Removing dirty fake tan

beefa · 22-09-2006 9:44am #1

Finding it easy to put on, hard to get off, even a good scrub with my exfoliating glove can't remove all of it. Anyone have any good exfoliating suggestions that won't leave my skin raw red?
Cheers guys

I use St.Tropez mousse and once it starts to fade and go patchy it usually takes about 3 days of scrubbing with an exfoliating glove in the shower to get it off - I think its just one of those things you have to put up with with fake tan unfortunately

I do find though that some of the body lotions that have fake tan in them fade more evenly than actual fake tans.

i heard somewhere that Coca Cola is good at getting rid of streaks so maybe would get it off.Iv never done it and dont know if its a good idea to scrub yourself with cola but maybe do a patch test somewhere not visible and see if it works and that u dont react badly to it.Then if is ok u could perhaps remove the tan from the places most important like arms and hands etc

but i will not be held responsible for any coca cola related mishaps..ive only HEARD that this works.And i have never done it myself

Good luck

well coke works as a toilet cleaner and it can clean blood so why not?

I heard if you use immac on the fake tan it will get rid of it - just dont leave it on too long or your hair will be gone too!!
