I've got a sweet 16 party tonight! My mom said I was pale, and needed to try the self tanning spray stuff, but she missed spots when she did it. She went back, but now I look like a dalmation!!
Any Idea of how to fix this before 7 tonight!?! Please help, I'd really like to not look like a moron.
PS: my dress is sleveless...

You will have to let the dye wear off by natural skin-cell shedding (slough). Sorry! Effective tanning lotions contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a colorless sugar which reacts with the dead skin cells on the outer layer of your skin to cause a color change. Dead skin cells slough off fairly regularly (in slightly more than a month, your skin has re-grown itself completely), so the tan will only last a few days to a week--a few days too many, in your case!

I would start with the 800 number on the bottle maybe they can give you advice. I would then try to see if baby oil will remove it or dawn dishwashing detergent not knowing exactly how thick it is on you it is hard to truly give you the advice that will not leave you looking just as bad or worse if you wash it you are going to need to scrub and I then worry about you looking redish and the other things i have used will leave you looking that way. babyoil has worked but it was a light spray- dawn dish soap may work try it in an area that wont be seen a spot on your leg maybe and see if a bit on a wash clothe will remove it if it works put yourself in a tub with the bottles and then use some straight out of the bottle and hope it works out for you

Self tanners mostly affect the thin layer of dead skin on top of the live skin... So if you soak in the bathtub or shower for about ten minutes, then scrub yourself really well, most of it will come off, or at least enough to make a big difference!

Products with mineral oil will strip it off. There is a product sold now in the drug store to remove the dye.

Try lemon juice to even it out, and if that doesn't work, an exfoliator or really harsh scrub may work.

You can try an exfoliator, or even dish soap and a loofa sponge. Then scrub, scrub, scrub!! Good luck!!!
