Founder of Rose & Caramel, Rosie Greenhalgh says that a long soak in a tub and using body oil is your best bet if you don't have a specialist fake tan remover.
"Run yourself a nice, warm bath and add some of your favourite bath or body oil," she tells us. "Oil breaks down fake tan and together with gently exfoliating with a scrub or mitt, will help to remove old, patchy colour. Remember, skin health and safety always comes first — stick to gentle products and methods and avoid anything too harsh or abrasive."
Harknett also says that a long soak can speed up the removal of fake tan in the kindest way possible for your skin. "Rather than scrubbing vigorously and causing uncomfortable tightness on the skin, just have a long soak with Epsom salts or a few drops of aromatherapy oil in the bath. Once the skin is waterlogged use your towel to pull away the unwanted tan. This is by far the kindest way to take away unwanted fake tan."
