    Try nail varnish remover but remember to moisturise again afterwards. Best thing is to wash your hands after you have applied it x

    instead of washing you hands with soap and water use an antibacterial lotion. this will get off the self tanner but only on the spots you want to rub it in. i use to get tanning lotion all on my hands, i started using that and it works perfect.

    Lemon Juice Is Good. Next Time Use The Gloves. The girls before me are right. and if you dont use the gloves wash hands A.S.A.P or your hands will turn yellow. but dont worry it should be like 2 or 3 days..

    Apply to your arms then wash hands with hot water and soap, when dry put a tiny amount on the back of your hand and rub toghether with the back of the other hand.

    Best solution i've found - alternative is to get someone else to do it for you!

    Windex, baking soda with water and an exfoliate will help get sunless tanner off. But the only thing that really works is time and exfoliating.

    The best thing to do is apply it with gloves. If you go to your local chemist they sell them specifically for self tanning.

    Rinse it off with hot soapy water. The next time you put it on you should wash your hands immediately.

    Use the juice of a fresh lemon, and rub it into your hands.
