Does anyone have any tips for getting spray tan off my feet please. Used Pumice and no skin left to rub!!!?

Answer 1

It might be a good idea to wait until your feet heal from the scrubbing before you try anything else.

Answer 2

Even if you do nothing, a sunless tan will go away on its own in just a couple of days. You may feel an urge to scrub your skin until it's raw, but don't.

You are orange right now, but so what? If this is the worst thing that has ever happened to you, count yourself lucky.

It's healthiest for your skin to allow the sunless tan to slough off naturally. It's just your outermost layer of skin that is "tanned," and this layer sheds thousands of particles a second without your assistance.

If someone gives you a funny look, say with a straight face, "Sunless tanning accident." Say it as somberly as you would announce measles or a broken ankle, and you'll get a laugh every time.

Great, you are thinking, just great. I've got orange hands and a job interview tomorrow and she's advising cracking jokes?

Allrighty, here's the deal. How you take the tan off depends on where it is. The way to take your tan off the tough skin of your feet is entirely different from the way you remove a sunless tan from the delicate neck area.

So let's go over it body part by body part, starting at the top and working our way down to your toes.

Hands and feet
If it is just the palms of your hands or the soles of your feet that are a problem, you have a friend: body hair bleach. Try Sally Hansen's. Mix it up and apply to the stained areas. Leave on for ten minutes, then wash off.

Your face and/or neck is orange or blotchy
If your face or neck is orange or blotchy, relax. A sunless tan doesn't last long on the face and neck. Within 24 hours, your sunless tan will be a whole new unorangey animal, even if you do nothing.

To get rid of blotchiness, baking soda is your friend. Get damp in the shower, and massage dry baking soda onto your damp skin, rubbing in small, gentle circles. This will gently take off any dead skin that is ready to come off. Usually just one baking soda scrub will leave everything looking even and less orange.

If you don't have blotchiness, just a color that looks unnatural, wipe your face and neck with cotton pads moistened with alcohol free toner or liquid makeup remover. If you are lucky enough to have an AHA or BHA product such as Paula's Choice 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid Solution on hand, you are saved! This product will also eliminate blotchiness. Apply just once before going to bed and you should see improvement in the morning.


For tenderer areas, such as ankles, wrists, and knees, wipe on 2% BHA lotion from Paula's Choice. Didn't have the foresight to buy that? Then try ordinary hydrogen peroxide from your First Aid kit. If it's more than six months old, get a new bottle. The old stuff won't do much.

This can irritate skin, so test on a small area first. It may not work instantly, but if you apply it once a day to SMALL areas, it will help lighten the tan much more quickly, cutting down orange palm syndrome from an unhappy week to a much more bearable couple of days.

Whatever you use, hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, body hair bleach: there can be only one! Do not attempt to use multiple products to remove a sunless tanner from your skin, or your skin is going to get extremely irritated.

Answer 3

You shouldn't be that rough on your skin. Within a few days the orange color will be faded and probably gone. If your feet have healed and there is still a noticeable amount of tanner you could use lemon juice or hydrogen peroxide.

Erectile Dysfunction can be devastating to men, and unfortunately, millions of men suffer from the condition. Learn how to cure erectile dysfunction https://tr.im/BdeJF

If you go to the doctor to talk about the issue, you’re likely to get put on one or more of the popular medications used to treat the condition. While they can be effective (temporarily), these medications come with a raft of side effects, some of which are decidedly unpleasant. Even worse, these medications aren’t really a cure, they’re more like a temporary workaround.

Worst of all, they tend to be really expensive. Month after month, you’re having to pay to work around your condition. That’s what the Big Pharmaceutical companies want.

Answer 5

try using the juice of a lemon, just rub over the area you want the spray tan removed from.

Answer 6

White vinegar works quite well! Smells terrible, but works. In future, when applying fake tan, rub vaseline onto parts you don't want to tan (souls of feet and palms of hands).

Good luck

Answer 7

soak your feet for 5 minutes or so then get a wet towel or flannel and just give them a bit of a rub. comes off almost instantly. i do this every week over my whole body ready for the new application in time for weekend!!!!!

Answer 8

You can buy tan removal wipes in the supermarket or the chemist. These are usually used to remove tide marks or streaks so I think it would remove it off you feet.

Answer 9

hahaha...just read the first answer! if your feet are already damaged from pumice MAN is lemon juice gonna HURT!

Answer 10

Try soaking two cotton pads in lemon juice then rubbing them on your feet. The acid will exfoliate the color.
