Method #3: Lemon Juice
Lemon juice, as it is a citrus fruit, is naturally acidic and therefore super-efficient in zapping that shonky, on-its-last-legs fake tan right off.
Process – For a spot treatment, grab a wedge of lemon and rub it onto the area you wish to remove. This technique is particularly useful if you’ve accidentally OD’ed on tan on the palms of your hands, ankles, elbows and those other places that tan seems to annoyingly and excessively grab on to.
For an all-over lemon tan removal, mix some lemon juice squeezed straight from the fruit with raw sugar to create a DIY exfoliant. Cheap, effective and delicious.

Just tried the baby oil… was horrible. It actually made the tan more difficult to remove. Spent exactly 2 hours in the shower which is insane and really bad for your skin and nearly scrubbed my skin off. Don’t try this unless you have nothing to do for an entire day
Said to hop in the bath to soak, not shower.
great tips
