    Got one of these done on Thursday for the first time, for my sisters wedding yesterday. While she did a great job and it apparently 'looks great' and 'really natural' I ****ing hate it. Looks great in the pics and all but my god every time I look down I feel like a big orange. How long do these vile things last?

    10 years.

    Better get out the bleach.

    Out of curiosity, why did you get it done? Surely you knew what it would look like?

    To shut everyone else up, to be honest. Plus I'm very, very pale and it did make the whole outfit with it on and did look great. Now I just want to scrub it off, it doesn't really look orange at all, I've just never been tanned, ever, so I miss my milky whiteness. :(

    Run a very hot bath and soak yourself. Then get a rough face cloth and scrub. The more times you have hot showers and baths, the quicker it will come off.

    op if you get a pair of exfoliating gloves in boots for about 3 euro and scrub your skin.
    i always feel like my skin is dirty when i have proper fake tan on even though it looks nice so most of the time i just use a mosturiser with a hint of fake tan cause i cant stand being snow white

    Yep, yesterday. It came out really nice. You are able to have a shower there beforehand and you can use an exfoliator too. The place itself is gorgeous and the girl I had (Dani) was excellent. It's come out a very nice colour, only thing is the hands are a bit dark, so I would put some moisturiser on them when home if you think that might happen to you, to thin out the colour a bit. The tan dries very quickly and isn't as fake-tan-smelly as others I've tried. Very happy and would go again!

    lemon Juice is not a friend of fake tan, use it neat in a bath and bob's your uncle.
