Answer 2

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.

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.

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.

Another alternative: products such as Orange Goop, used by car mechanics to get stains off hands, will remove orange stains from sunless tanners. Use only on your hands — products like this are not recommended for use on large areas of the body. They are most effective on callused areas, such as hands and feet.

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.
