stains is to apply lemon juice. Yes, really! For example, soak a cotton pad or washcloth in the juice and heat it briefly in the microwave or in a pan. Now you can dab the stains, you should see an immediate improvement. Are you bothered by stubborn stains? Then repeat this step several times.
Toothpaste
Do you have small stains in hard-to-reach places, like between your fingers? Apply some whitening toothpaste there, let it dry for a while and the stain will disappear like snow in the sun! Again, repeat this step if it is a stubborn stain.
Warm bath
Did your fake tan turn out darker than you had hoped? It is also possible to fade the color, so that you are left with a natural brown tint. A nice, easy way to fade self-tanner is to take a warm bath. Add a lot of bubble bath or oil to your water, that will soak off your tan. If possible, stay in the warm water for an hour! (That is of course not a punishment at all)
Baby oil
Are you still not satisfied with your self-tanner after taking a warm bath and scrubbing your skin? Then rub yourself generously with baby oil and let it soak in for as long as possible. Make sure you apply a thick layer of oil and let it soak in for at least 10 to 30 minutes. Then rinse the oil from your skin. For example, use a washcloth for a light scrubbing effect.
It can happen that your skin feels a bit stiff or dry after removing self-tanner. Therefore always apply a nourishing body lotion , so that your skin can recover!
