Fake tan cock up - help!

Going on a sunny holiday next week so thought I'd be clever and diminish my winter paleness a bit. Usually I use the Dove moisturiser fake tan which is foolproof but subtle. This time I slathered Clarins stuff on and I've got mucky looking legs. Should I exfoliate and try to slough off the dark colour? Or do I have to do a walk of shame when I put my shorts on at the hotel?

I got fake tan off by making a mix of lime juice, coconut oil and baking soda, covering myself in it for a while and then using it to exfoliate. All came off, skin left v smooth and smelling delicious!

Baking soda
rub it on as a paste with water works a treat
also toothpaste

Thank you everyone. Off to smother myself in edible substances!
