I wanted a summer glow so fake tanned my face but broke the simplest rule – safe to say I was left with the worst fail
A WOMAN has shared how she experienced a major fake tan fail after forgetting to wash her hands when she applied some gradual drops.
Jen Mather wanted to give her face a slightly bronzed look, so turned to some self-tanning drops.
All was going well, as Jen added the drops to her moisturiser and applied it to her face.
However, the social media user then got distracted and committed a major fail – she didn’t wash her hands.
And her mistake cost her big time, as Jen took to her TikTok profile @jjmather to show the outcome.
She explained: “So I fake tanned last night, I put some tanning drops on my face – the gradual thing.
“And I forgot to wash my hand afterwards,” she added.
Jen then held her hand up to the camera to reveal a big part of it had turned totally orange.
The stain, which ran from her knuckles up to her fingers, was noticeably darker than her skin tone, and she said she couldn’t believe she’d allowed it to happen.
The social media user, who has 18k followers on TikTok, said: “I’m so useless…”
But in the video titled ‘Fake tan fail’, she said the reason she’d revealed her fake tan faux pas was so that she could get some advice.
Jen asked her online following: “So am I stuck with that orange patch on my hand?
“Or is there any way I can get it off?!”
Luckily, lots of people came to Jen’s aid in the comment section of her post – and told her it had majorly entertained them.
They took it in turns to suggest quick-fix ways she might be able to reduce the shade, or get rid of it altogether.
One wrote: “Exfoliate. May take a few tries.
“Or white vinegar on a cotton pad.”
A second suggested: “Try a dishwasher tablet with a little lemon juice.”
But it seems Jen is still searching for a solution, as she laughed as she told Fabulous: “I think that fake tan is stuck there for a few days!”
