Fake Bake Tan Disaster - Help!

(11 Posts)

Ifancyashandy Thu 01-Sep-11 21:02:40

I've got a big 'do' Saturday and had a spray tan done yesterday (Weds) and I thought I'd taken all my deodorant off but nooooooooooo! Am now sporting deeply unattractive green tinged armits and I'm wearing a sleeveless dress.

<<wails>> << wails again>>

Any tips?! I want to be dance and raise my hands in the air (like I just don't care grin !)

Given that tomato ketchup takes green out of blonde hair, do you think it'll work on this?! <<clutches straws>>

Tomato ketchup will take it off with all your tan, saint tropez also do a tan remover, but you will need to re-apply tan (mixed with some moisturiser) when ur done xx

Thank you! Should I just rub it on / rub it off and then reapply a (for eg) Holiday Skin type product? Don't mind if it's slightly lighter under arms as it would be naturally. Won't be able to get to shops tomorrow so Tommy K looking like only option.

Rub on, rinse off, rinse again. Apply further tan grin
Good luck xx

I've had to apply Sudocreme due to raw state of armpits but rather pink than green!

Will NEVER use deodorant prior to spray tan again!

Can now ~~go on pull~~ dance with confidence!

(ps. No burger consumption allowed here. There are Spanx to be worn....)
