Washing off spray tan?? - 06-11-09, 10:22 AM

Hey All! I know this may sound like a silly question but is there anything you tanning geeks find useful for removing tan?
I sprayed a girl last night and text me this morning to say the tips of her fingers are very dark.. So she was obviously touching her skin. But im just wondering if you have any secrets on how to get it off?
thanks

I had a client in just today who was talking about the same thing. Our Mancine Summer Tan used to have on the bottle to remove with Windex (Window cleaner -think My Big Fat Greek Wedding!)
Can't say I've tried it myself but my client swore it worked a treat.
Don't you hate the tan on the fingers?

Lemon and pineapple juice mixed together, as the enzyme in a pineapple called bromelain acts as a chemical exfoliator.

Buff wipes are ideal to have in the salon or your bag if your mobile.
Great for not only removing tans on hands etc but also very useful for pre tan prp where clients haven't exfoliated properly.

also something with papain in (papaya enzyme|) works well too. My facial exfoliator contains bromelain and papain, FAB.
