How to Remove Fake Tan From Hands
Lemon juice can help to dissolve and break down uneven patches of self-tanner, but since it's an acid, don't use it all over the body. Save it for small areas like your ankles, wrists, and the palms of your hands. For extra streak-busting power, mix your lemon juice with a tablespoon of sugar or bicarbonate of soda, and use the mixture to exfoliate the area.
But, Steffie Okoronkwo, founder of EFFN Beauty, tells us that in order to ensure a flawless fade for your fake tan, "use a gentle body polish and unscented body cream like EFFN's Body Creme (£15) daily, paying careful attention to drier areas such as hands, knees, elbows and feet. This will allow your tan to fade naturally but also topping up your tan seamless as areas will remain smooth and moisturised."
Similarly, Harknett says: "For very stubborn palms and in between finger stains, then your best bet is reaching for the Rose & Caramel's remover. Then, for wrists that are over-stained, absorb a face cloth or flannel with hot water and buff generously and this will help fade out."
