Things You'll Need:
- Lemon Juice
- Baby Oil
- Baking Soda
-
Step 1
TUB SOAK
Soaking in a tub of warm water and baby oil can really help loosen the tan. If you prefer, you can also use a moisturizing bubble bath like Calgon. Add a little baking soda to help loosen the tan. -
Step 2
SCRUB
Baby oil often works to remove fake spray on tans. Try applying to your skin, and allow it to set for several minutes. Then, take a washcloth with a little baby oil on it and start scrubbing. If this method is not effective, try mixing some baby oil with baking soda to make a paste. Apply the paste directly to your skin and scrub. -
Step 3
LEMON JUICE
If baby oil fails to remove your tan, try scrubbing the stubborn areas with lemon juice. -
Step 4
STAINED NAILS
Acetone (nail polish remover) can be used to remove tanning stains from under and on top of finger nails.

on 8/4/2008 This reminds me of the episode of Friends when Monica, I think, got a fake tan at a booth and it made her too dark. Great tips.
