Has this ever happened to you? You've finally tried the self-tanner for a beautiful, even tan and oh no! Now the result looks more like a zebra instead of a golden holiday tan.
But don't worry! Here you will find helpful tips and practical instructions for removing self-tanner - whether it's dark streaks and spots or simply uneven results from old self-tanner. With these steps you will achieve great results!
Removing self-tanner: The best products
If you want to get rid of your self-tanner as quickly as possible, we have some useful tips and products for you. These products work on streaks and uneven results as well as on stains caused by old self-tanner that is coming off unevenly.
You can easily remove self-tanner with these products:
- Make-up wipes are soaked in surfactants and are perfect for removing self-tanner on the go or when travelling. Use cleansing wipes that are specifically designed for your skin type.
- Micellar water is considered a miracle weapon for self-tanning stains. The fat and water-soluble micelles are a particularly quick and gentle method of removing self-tanning products. Micellar water is available in different versions for different skin types and also as a special formula for sensitive skin.
- A peeling is ideal for removing old self-tanner. Both chemical and mechanical peelings remove dead skin cells and thus dissolve the color pigments of self-tanner.
- A peeling glove works just like a mechanical peeling and is perfect for use in the shower or bath.
- Tan removers are special peelings that are particularly suitable for removing self-tanning formulas.

Removing self-tanner: tips for every area
Whether it's a self-tanning accident or an old self-tanner, you can remove self tan from any area with these tips:
- Face: Soak a cotton pad with micellar water and run it over your face. This will gradually lighten sharp edges, spots and streaks so that the end result looks more even and natural. You can also choose this method if you want to completely remove old self-tanner.
- Body: A scrub or self-tanner remover are ideal for removing self-tanner from large areas. The formulas work best if you soak your skin in a long shower or bath beforehand. An exfoliating glove is also a great way to work here.
- Hands: Hands are the first to show dark spots, streaks and stains from self-tanner. To counteract dark transitions, you can wash your hands with micellar water or treat them with makeup remover wipes.
Home remedies for self-tanning accidents
You don't have time to buy peelings or self-tanning removers? Then these home remedies can help to counteract the affected areas. But be careful: you should definitely not use these home remedies on your face or if you have sensitive skin. It's best to use them only in specific areas and not over a large area.
- Lemon: Cut a lemon in half and rub it on the affected area. Then wash the skin thoroughly and apply cream, as lemon juice has a drying effect.
- Gall soap: Apply directly to the stained areas, lather and then wash off thoroughly. Finally, rub in plenty of cream.
- Baking soda: Baking soda is milder than baking powder, but should only be applied in a targeted manner. To do this, mix some baking soda with water to form a paste, apply and then wash off well.
- Oil: Whether baby oil or coconut oil, both oils can be applied over large areas to remove a self-tanning accident. It is best to use generously and then wash it off in the shower.
- Toothpaste with whitening effect: Apply to the affected areas, rub in and rinse well. The whitening effect also works with self-tanners.
Remove stubborn self-tanner
It can be quite difficult to remove the self-tanner, especially if it is very fresh. However, it should be possible using the methods above. Combine different methods to remove the residue.
How long does self-tanner last on the skin?
The artificial tan with self-tanner lasts about five to seven days. It all depends on the product used, your skin type and how quickly your personal skin renewal process takes place.
You can remove self-tanner faster with scrubs and self-tanner removers. If you want to enjoy your fake tan for longer, gradual tanning lotions are ideal for boosting the tan.
No more self-tanning accidents: apply self tan correctly
So next time you want to do better and not have to touch up spots, streaks or uneven results? Then follow our five tips for your next self-tanning session:
- Preparation is everything: You should prepare your skin 24 hours before the actual tanning session. This means taking a long shower or bath, exfoliating your skin and then applying a good moisturizer.
- The right amount: Use one to two pumps per body part, such as the shin and calf.
- The perfect order: Start with your legs and then work your way up. Feet, hands and face come last.
- Helpful tools: Be sure to use a tanning mitt for your body and apply the self tan evenly in circular movements. For hands, feet and face, use a handy kabuki brush to work the self tanning formula in well.
