hands are orange from tanning?

Question

I used an at home tanning lotion and did not wash my hands now they are orange how do i get it off?

Answer 1

Try this, but only once. Bleach is a chemical that can be easily absorbed through your skin and doing this once is within safe boundries, but if you overdue it, you could hurt your self. Mix bleach half and half with water, just enough to wash your hands with. Have a little scrub brush ready, like a toothbrush. Do this over a sink with warm water running and handsoap ready to use to wash and rinse the bleach solution off your hands. When you are ready, soak your hands in tolerably hot water for 30 minutes. Then pour the bleach solution into your hands and use the toothbrush to scrub your hands with the solution, about 30 seconds, and then rinse under the running warm water and scrub with handsoap to get all of the bleach off. This will work, maybe not completely, but will remove most of the stain. If you need to repeat, use hydrogen peroxide and scrub then rinse, but not the same day as the bleach scrub.

Answer 2

My only advice is to let it fade. Next time you use the product, moisturize your hands with lotion, knees and ankles. Anywhere you have dry skin will absorb the orange more.

Answer 3

This will seem odd, but it worked for me: I used an old toothbrush and some whitening toothpaste to scrub the area, then rinsed and washed with mild soap and water. It worked!

Answer 4

Rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover. Put some on a cotton ball. Should do the trick.
