Well it's almost 4 AM and i'm up because I have to go get my cousin's dog at the airport before he leaves for his wedding in Maui...but I used that Banana Boat spray tan stuff last night and I look HORRIBLE. My arms are so streaky I look like I have some kind of disease. To make things worse, I have to go to gymnastics at 9. If you have any ideas for evening things out and getting the dang tan off besides using a scrub....PLEASE TELL ME!!!! lol thank you!!!!

There is really nothing you can do except scrub it to the best of your abilities and hope that some of it comes off. I've heard that lemon juice works too, but have never tried it myself. It may be acidic, but I doubt that it will take everything off.
I know when I used to use the Banana Boat lotion, I'd swim in a pool (chlorine and all), and the tan would only fade a little bit. You'd think with all the chemicals in pools, it would wash off... but it didn't.

Good luck!

This may be a little late, but i find that taking a hot bath usually get's rid of it (and i usually don't want to get rid of my fake tan lol).

Thank you so much for the replies!! And nope, they're not too late because I realized this afternoon I have to go to a pool party tomorrow lol. I tried to 'fill in' the streaky places tonight and i'm praying that it comes out even LOL If it doesn't, I'll skip the shower in the morning and take a hot bath like suggested. Thank you again!

Lol I had this happen to me once too. I forget which brand I used but I wanted to get all nice and tanned for this special *all day* outing event for the next day. Well I got tanned alright, but my arms were streaky and one of my hands was way tanner than the other LOL. Thing is though, I didn't notice my hand until I opened my car door just getting ready to go. I totally freaked out and tried my best to hide that hand for the entire day.

I agree with the lemon juice that it may work, you should try soaking in a hot bath with some, and hydrogen peroxide. Good luck with everything!!
