How do you get stains from self tanner off of your hands?

I have been using the Dove Energy Glow Lotion. I really like it. It does not give you the orange look most sunless tanners do. It is very subtle. It says on the bottle to wash your hands immediately after applying and I have been doing that, but it has still stained the palms of my hands a little bit. Does anyone have any tips on getting this off or any tips on applying this lotion. Or any other lotions that work well. All help is appreciated! : - ) Thanks!

Exfoliate your hands with a sugar scrub.





It will come off eventually.





And you have a very lotion. I've used it myself. =]


Aveeno has a really good one too.
Reply:is all else fails...I'd try baking soda or vinegar.
Reply:Hi..to get stains off..St. Tropez makes a wipe that removes self-tanner, they work fairly well. When I get done applying, I wash hands thoroughly and pay particular attention to between fingers and knuckles, also if you have a nail brush, scrub over nails to remove any tanner that may be around cuticles. Happy Faux Tanning. : )
Reply:Squeeze some lemon juice and rub it into your hands, that should help to get it off a bit. Also, try using a body scrub and scrub your hands with it (added bonus, hands will get really nice %26amp; smooth!) Also, when applying this stuff, always wash your hands really well right after you're done. Make sure to use lots of soap and wash between your fingers, that's where it usually all settles.
Reply:You can buy self tan removers. I use St. Tropez self tan remover. Just wash your hands with it when you are done.





I think anything with scrubber beads in it works really...
Reply:yeah mine does that too..you really just have to make sure you really wash your hands thoroughly after applying it...to get rid of it now i would suggest repeatedly washing your hands...prehaps with a scrubbing brush. it comes off quite easily.
Reply:Fresh lemon over your hands. I cut a lemon in half and rub it all over my inner palms when I get hair dye of self-tanner stains.





I like to use the non-latex gloves from the drugstore to apply it all over except the back of my hands. When I am ready for the back of my hands I keep one glove on and take the other off and do that hand. Then when it is dry put the glove back on the newly lotioned back of my hand to apply to the other. Works pretty good.
Reply:An exfoliatoing scrub will do the trick. Anything with that grit for scrubbing will work. I would say you can buy a self-tanning stain remover for the skin but you'd really have to go out of your way to buy that. Just buy an exfoliating scrub. St. Ive's sells alot of them.
Reply:I use banna boat self tanner. It works great. It also says to wash hands right after applying. It hasn't stained my hands. I usually wash them after each time i apply to a new area. Like one leg then i wash, then do the next leg, then i wash, do arms then i wash, do back then i wash so on.


w/ this you do have to make sure you use sparingly around you ankls, knees, and elbows.


It doesn't leave streaks and it looks so natural i got allot of compliments.
