Self Tanner/Bronzer Mistakes...

[NOE]

I've always been a fan of the Neutrogena self tanning foam. Only it seems that the Instant Bronze foam (also by neutrogena) is most popular (it has the Allure readers choice seal on it) and they don't carry the plain foam anymore

I tried it as my Saturday night experiment last night and loved it BUT woke up with very orange hands and cuticules even though I scrubbed the crap outta them after applying

I did use nail polish remover on a cotten ball to help fade it down a bit.... but does anyone have any preventitive solutions.

Any of you have this issue and any suggestions

I have heard that pure lemon juice will break down the solution faster. If you don't have sensitive skin then you could try that on your hand. Next time make sure you wash your hands 5 minutes after touching the tanner- use lots of soap and warm water. good luck btw love the icon

Ooo thanks for the lemon juice tip...I'll try that. Come to think of it, I remember Jennifer Lopez's character in The Wedding Planner telling a client that

Yeah I used tons of soap and hot water (and thought I'd scrubbed it all)...but this morning I looked down at my hands and looked like this guy -->

Oh and thanks...I Christy Turlington

Hey! how funny, i have the same problem and my buddy gave me a big HELPFUL TIP...if u apply a bit of vaseline around ur finger nails, the fake tanning lotion wont get that area "orange"...my buddy actually is the one that does it for me and she puts on rubber gloves and starts the spraying lol and its usually the same routine every friday nite...yea i know...how sad lol and i also use the neutrogena one...its pretty good.
