Still seeing stubborn patches? This is where we get science-y. Mix baking soda with a little water to make a paste.
Rub it gently on the trouble zones. It’s mildly abrasive but also lifts the color chemically. It’s a two-for-one deal.
Let it sit for two minutes. Then rinse. You’ll feel like a magician pulling a rabbit from a hat.
Step Three: The Lemon Juice Myth (and the Truth)
You’ve heard about lemon juice, right? Don’t do it. It’s too acidic and will leave you with raw, stinging skin. Not cute.
Instead, use white vinegar in your bathwater. Just a cup. It balances your skin’s pH and loosens that tan like a bad relationship.
Soak for 15 minutes. Read a book. Pretend you’re at a fancy spa, not a fake-tan crime scene.
