Late last night i applied the johnsons holiday skin lotion on my legs. I used the intense one as i wanted a quicker effect. Any way woke up this am with tanning lotion in between my fingers and also really streaky around my feet how do i get rid of it without rubbing my skin raw! Arrraagggh it could only happen to me....

I keep hearing this about the Johnsons lotion. Would it help to have another go with a different lotion - maybe it'd cover it? (Maybe it'd look worse though)

I was recommended the Nivea one the other day but haven't tried it yet.

You can get remover wipes from Boots (and probably other places as well)

I'm sure I've seen fake tan removal wipes in small sachets in chemists -can't for the life of me remember where though. Try asking at a few chemists.

I've been using the Johnstons one too but haven't had a problem (so far...) -been ULTRA careful about rubbing it in and washing hands after though ( had a bad experience a few years ago where I looked like an OOmpa Loompa! Grin)

lemon juice, mixed with grainy sea salt! and scrub with a nailbrush..you'll look pink but it works!
lather yourself in olive oil afterwards to bring down the redness and make you all soft again...

or if it's just your hands thataregoing to be on show clean your bathroom from top to bottom with 'cif' cream on a cloth, then wash yourself really well

Get a fannel and dampen it. Squirt on Mr Muscle bathroom cleaner and rub away. Probably highly unrecommened but it does get rid of fake tan.

vegetable oil and sugar, rub it together in your hands like a soap.

I actually used the body hair bleach as i already had that and that helped oh and i cleaned the bathroom. When you aply fake tan do you apply it everywhere or just a specific part of your body. Ive just done my legs so have got an unfflattering tidemark above my knees Grin Oh i must recommend the johnsons face cream not sure about their intensive night cream

I mix it w/a regular moisturiser to tone it down, mum2.

Ditto the body lotion.

I am applying all over, before I get into bed and when I get up. Novelty will wear off and I will go back to white soonGrin

To avoid streaks was told that after applying lotion wipe over knees, ankles and elbows with a baby wipe or cotton pad with water. Seems to work for me.
