How do I remove self-tanner from my skin?

Asked 4 months ago
Removing self-tanner from the skin can be a straightforward process, although the effectiveness may vary depending on the type of self-tanner used and how long it has set. There are several methods to consider for effective removal. One common approach is to use an exfoliating scrub. This can be a gentle body scrub that contains natural exfoliants or even a homemade mixture of sugar and oil. Applying the scrub to the areas where the self-tanner is present and gently massaging it in circular motions can help lift the color from the skin. It is also advisable to follow up with a moisturizing lotion afterwards to keep the skin hydrated. Another effective method involves using baking soda mixed with water to create a paste. This mixture can be applied to the tanned areas and left to sit for a few minutes before rinsing off. The alkaline properties of baking soda can aid in breaking down the self-tanner. For more immediate results, it might be useful to take a warm bath with a few drops of dish soap or a clarifying shampoo. These can help strip away the tanner while deodorizing your skin. Lastly, it is important to moisturize well after any removal process to help restore the skin's natural barrier.
