"To remove your tan, my trick is to run a warm bath and pour some oil in it. My favourite soak is by Vieve. Scrub your body with a flannel and your tan will come off easily."

"Dust powder over potentially sweaty areas – think backs of the knees, around your neck – after you've applied your tan to help it set."

"For a streak-free finish on my face, I swear by St. Mortiz's mini mitt. It also means you don't get any colour gathering between your fingers."

"If after a few days your tan is starting to look patchy, the easiest way to remove it is with glycolic acid. It's great for shifting the colour quickly without the need for any scrubbing." 

Jenn George

Beauty Director & Acting Senior Wellness Editor

"Using a body scrub the night before (not right before you start tanning) makes all the difference when it comes to creating an even finish. The one I like is by Beauty Pie."

"If you're new to the world of self-tan like me, start with a gradual formula that you can build up."

"For hard-to-reach areas like your back, use a mist. It really does all the hard work for you."
