I picked up a great 'recipe' for exfoliation from an old thread on here by Amy de man....(Miss ya Amy :hug
It is absolutely lush, a real natural pamper treatment and leaves your skin in gorgeous, perfectly primed condition for your next tan.
Firstly....make sure you have an uninterrupted 30 or 40 minutes, and a pineapple....don't worry I am not going to suggest using the pineapple itself to scrub
!
Now, extract some juice from the fresh pineapple.....it crushes out easy enough, or even better if you have a juice extractor. It must be fresh jiuce though....not out of a carton! You don't need much.....about 1/2 a cup and add to it a bit of diluted lemon juice.
Then in the bathroom, stood on a towel, slather it all over your body. The pineapple juice contains an enzyme called Bromelain, and along with the fruit acids these are a superb chemical exfoliater. Then cover yourself in olive oil and let it al get to work for 20 mins.
Hop in the shower, with a good pair of scrubby mitss and scrub scrub scrub...a gentle shower gel lifts any oil residue of the skin, you don't need much pressure, and you will be abslutely amazed at what comes off your body. I have done it when I didn't think i ahd any ten left at all, and there is tons washing away!
Hayls tried it and loved it a few weeks back to shift a stubborn St Tropez tan, and last weekend I had a bride who had a spray tan (done elsewhere) go wrong on her with 4 days to go. This recipe shifted every last ddogy bit and I then re-sprayed her to perfection. She was so grateful and even sent me a wee card afterwards to thank me for saving her day! I have to say it made mine!
And the very best bit....eating the remainder of the yummy pineapple!
