I had a spray tan yesterday for a wedding tomorrow and my hands and feet ate deep orange!

Nooo!!

Does anyone have some advice on how to tone it down by tomorrow?
My poor, poor orange palms :-(

You can buy fake tan remover wipes from Boots I think.

sweat is pretty effective at getting rid of fake tan. Wear a pai of shoes without socks that will make your feet sweat - not sure what you could do about your hands without making your whole body sweaty and stripy though - sorry!

Oh and also - if you had it done at a salon go and complain. they should give you a barrier cream to put on your feet and palms.

Thanks for your replies!

I've tried exfoliating, lemon juice and baby wipes.

My palms are streaksville, Arizona! I'm just going to put up with it...Sad

No one looks at your palms or your feet. Anyway...right?!

It's horrible but washing powder and a scrubbing brush and just keep persevering.

Failing that gloves! Smile

Honestly the tooth paste works, I stripped tan of both my legs with it.

Nair took tan off my legs once.

So, did you just smear toothpaste on you legs and wipe it off? Or wash it off?
I've had some wine now - it might not be the best time to start messing with my mahogany palms Grin

Would Dr. martins and a pair of those massive foam fingers do?

It's going to have to Grin

I had a fake tan disaster with one of those spray ones. I phoned boots and went aaaaaaaaaaaaargh.

They spoke to their science bod who spoke to the sciencey manufacturer bod. He said rub or scrub in toothpaste, ideally cheap stuff, and rinse off. It took two goes but worked.

Boots paid for the toothpaste too Grin

You can get fake tan remover wipes in my teeny tiny local Tescos.
