Fix Self Tanner Mistakes

If you have small areas of streaking, the best way to remove these is to exfoliate thoroughly and repeatedly using a damp, nubby washcloth with a little moisturizing or cleansing gel. You can also use an exfoliating pad or loofah brush, but this really isn't necessary. A washcloth will perform just as well in most situations.

Exfoliate the streaked areas repeatedly over several sessions and you'll gradually start to see the areas lighten and gradually disappear. If you applied the self tanning product to your knees, elbows, and ankles, you may find the self tanner has darkened those areas excessively. Use the same method of repeated exfoliation to remove excess tanning product from these areas. You need to be a bit more aggressive with your exfoliation in these regions since they tend to have an excess of dead skin cells that grab onto the self tanner.

Another trick for removing self tanner is to use a bit of baking soda applied to a damp cloth. Sprinkle baking soda onto a moist cloth and gently exfoliate your entire body to remove excess skin cells that have grabbed onto the tanning product. This is also a good way to exfoliate before applying your tanning product for the first time. If this method doesn't work for you, there's a product on the market called Flavours Freedom Sunless Eraser that's made specifically for correcting uneven self tanner applications.

Random Tip:What do you use to exfoliate?

If you apply too much of your self tanning product to one area during application, you can prevent the area from darkening excessively, by firmly rubbing the area with a nubby towel. You can then reapply the self tanner being careful to use a light hand.
