Self Tanner Gone Wrong?

Now that Autumn is here, many of us want to maintain the reminder of summer and keep our tans looking bronze all Winter long. But what does one do when a self tanning episode goes awry?

 

Here is a quick way to fix a streaky tan.

 

Soak a cotton ball in lemon juice, be sure it's 100% lemon juice and not a mixture.  Swipe the cotton ball over any overly orange areas. Lemons contain Citric Acid which is a natural lightener. The Citric Acid will also act as an exfoliator and help remove the skin cells and brighten the area.

 

No lemon juice on hand? Use baking soda and a bit of water to create another natural exfoliator. Use gentle, circular motions to slough off skin cells.

 

For a gradual tanning experience, mix your self-tanner with your daily moisturizer (equal parts) blending well before applying. The result will be a more subtle, natural tan.
