Fake tan help! Tiger bread look!!

12 replies

An0therQuestion · 02/09/2022 21:21

Help!!

Im at a wedding tomorrow, and just realised the fake tan I have had on all week looks like it needs re-doing. It’s looking a lot like tiger bread .. and I need to fix it, fast!

how?

Do I just reapply a new layer of tan over?

Do I buff/exfoliate my legs and then reapply on top.. bearing in mind whenever I exfoliate tan off it’s doesn’t all come off evenly so I’m worried this might look worse?

do I use a moisturiser with fake tan in to try and even the tiger bread look out?

Don't put more tan over!! Long hot soak in the bath, scrub off what you can in the bath, rough towel after to get off any stubborn bits. Let your skin dry out properly (an hour or so) then reapply.

Oil breaks down tan. Douse yourself in baby oil or coconut oil, stand around awkwardly for a bit and then get in the bath and scrub it off. Reapply new tan without moisturiser underneath (unless you have real dry areas). I’ve spray tanned a million clients so know some good tips!!

What are you wearing to the wedding, can you switch to a maxi dress if your tan doesn't come out right?

An0therQuestion · 02/09/2022 22:28

Yeah I can always find something else I am sure.. but atm the dress is just above to knee … I think I’m gonna go for it … see what happens .. it’s my own fault for not thinking but I’ve lived in trousers and tights all week because the weathers cooled down

I think if you've oiled and scrubbed and you have other outfit options then go for it. Good luck and enjoy the wedding tomorrow x

If you have any glycolic acid pads those are great for removing fake tan build up.
