    I've heard that if you rub a lemon over it, it removes the streaks.

    Failing that, Boots sell a wipe for correcting tan errors.

    Exfoliate and moisturise, repeat repeat repeat!!!
    Hope you fix it. Failing that Nail Polish remover, not great for the skin but removes everything else
    Good luck

    I really did not want to read anything like this post right now. Am sitting here waiting for my own fake tan to 'develop'! Having been a year since I last self-tanned I was feeling a little nervous anyway, now I am all but running to shower it off!

    hope one of the above remedies work for you. Good luck
