If your dream tan turns into a nightmare, don\u2019t panic. Fake colour is created in the upper layers of your skin, so even the most stubborn spots can be smoothed over with a few simple self tanning tips. From erasing unnatural colour to fading dark spots, the problem-specific guide below tells you how to fix common tanning disasters with ordinary kitchen staples and easily accessible products.<\/p>\n<h2>Uniform Streaks<\/h2>\n<p>If your entire body is covered in ribbons of bronzer, chances are that you didn\u2019t use enough formula to get full coverage. To avoid the problem in the future, practise how to spray tan with tanning mitts. Because they have a larger surface area than your hands, mitts help spread the product on evenly. In the meantime, tame your tiger stripes by lightly exfoliating your skin with organic sea salt or a grainy sugar scrub.<\/p>\n<h2>Unflattering Colour<\/h2>\n<p>Choosing the right shade is always a bit tricky, and going too dark is a mistake that we all make when we first start learning how to spray tan. For quick colour correction, grab a lemon or lemon juice and a pair of exfoliating gloves. Acids in lemon juice can instantly lighten your skin, but you\u2019ll still need a glove with a good grip to take out any leftover pigment. If neither is on hand, add a few drops of baby oil to a warm bath to soften your skin and shed the top layer of your tan.<\/p>\n<h2>Isolated Patches<\/h2>\n<p>Patches happen when you miss spots or when your skin comes in contact with water before your colour is fully developed. Because you don\u2019t want to ruin your otherwise perfectly good tan, spot treating is one of the best self tanning tips for blending problem areas. Whitening toothpaste and acetone can do wonders for evening out blotchy skin, or you can lift colour fast by rubbing it with a mix of lemon juice and baking soda.<\/p>\n<h2>Tanning Emergencies<\/h2>\n<div>Keep a professional remover on hand for those times when your tan is beyond saving. To get back to your natural skin tone in one shower, expert self tanning tips recommend pairing an oil-based remover with an exfoliating brush. Before getting started, soak your skin in warm water to speed up colour breakdown and avoid irritation.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you\u2019re still learning how to spray tan or are a self-proclaimed tanning pro, no one is immune from making an occasional mistake.
