Fake tan is basically paint for your dead skin cells. It stains the very top layer. To kill it, you need to dissolve that stain.
Oil and water don’t mix, but oil and fake tan are sworn enemies. Baby oil, coconut oil, or even olive oil from your kitchen are your new best friends.
Slather yourself like you are basting a Thanksgiving turkey. Seriously, use a lot. Let it sit for ten minutes. You’ll look like a glazed donut, which is hilarious.
The "Bathtub Shampoo" Method
Now, hop in a hot shower—as hot as you can handle. Steam opens your pores and loosens the grip of the color.
Grab a rough washcloth or a loofah. Do not use your nice, fluffy white one. It will be ruined forever. You have been warned.
Scrub in circular motions. Watch the brown water swirl down the drain. It’s gross, but deeply satisfying. It’s like witnessing a crime scene being cleaned up.
