I find the best way to get rid of it is by using exfoliating gloves with shower gel or cream. Keep scrubbing and rinsing till it all comes off. Good luck!

try your local beauticians or Boots as they usually have something to at least reduce the colour a bit.  other than that its a case of exfoliating and scrubbing - been here so many times I have sympathy!!

Answer 15

Just jump in the shower and scrub yourself with the scrub side of the sponge do that twice and it should have cleared up.

If that doesn't work you can get fake tan remover stuff but its pricey  

Answer 16

Exfoliate, and use a nail brush to rub it in and away.  Be gentle, as I made the mistake of desperately trying to get rid of it and causing myself to bleed!  So yeah, expect it to take a few days of firm but gentle scrubbing.
