Exfoliate daily. Get a body scrub. Or use a loofah. Do it gently but daily. Exfoliating will help fade it. That and chlorine in a pool! But it's not pool season so....

Not the neatest way. But if you mix lemon juice and baking soda together. Just let it sit on your skin and it soaks up the color. Ive tried it, it works. Cause I too have had self tanner FAILSChat Icon

I think you should be good by Friday, that's a long way off. I never really had self tanner stay dark past 3, maybe 4 days. I bet if you exfoliate you'll be fine by Friday.

oh no- definitely exfoliate- and squeeze some lemon into the exfoliator when you do it- it will help diminish the color.

Also make sure you contact your rep- all products carry a full 60-day money back guarantee. Sorry you had an issue Chat Icon

I use Jergens natural glow. It's subtle and I've never tuned orange. Not expensive either, which I'm sure the R and F was.
Hope you were able to get the Oompa Loompa style off.

Soak in a hot bath for a while then scrub off with a dark towel. Your skin will be a bit pink after but this always does the trick. You want to be nice and pruney before you start scrubbing.

Good luck!

I'm so sad to hear this...I thought about buying the R&F because my cousins sell and rave about it.
