    Angry Help! I'm ORANGE!!!!

    My friend's a make-up artist and just added eyelash extensions and airbrushed tanning to her resume. But, she needed some pictures to show off her work... and I volunteered. I was a little iffy about the tanning though. EVERY time I've ever done a fake tan, I've turned out orange! She assured me I wouldn't... She assured me again and again and again. Well, the lashes turned out awesome... And I'm not BRIGHT orange... but i'm still orange! WHAT DO I DO?! I don't want to miss work tomorrow... I can only work one day this week between school and the superbowl. I'm thinking maybe some black thigh high tights and a dark outfit? I exfoliated like crazy this morning... I'll do it again before work tomorrow. I'm thinking of hitting the tanning bed this evening? Would that help? ARGH!!

    The only way I could get rid of my fake tan, which was also orange, was with an astringent. It took it off, but took awhile!! Not sure if the tanning bed would help or not. You may just look really tan under the lights though...

    Plain white vinegar will do the trick. Take a BIG bottle with you into the shower and scrub like hell. Put some olive oil in your hair for conditioning while your at it anyway since you'll smell like a salad anyway

    hey on a side note. ( because this shit has happened to me. )

    make sure you dont get spotty. When I tried to remove it , the damn shit would stick to my pores only and make me look spotty.

    THe stuff from sephora does work, just expensive when you have to do your entire friggin body.

    The airbrush if you still turn orange is probably just your bodies reaction to the chemicals used.

    Best of luck. I do know how bad the orange hue sucks but look at this way at least you aren't streaky

    modelco tan remover is unbelievable.

    it has exfoliating bits in it and smells like grapefruit. it will tear any tan off.

    (i used to sell modelco tan and had to demo myself all the time... so i ended up using heaps of remover. it works) use any exfoliators on dry skin. the water in the shower decreases the friction and makes it less effective.

    oh, and the tanning chic down the road swore by a coarse dry towel on dry skin.

    I incorporate this into my daily shower as well,because it's a great natural cleanser.I use it with body wash.After you dry yourself off,there is no vinegar smell at all.This is the remedy for those white fungul patches when tanning a lot.

    Maybe try spraying yourself with Sally Hanson Airbrush legs.

    Well, I went to the tanning beds... and it helped a little but I still looked orange that morning in my bathroom mirror... But I guess it didn't show up at work... It is a LITTLE darker than my bathroom, I guess. In fact, I got all kinds of compliments on how tan and sexy I was, LOL! Thanks for all the tips girls! I'll try to remember this if someone ever tries to talk me into a fake tan again... SHEESH!

    I've a;ways been told if you get a airbrush tan not to lay in the tanningbed because it would make it stay on you longer (if you want it to go away)

    I had someone who had an airbrush but had never used it that I was going to let try it out on me while I was on vacation. It got down to the last day I was there and I had to go back to work the next day. I'm not dancing so I didn't have the luxury of club lights to cover up a bad airbrushing. I decided not to let her do it. now I'm really glad I made that decision after reading this! That would have been awful. I always hoped airbrushing would look better on me but I guess it's all the same stuff. I think I just need to get a little real sun because I am soooo pale and the bottle stuff doesn't seem to work well on me.

    Apply hydrogen peroxide liberally with a cotton ball, leave it on for one minute, and then step into the shower and scrub with a wascloth. Rinse and repeat if necessary.
