I want to remove spray fake tan in a hurry

Options
Went to superdrug bought Viatek spray gun fake tan It was £6.99 when I got to the till but I mentioned it was on the reduced shelf and was 99p so she adjusted it accordingly.I got an empty Mr Muscle cleaned out bottle and sprayed it on last night and now I look like I have leprocy,like bathed in gravy.I even need to hide my hands.Thought I was being clever :rotfl: Its gone right in to the pigment of my skin.Help how do I get it off.It stays on for 7 - 10, days.Need to remove quick.Soap doesnt work.Thanks.

    TRied scrubbing with a damp towel? If you could venture out,i think san tropez do a fake tan remover.

    loads of body scrub all over the bad areas followed by rubbing with a cut lemon is supposed to work. then no doubt pain killers and a vat of moisturiser :D

    I'm sure I saw on a morning tv show once, something to do with rubbing toothpaste into it. Maybe not a good idea if you have just scrubbed hard though!

    I am p!ssing myself laughing here (and i hope you will too in time to come). It is so funny reading real life problems/hiccups like this.

    No advice to give, but please, please, please post some pictures!! (i'd love to see what fake tan looks like after been applied with an empty Mr Muscle spray bottle!)

    youve actually dyed your top layers of skin so exfoliation really is only way.Shower and scrub.Should go in a few days.
    Sorry!
