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.
