OK, so I bought that fake spray on tan stuff called Sublime Bronze and like I exfoliated like it said before I sprayed it on and I followed the directions perfectly, and I let it dry and everthing (i even tryed drying it faster with the blow dryer) before putting on clothes and so anyway I put some clothes on and i went and hung out with my friends and my tan looks fine. Then the next day I woke up and I was TOTALLY STREAKY! I have nnnoo idea what happened because i thought it was dry and if it was it shoudln't have smeared around like that!

anyway i've tryed like exfoliating it off, using acetone, using rubbing alchol (or however it's spelled), and i've even tried toothpaste! and none of them worked or some of them worked barely

anyway so does anyone have anygood tricks to get it off? I'm so desperate to get this tan off, i'll try anything, well anything that isn't a danger to my health.

I really don't know except maybe take quite a few showers and really scrub it with soap or something...you'll probably just have to wait until it fades.

LOVE machine x
in fake tanning spray there is a small amount of.. i forgot what it was.. some chemical lol, that makes it temprarily permanent, so a fake tan is jind of like.. a henna tatto, it will wear off soon on its own, thats all you can do about it, but next time your should get it done professionaly, or just go to the beach lol.

I'm having the exact same problem. I look like a freak, it's awful. I'm going to try the lemon juice and salt and just pray that it works

Saw something like that too on CosmoGirl. They said to take a freshly sliced lemon and rub it all over the area and then exfoliate with a scrub.
