Self-Tanner Emergency? Here's How to Fix the Most Common Mistakes

If your tan isn't as smooth and flawless as you'd like, run a hot bath, but instead of adding bubbles, pour in a generous glug of bath oil (olive oil will also work in a pinch). Soak your skin for at least 15 minutes, allow the oil to soften and loosen dry patches, then gently rub at the problem areas with a washcloth. You should find that the worst of it lifts off, allowing you to blend away any patches.
