Question: How do I Correct Self Tanning Mistakes?
Whether you are an avid self tanner or just starting out, we have all made some sort of self tanning mistake. If you have darkened knees and elbows, streaks, or marks and spots on your hands, feet, and ankles there is a very easy way to blend it out without ruining your hard work.
Answer:

We have come across two great products that work for evening out self tanning mistakes without messing up the rest of the tanned areas. We have found that either Witch Hazel or Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2 tend to work the best.

What to do:

  • Lightly dampen a cotton ball or pad with either solution.
  • Gently dab the darkened area and then lightly rub in a circular motion with the cotton ball or pad.
  • Wait 30-60 seconds or until dry and check to see if you need to do another application.
  • If the darkness or spots are still present, follow the first three steps until satisfied.
