    Default Help! My self tanner stained my hands!

    I put self tanner on last night and forgot to wash my hands off afterwards (I just wiped them off on a towel) and now my hands and in between my fingers is orange. Soap and water are obviously not working. Any suggestions??

    try something with glycolic acid. it won't do the job completely, but it'll help.

    that's accidently lightened my fake tans before, so i'd try it before dropping money on glycolic acid.

    I have read that acetone will take it off. Never tried this and you really shouldn't put a ton on you skin though.

    I use windex. Spray on hands scrub with paper towel off.

    I've had some luck scubbing it with an old dish washing brush.
