Modern fake tans are so advanced now that orange patches and unsightly streaks should be a thing of the past. But sometimes, despite your best efforts, you may still end up with discoloured palms, patchy ankles, or a tan that seems to disappear in flakes. We know there are a few ways to remove a tan in an emergency, but what about blending, refining, or fading a tan that you don't want to get rid of completely? And how do you get the perfect colour when no fake tan product seems to be perfectly formulated for your skin? These simple hacks should help you to turn a problem tan into a perfect one — even if you forgot to use a mitt.
