Removing fake tan quickly and safely
After a considerable disclosure that natural sun tanning results to different forms of skin damages, fake skin tanning boomed. Each has actually its own drawbacks. One of them is their removal. Natural suntan is not that easy to remove, while the fake tanning products can be quickly erased.
Sometimes, the application of fake tan products gets mistaken. Good thing that they can be easily rubbed out on situations that you badly need to wipe them out. However, removing fake tan is not as simple as it seems. After all, you do not want results of skin damages from rubbing them out quickly yet carelessly. Follow these simple and safe steps on removing fake tan to some of your body parts.
Toenails and fingernails
Since these parts are only small, you may use denture cleaners and soak them in it. Body hair bleaching is also another way on removing fake tan spots on fingernails and toenails.
Arms, legs, torso
These body parts entail gentle treatment. To remove fake tans on these areas, coat them with baby oils. Leave it on the skin for about 30 minutes and then get a long shower. This results to gentle exfoliation of your body. You must remember that you should always be gentle on these body parts as they are prone to easy skin scratch and irritation.
Elbows, knees
These areas of the body may take a quite strong rubbing but of course with the use of sisal cloth for rubbing. Vigorous rubbing may be required yet do not buff the part until it colors red because this is already a skin-irritated sign. This signifies that you have put harshness on a delicate body part.
If you body is colored orange all over and you see that it does not appear natural looking, soak yourself in a tub. A single tub soak may do yet if not, just take a daily bath until the tan is completely removed. If you have a handy swimming pool, removing fake tan is much easier.
Soaking wet in the water works since the sunless tanner shaded the dead skin cell's outer part brown. The skin cells, when wet, soak up like sponges, getting huge tremendously. When the skin cells get bigger, the tan gets lighter.
If these steps do not help in removing fake tan, then maybe the elements of your fake tanning products are just hard to remove. Give time for the tan to naturally erase. Take a tub soak everyday and moisturize your skin always.
Meanwhile, there is also a temporary fake tan removal. This is through blue or purple tint application. You can check out the sunscreens for children for several options. You can also put on bronzing powder.
Removing fake tan should be done gently and carefully. You might not get skin damages from natural sun tanning yet you will also obtain skin irritations due to harsh tan removal. The latter might be worse.
