HELP Fake tan disaster

6 replies

Urghh I decided to treat myself to a spray tan. Not my first one and they've been lovely before. Got it done yesterday afternoon. Washed this morning and my legs are a disaster. Streaks and dribbles and white patches, dark orangey feet. Ive sat in a hot bath of bath oil and exfoliated and they'r still bad. Thankfully my face and arms and body look good.

Anyone got any good tips to getting rid of it - I'm flying out on holiday wednesday morning so 2 days to try and fix myself

I would go back to wjhere you had the spray tan, maybe it didnt take for some reason

I believe micellar water removes fake tan. There are cheap brands available

Bondi sands do a fake tan remover, I use it on the third/fourth day after tanning to get the last bits off to then tan again.

When I tried a new tan product and didn't like it I put the remover on and left it about half an hour then had a bath with a tonne of baby oil and it all came off.

I'd go back to where you had the tan, but they're not going to get it off, but take photos etc to request a refund.

Thanks for replies .The salon is shut on Mondays typically but have left message and emailed photos to them. Will look up the Bondi stuff and micellar water. Have had a little cry this morning :-(

Get to your local swimming pool and spend an hour or two there. The chlorine shifts home applied fake tan.

I've had this before. The best spray tan is fake bake. Others are not so predictable in their evenness and non streakiness if you know what I mean. Even St Tropez which is great when applied by me doesn't seem to go so well in a spray tan at the salon for some reason.
