How to Easily Get Spray Tan Off Your Hands and Feet
So, you've been enjoying your spray tan, but maybe you touched a wall in the spray room or forgot to wear your sticky feet and got some solution on your palms and feet. Not to worry! Our trusty hands, feet, and even elbows attract DHA (the active tanning ingredient) because they're drier than other parts of our body, causing the tan to over develop there, and stubborn to remove.
We've got some easy tips to wave goodbye to that lingering tan on your hands and feet, ensuring your skin stays even and natural looking.
The Challenge of Hands and Feet With Fake Tanning
Spray tan, and self tan, DHA is attracted to drier areas of the skin. Understanding the right techniques to prep these areas before application and how to remove any tan that developed in those areas is great knowledge to have.
Understanding Spray Tan Composition
Why It Sticks
Before diving into removal methods, it's important to understand why spray tans adhere so strongly to the skin. The active ingredient, Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), reacts with the amino acids in the skin, causing a color change. This reaction, while harmless, needs to be applied to different parts of the body appropriately.
