How to Fix a Streaky Tan from Self-Tanner

By Julyne Derrick, About.com

Uh-oh, your self-tanning effort has resulted in orange streaks, leaving you looking like a Halloween candy corn. How to fix?

Cut a lemon in half, squeezing juice onto a cotton ball. Wipe the streaky orange areas. Candy corn effect should be diluted within minutes.

Don't have a lemon on hand? Try a baking soda paste made with a few drops of water. Massage the paste into the streaky areas.

To avoid a streaky self-tan, apply moisturizer on your extra dry parts, especially around knees, elbows and fingers, and make sure to blend, blend, blend during application.
