7 Self Tan Removers That Actually Work
If your once beautifully bronzed body is slowly starting to resemble a loaf of tiger bread – streaky and a little dry – it’s a sign that your fake tan needs to be scrubbed off, ASAP.

Enter; tan remover. Self tan removers are the wonder product that help stubborn streaks slide off your skin. Formulated with a bunch of oils that break down tough tanning pigment, they’re ultimately a fast track to a tan-free complexion.
