8 Self-Tan Erasers That Actually Work

If you’re nervous about getting self-tan wrong, a good eraser could help you get rid of unwanted streaks or patchiness – or even start again. Here are the ones we rate…

Self Tan Eraser, £17 | Bare By Vogue

Although this will effectively get rid of uneven fading or patches of old tan, it’s also a real treat for the skin. The formula is full of nourishing extracts like oatmeal and chamomile, which leaves skin feeling cushioned and soft, not to mention ready for your next layer of colour. Using it couldn’t be easier either – simply let it sit on skin for ten minutes before rinsing it off using an exfoliating mitt.

Glow Tan Eraser, £5 | Boots

Although not suited for a full body application, this mist-on tan eraser is perfect for addressing any hard to reach or isolated patches of tan, such as scaliness on the elbows, knees and ankles. The spray-on applicator makes a usually arduous job feel more pampering, while the price makes it a great last-minute fix.

Self Tan Eraser, £13.99 (was £17.49) | Bondi Sands

If you like a fuss-free tan and tan removal experience, it doesn’t get much easier than this easy foam eraser. To use it, apply the foam to skin – in the shower as you would a body cleanser – and rub in. The gently exfoliating ingredients do all the hard work for you, so there’s no need to scrub; after five minutes all you need to do is simply rinse with water. Thanks to the whipped formula, skin feels supple, not stripped.

Over It Self-Tan Eraser, £19.95 | Isle Of Paradise

This clever formula bills itself as a full body glycolic treatment which gently cleanses, exfoliates and resurfaces skin, leaving it smooth and free from any patchy self-tan residue. The formula also contains micellar water – usually the preserve of skincare formulas – which means it leaves skin scrupulously clean as well. As if that weren’t enough, it also contains a hydrating complex of grapefruit, chia seed and avocado oils. So, while it’s perfect for removing self-tan, it also makes for a great skin smoothing treatment.

Tan Removing & Skin Polishing Glove, £27.95 | Loving Tan

If you prefer a more manual approach to removing the last few flakes of tan, this double-sided glove is a great option. While one side is good for a deeper, more intensive first-stage scrub, the other is a gentler resurfacer that’s works well if you need a lighter touch or just want to remove more surface-level streaks. It also preps skin before a tan as it removes any surface oils that might get in the way of a seamless application.

Fake Tan Remover & Primer Mousse, £10 (was £15) | St. Tropez

Although it reads like a luxury skincare product, with softening cotton extract and probiotics to rebalance agitated skin, this foaming mousse is a great hybrid product to add to your self-tan kit. As well as erasing any uneven streaks or patchiness, it’s also a lovely way to ensure your skin is prepped and primed for a smooth and seamless tan. While using it in conjunction with an exfoliating mitt will yield the best and fastest results, you can simply let it sit on the skin and rinse it off if you prefer.

Glyco Water Self-Tan Eraser Exfoliating Tan Remover & Primer, £24 | Tan-Luxe

The beauty of this infused tan removing water is you don’t need to scrub your skin raw for it to be effective – plus, it doesn’t dry your skin out either. Although it contains an effective dose of glycolic acid to rid the skin of remnants of self-tan, it’s gentle enough to use on the face as well as the body.

Miracle Tan Eraser, £7.49 (was £9.99) | Skinny Tan

As well as removing unwanted patches or streaks, this hardworking formula is a great option if you also suffer from back breakouts or spots on your chest. The salicylic acid not only breaks down the tanning agent but will also refine skin’s texture to keep blemishes at bay.
