Fake tan. I am now orange and going to a party tomorrow. What can I do? Help!

[QueenBhannae]

I have never used fake tan ever before and on my first attempt today I am left looking shiny pine orange

My skin is of mixed race so I went for the dark colour (damn that woman in boots) and I look really bad in a jodie marsh kind of way.

Can I remove any of it by some miracle method or am I doomed to attend an important family function avoiding all cameras wearing a turtleneck?

Help please.

my skin is yellow-undertoned, but very fair.

i haven't found a self-tanner yet that doesn't turn me orange, but naturally i tan very well.

exfoliate with a shower scrub and put on lots of lotion.

scrub and pray really......i had to use nail polish remover when i spray tanned myself and ended up looking like an umpa lumpa...my mum brought her friends round to my house to giggle at me

pmsl, no stop it...........

yes fawke my mother has been round to assess the damage and tell me off already and oompa loompas were mentioed

i am running ANOTHER bath as i type.

Toothpaste! Bit messy but works. Shower lots too and it will fade.

Ooh Riven , thanks. I'll go ninja over oompa anyday of the week lol
Have got toothpaste on my face (whitening(?)-hope I dont end up looking like michael jackson from the neck up and oompa neck down!)and will get in a hot bath and try to soak it off.

Failing all that I will just get drunk

Get one of these and pretend you thought it was fancy dress?

at least she didnt bring a couple of friends to laugh at you though...she didnt even stay to help me get it off...it was reaaaaalllllyyyy bad and streaky
