How to Remove Self-Tanner

Self-tanners give your skin a nice summer glow without having to expose it to any potential sun damage. However, self-tanner can also leave unwanted stains on your body. Here's how to remove them.

Things You'll Need

• Loofah
• Moisturizer
• Irish Spring soap
• Baby oil
• Lemon juice
• Facial hair lightening bleach
• Gloves
• Self-tanner remover lotion

Instructions

1. Wash away any excess self-tanner on your palms or other parts of the body with liquid soap and a scrubber.

2. Get a self-tanner remover lotion from a local beauty store. Ask your dermatologist about a suitable brand if you don't feel comfortable choosing randomly from the brands available.

3. Apply the self-tanner remover on your palms and rub until the stains diminish. Use a scrubber if needed.

4. Rinse thoroughly to remove the remover. Repeat the process again as needed.

5. Squeeze fresh lemons and rub the juice on the stains. Rub gently with a loofah.

6. Apply baby oil on the stains.

7. Try Irish Spring soap.

8. Try applying lightening bleach designed for facial hair onto tough stains.

Tips & Warnings

• Wear gloves while applying self-tanner to your body.

• Apply adequate moisturizer on areas where you do not want self-tanner to leave stains. It will be easier to remove stains from these parts later.
