Hi ladies...
So, i got 'sprayed' yesterday... it came out good, not too orange, not too dark, no streaks... however, i dont think i put enough lotion on my palms (to prevent them from staining), and they are now a little darker then i'd like them to be... any suggestions on how to take off the spray tan???

What can I do next?

Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate! That's happened to me before...so embarrassing! I believe they sell fake tan remover wipes, but I don't know the name. Try googling it. Good luck!

Exfoliate your hands - then use hydrogen peroxide or lemon juice. Good luck!

You can't take it off. It's not like nail polish that stays on top of your nail and thus can be removed. It soaks into your skin, so the only thing that you can do is remove the skin (the lotion saturates the cells so that the dye can't penetrate). You can try to exfoliate as someone suggested. Or just wait - it should fade in just a couple of days.

Ugh, I did that once with the bottoms of my feet and of course it was during the summer when I was wearing flip flops - embarrassing! Although, I did try exfoliating like some of the other ladies have suggested, but it sloughed of enough after one shower that it was no longer standing out like a sore thumb. Good luck!

Call the salon you got it done at, they should have some suggestions for you.

Either lots of soap and water or rubbing alcohol.

Hi H.~
I am a huge spray tanner myself and love the look but HATE the orange palm. LA Tan has out these new gloves just for that...they are amazing I can't tell you what a huge difference they make. No more embarrassing finger nails or palms. I know they are new on the market and I found them at LA Tan ~ I see you are in CA so I am not sure if they have them out all at salons yet. I can try and find out from my salon or you probably can have your salon or yourself call the LA Tan headquarters in IL they are really worth it.
If you have any questions feel free to email me.
Kind Regards~
