Okay, so you just got a gorgeous airbrush tan and you're feeling like a golden goddess — until you look down at your hands and realize they look like you've been dipping them in brown paint. Sound familiar? Don't worry, we've all been there! X marks the spot on your palms, knuckles the color of old sneakers — yeah, not the look we were going for.
First things first: act fast. The sooner you start the removal process, the easier it'll be. Grab a trusty glove and fill it with white sugar scrub — the coarser, the better. Yes, it's a tad messy in your kitchen sink, but trust me, your hands will thank you later.
Next up, pretend your hands are having a mini spa day. Rub them together for about three to five minutes, paying extra attention to those dreaded orange knuckles. The exfoliating power of sugar works absolute wonders here.
