When deciding upon a spray tan, or a DIY product, there is always the slight fear and apprehension that might come along with the thought. Even unwillingly, and with today's advanced products, doubt seems to creep in, making you unsure of how it will turn out, or whether it will be a disastrous orange. By knowing how to remove sunless tanner easily, affordably and safely at home, it should put your mind at ease instantly.
Whether the problem is an incorrect color, or you have beautifully tanned skin, but your palms are as brown as the rest of your body, there are quite a few safe and gentle products that you could logically try before panicking! Once you have applied the self tanning product, immediately wash your hands with warm soapy water to rid your hands of any unwanted color. Better still, use silicone gloves to apply the tan evenly and eliminate the chance of brown palms.
It all depends on the severity of the problem, and the degree and portion which needs to be attended to effectively. Most of the products should have a delicate bleaching property, without being harsh to the skin. These are most likely to not have a marked and instant effect on the tan, but with a little perseverance, should lighten and eventually rid you of the problem.
A quick remedy to try if the entire body needs to be lightened is to take a hot bath and soak in it for as long as possible. Try adding a little gentle bleach such as baking soda (nothing else) to have an overall lightening effect. Whilst in the bath, you could also try an exfoliating product such as sugar scrub to lift the outer most layer of the skin, safely.
Repeat this process daily for a more rapid result. Baby oil, also helps tremendously, even if it is more cumbersome. Slather it onto the skin, and allow it to absorb for a good 10 minutes, where after you can shower and exfoliate generously.
Most times, the results speak for themselves, and leave you with a warm sun-kissed bronze skin, which looks healthy and silky. There is no reason to not try this wondrous product, for fear of some of the horror stories heard. If the task is undertaken responsibly and with a good knowledge of the application instruction, there should be no reason why a problem should arise.
Toothpaste, that has the whitening agents in it, is a wonderful product to use. It is powerful and can eliminate any unwanted orange palms quickly and efficiently. Acetone also works wonders, but is rather drying and harsh on the skin. If you feel you would like to try it, then only use it in small measured amounts with a soft cotton wool pad. If all else fails, keep exfoliating kindly, and remember to moisturize continuously.
Be vigilant about your home tan, and choose a reputable product, with great reviews for the best results. Do your homework well, and select the shade and depth suited to your taste. If you are armed with knowledge and later experience, there should be no reason why anything could go wrong. Only the benefit of sunless tanning, and all that it entails, such as a beautiful bronzed skin and the confidence that goes along with that!
