A fake tan can look absolutely gorgeous when done correctly, or it can look like a disaster when applied all streaky. It also doesn’t look great when the colour begins to fade and this is when it’s time to remove it!

Read these 5 tips on how to remove a fake tan:

1) Cleansing wipes remove self- tan that’s not visible to the naked eye with total ease! A great way to get off those unwanted faded marks! Try the Essence My Skin Refreshing Cleansing Wipes which also leave your skin looking radiant!

2) Mix some lemon and lime juice with baking soda and pour over a hand sponge. Place it in the microwave for two minutes and then rub on your skin. This must be done over a 48 period before tanning.

3) Hit the gym, go straight to the steam room and sit there for 30 minutes before rubbing your skin with a towel.

4) Or use the gym swimming pool and swim for an hour as this will help your tan fade away.

5) Exfoliate! A great home remedy you can use as an exfoliator is crushed brown sugar mixed with olive oil and lime juice. Rub it all over your body with a towel. You can also try the Body Shop Brazil Nut Body scrub which is a great exfoliater but also leaves you smelling simply delicious!

Now that you have that fake tan removed, it’s time to get that bod properly bronzed in this beautiful summer sun. But make sure you use a good sun care protection. If you still want to fake that tan of yours then make sure you do it properly so it can last longer. Read our article on Sunless Tanning Beauty Tips
