Getting Rid of a Fake Tan Easily

When you don't have access to a tanning salon or tanning bulbs, sometimes the best option for getting a golden glow is sunless tanning lotion. Sunless tanners come with inherent issues though. If you aren’t careful you can turn more orange than tan and sunless tanners are known to streak. Should you find yourself with a bad sunless tan, fear not however, as there are some simple ways to getting yourself looking good once more with minimal effort!

1. Remove a poorly applied self tanner is to exfoliate your skin. The exfoliation process is one in which you remove the dead skin cells. Since your top layer of skin is the one that was affected by the sunless tanner application, you can remove much of the lotion along with the dead skin. Look for something that will give you a good, deep exfoliation - a nylon puff won't do in this case!
2. Make certain you follow up with a moisturizer to prevent your skin from drying out.
3. Shaving will also help remove some of the tanning lotion. Scraping the razor across your skin removes that top layer of skin and some of the tanning lotion.
4. Spend some time soaking in a hot soapy bathtub. Sure you can take a shower, but soaking in a tub of hot water eats away at the self tanning lotion. If you follow the soak up with a round of exfoliating, you can more easily remove the tanning lotion. 
5. Mineral oil wreaks havoc on self tanning lotion as it breaks down the colors in the lotion and quickly fades it out. Put the mineral oil on a clean washcloth, rub it in and then use your loofah or nylon scrubber to remove it.
6. Fresh lemon will also fade the dyes from a self tanner and help it go away more quickly. You can use lemon by simply rubbing it right onto the affected area. Because lemon has a natural bleaching agent, it will break down the tanning lotion and get your skin tanner free. 
7. Pick up a self-tanning lotion remover from your local department store. These are lotions specifically made to remove the incorrectly applied tanner.
