I went to get a spray tan yesterday and when I woke up this am I HAD ORANGE STAINED HANDS – PALMS, IN BETWEEN MY FINGERS AND ALL ACROSS MY KNUCKLES. I LOOKED RIDICULOUS! So after my initial FREAK OUT, and multiple home remidies….I have finally removed it!
First I tried exfoliating…..it started the removal but not close to what I needed….I then moved to lemon juice……nope, that didn’t work! Next peroxide….it helped….but I was still a mess. BLEACH – oh yeah baby – the bleach worked. I pored bleach (pure not diluted) into a small cup and applied it with a Q-tip. I applied it in between my fingers – this was the really orange area – and rubbed it in. I then carefully worked the bleach across my knuckles and over my cuticles and finally my palms. It took about 10 minutes and many applications of bleach to remove, but my hands look great!
WHEW crisis resolved.
Oh and I wish I was calm enough to think about taking a picture of my stained hands….but I was so concerned with getting it off…it didn’t cross my mind until it was fixed.
Tricia.
