How to Remove Excess Self
Tanner
If you have not applied the
product yet, there are a
few things you can do
before doing so that will
help to prevent this
embarrassing problem.
Prepare your skin ahead of
time. That means you will
want to exfoliate your skin
very well. Famous Dave’s
Scrub Away is our most
recommended method as it was
specifically designed for
this purpose. If you don't
have Famous Dave's Scrub
Away, there is another
method that works almost as
well and is found in most
kitchens--Baking Soda (aka
sodium bicarbonate)!
Baking soda is ph neutral.
It has the ability
to neutralize other
substances you may have on
your skin
(soaps, make-up and lotions
can be acidic). Baking
soda is ph neutral and will
be gentle on your skin.
Directions for exfoliating
with baking soda:
1. After you have washed and
shaved as usual in the
shower, sprinkle baking soda
in one area at a time and
simply rub it with your
hands, a sponge or
washcloth. Work your way
around your whole body or
just the areas where you
will be applying self
tanning products. Do this a
couple of times and maybe a
few more on your elbows,
ankles, heels etc. where
there may be more dead skin
cells. This will remove many
of the dead skins cells and
will result in a more even
tan.
2. Add a teaspoon of the
powder to your favorite
facial/body cleanser, mix
well, and massage into skin
before rinsing off.
Directions for removing self
tanner:
If you have already applied
the self tanner and notice
an excess of tanner in some
areas, You can use baking
soda in much the same way.
Put baking soda on a damp
washcloth and gently rub off
the product. It may take a
few tries, but it
will help remove it.
The best way we have found
to remove excess self tanner
is a combination of scrub
away and baking soda. Mix
Famous Dave's Scrub away
with baking soda until you
have a thick paste. Rub this
is a circular motion to help
remove dead skin. Rinse with
mildly warm water.
NOTE: Please stay away from
the eye area with the
“Baking soda method”
