    Default Sunless tanning disaster.Help!

    Last night I put sunless tanner on becouse I had a tan line so I thought I would even it out.
    Well I woke up today and there are very dark, dry patches on my arms(I guess I was still peeling a little).
    And my chest looks enen worse. My breasts are very obviously 2 different shades with the part that was already tan resembling a brown lizard. And dry peeling patches.

    Does anyone know of anything that will remove sunless tanner?
    I heard once that vineger will take it off. And Im so desperate right now I have even thouugt about trying nail polish remover.
    My skin looks terrible and I was going to go to work tonight but looking like this im not even leaving my apartment.
    Somebody please help.
    Thanks

    I used rubbing alcohol once when I put too much on my elbows/feet. I was able to take just enough of it off without completely being stark white.

    Sorry to hear about that. I'm still trying to perfect putting it on myself, evenly, without my husband's help.

    Hydrogen peroxide. Leave it on for a minute and then rub the streaks with a washcloth.

    Thanks guys.
    I tried scrubbing my arms and they look even worse now becouse now there are white patches too!
    I guess from all the dry skin from being in the dessert for a week.
    I will try the peroxide. My skin feels really dry do you think I should mostiurize it first?
    I should have just left it alone and kept the tan lines.
    At least I know better next time.(trying to be optimistic)

    Try an oil based sugar scrub (like the kind at Bath and Body Works). This should exfoliate off the dead skin (and the dark patches). Then go get some Sally Hansen Air Brush Legs. Use this as an all over body makeup until the peeling has stopped.

    Unfortunately self tanner works great if you are all one color, but if you have tan lines it doesn't seem to do much but make it look worse.

    P.S. you will need the sugar scrub to get the Air Brush makeup off. That stuff stays on even in water. Also a good body wash and loofa will take it off.

    I really like Paris Loves' suggestion. It sounds like your skin is really raw and needs some tlc.after the sugar scrub, if you still need to even out color I would find out about the moisturizing and nourishment qualities in Mystic Tan or an Air Brush Tanner. If these are kind to your skin, try them as an option if you're able.
