Fake tan remover, how to remove fake tan, we look at professional fake tan removal products and fake tan home removal tips.

If you have applied too much fake tan and have gone orange then a good professional product to remove the tan is called St Tropez self-tan remover, but this must be used within four hours of applying the tanning lotion and most of them take this long to fully develop, but its still worth having a bottle of this to hand just in case after a couple of hours you can see that it's going wrong.

There are lots of tales of home remedies to remove fake tan such as half a lemon, toothpaste, nail polish remover and moisturiser but because the tan has gone into the skin the only way to remove it apart from a professional product is to exfoliate, this removes the outer layer of tanned skin to reveal the newer skin beneath which should be less tanned but do not over exfoliate because this will dry and irritate your skin and your face will be very sensitive to exfoliation.

To remove fake tan products from clothing & carpets, (but NOT skin) you should apply a mixture of peroxide/ammonia mixed about ten to one but make sure to test it first on a part that dosen't show, blot it with a sponge and then use a hairdryer to speed up the process, after several applications it should change from a brown stain to a yellow stain, when it is just about gone blot with hot water.
