  2. 2 If the fake tan has spots on your face, moisturize your face with baking soda. Place a little powder in the palm of your hand and massage gently over the face area until the color is even. If the scrub doesn't work the first time, try again.
  3. 3 Do this at night and your skin tone will be even in the morning.

Tips

  • Next time, apply moisturizer to elbows, knees, hands, and other areas you might miss before using your self-tanner. This way, the self-tanner will not be absorbed into the skin and will look natural. Apply self-tanner in a circular motion to avoid streaking.
  • Think about what you can wear to cover up the wrong tan. Don't forget about lighting: will the tan be too noticeable?
  • Sugar scrub and loofah will help relieve sunburn.
  • Nair Depilatory Cream will help brighten visible lines. Do not leave it on the body, otherwise the skin may bake. Wipe the area immediately with a washcloth.

Warnings

  • Test a small area before applying any product to the entire surface of your skin. This will ensure that your skin does not pinch, burn, or itch. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop using this product and wait until the self-tanner wears off on its own.
