If you want to get a nice tan without waiting for beach sunbathing sessions, self-tanner is the ideal solution. However, any misstep in its application can lead to unfortunate outcomes such as streaks, uneven patches, or an overly dark color. Here are some effective remedies.
To remove self-tanner marks from your face, body, or even clothes, there are simple and effective methods. Whether they’re old wives’ tales or beauty guru secrets, here’s a round-up of proven recipes.
How to Remove Excess Self-Tanner?
Lemon Juice
Mix lemon juice with a few teaspoons of salt and scrub the excess off. Rinse with clean water, dry your skin, and moisturize generously.
Toothpaste
Opt for a pure white toothpaste. Gently apply it to the areas you want to lighten, rinse with clean water, and dry. Repeat until your natural skin tone is restored. However, do not use this method on your face.
Coconut Oil
Coat your body with coconut oil and leave it for 30 minutes. Wash off with soapy water, rinse, and moisturize your skin.
How to Remove Self-Tanner Stains?
Micellar Water
Soak a cloth in warm water and hold it against the stained areas for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the self-tanner residue with cotton pads soaked in micellar water, then dry your skin. The results are guaranteed!
Oil-Based Body Scrub
Apply it to dry skin. Let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse off. If the stains persist or the tan is still uneven, follow up with leg shaving using shaving foam for a double exfoliation effect.
Sugar Scrub
Mix a few teaspoons of granulated sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of honey. Gently exfoliate the overly orange areas.
How to Remove a Self-Tanner Stain from Clothing?
Soak the stain in a specialized stain remover for 15 minutes before washing. If the stain remains after laundering, apply glycerin.
