Bath bombs which remove fake tan in just 10 minutes now exist – and prices start from £8.50
AS much as we love having a sunkissed glow all year round, the faff of fake tan removal is almost enough to make us want to give it up entirely… almost.
After all, tanning (and removing fake tan) should be about pampering yourself – right? Thankfully, we’re not alone in thinking this as one genius beauty brand has invented the world’s first ever bath bombs which wash away fake tan.

And it’s at this point where we just have to pause and ask: how has no one ever thought of this before?
Beauty brand Lusso Tan’s bath bombs are infused with avocado oil, Vitamin E and fatty acids to moisturise the skin.
Meanwhile, the essential oils work to gradually dissolve your tan while anti-inflammatory Witch Hazel and Jojoba Oil reduce reduce and soothe skin.
In other words, you can forget scrubbing your skin until it’s red, raw and fake tan-free.

Explaining how the product works, one of the brand’s founders Lunsey Bennett told Belfast Live: “Your whole bathroom and even the house will smell of lemon and grapefruit oil.
“After about 10 minutes in the bath, you will see your tan just soaking off and all you need to do is give your skin a quick exfoliate as well as it’s so important to remove those dead skin cells.”
And considering how many hours we like to spend soaking in the tub, 10 minutes is no hard feat.
Alternatively, the brand also sells a £14.50 fake tan eraser which gets rid of fake tan in under eight minutes when used in the shower.
Home remedies for removing fake tan:
- Baby Oil:Not only is it incredible at soothing sensitive skin but this magic liquid is also amazing at removing the most stubborn of fake tan disasters. The best way to rid yourself of streaks? Coat the area of fake tan in a layer of baby oil, get in your comfiest loungewear and wait for at least half hour so the oil can absorb into the skin properly
- Lemon Juice: Besides from adding a citrus-y kick to your soft drink, lemon juice also works wonders when removing old fake tan. After all, you can always rely on lemon juice to basically bleach the area and remove the pigmentation. You can either apply directly onto the skin or mix with a cup of sugar to double up as an exfoilator.
- Toothpaste:Boots recommends using whitening toothpaste on any dark patches. They said: “In the same way that toothpaste whitens teeth, it can also lighten fake-tan patches. “Simply pop it onto any particularly unsightly patches, leave on for a minute and then wash off.”
