Removing Tan Stains

It happens. Solution doesn't always "layer"" perfectly. Or maybe you fell asleep on your hand. Not to worry. There are a number of things you can do to ensure a stain "blends" with the spray tan. Try one (or more) of the options listed below.

Tips & Tricks

Baking Soda

Make a "paste" out of half a tablespoon of baking soda and a few drops of water. Gently massage the paste over the stain area, being cautious not to "overdo it."

Lemon Juice

Dab a little on the stain area, then rinse off. Or, combine lemon juice with sugar to make a scrub and gently apply to the stain. Or, rub the cut end of the lemon on the stain. Or try all 3!

White Vinager

Like lemon juice, white vinegar contains acid that helps remove dead skin cells and break down stains. Blot affected area using a soft cloth or a baby wipe.

Tooth Paste

Specifically whitening toothpaste can help alleviate the stain. Apply a dollop of toothpaste and rub onto the area in a gentle circular motion.
