How to Fix a Fake Tan That Has Streaked!

Okay, it's definitely winter, and in some parts of the country the weather is too cold, the sunlight too sparse, and some of you feeling the need to add a healthy-looking glow to your pale face by applying a self-tanner. Before using one, you should always exfoliate your skin with a loofah or a body scrub to eliminate dry spots that could attract and absorb too much color.

Even if you do this, mistakes do happen. If you have ever gotten streaky or too orange from using a self-tanner, here is an easy way to help minimize the damage, using ingredients you probably already have at home!

You can make an exfoliating paste by combining baking soda with water, and using it to exfoliate the areas where your unnatural-looking color has accumulated. Going over these areas with the baking soda paste will lighten the globbed-on "tan" spots and rub out the excess color in the streaks. Please remember to be gentle, though, and not scrub too hard! This is a gradual process, and may need to be done more than once.
