At some point or another when using sunless tanner, you’re going to have an ut-oh moment and need to get the stuff off…pronto. (Hey, it happens to the best of us!) Whether you want to remove your sunless tanner because it looks orange, or it looks like someone attacked you with a paint roller brush and you have streaks from here to there, or just because it’s started to fade unevenly….fret not, it can be removed!
Here are your options (and in some cases they don’t work miracles the first time around so give them another go if that’s the case):
Baking Soda and Lemon
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
Combine the two ingredients and mix well until a creamy paste forms. Apply it to your skin and let it sit for a few minutes and then gently scrub and wipe it off using a cleansing cloth/wash cloth.
Lemon and Sugar
- 1 cup raw/coarse sugar
- 3/4 cup lemon juice
Combine the two ingredients and mix well until a paste forms. Apply to skin and let it sit a few minutes. Massage into skin and scrub away that sunless tanner. Rinse with water.
Baby Oil
Cover your body in baby oil and let it sit for 10 minutes. Rinse. (This won’t remove your tan but it will lighten it).
Exfoliating Mitt and Lemon
Pour some lemon juice onto an exfoliating mitt and start buffing your skin with it
Take a Long Bath
Soak in the bathtub and take a bubble bath for 20 minutes. This will “loosen” the tan. Scrub after soaking and your tan should wash right off.
Hair Removal Cream
Apply hair removal cream to the area(s) and wipe it off. (Hair removal cream…not hair bleach)
