Here’s your fast fix for a fake tan gone wrong. Take a shower and let the hot water soften your skin and open your pores. Next, dampen an exfolatior mitt (wring out excess water) and scrub up and down in a vertical motion. Watch your tan flake off and fade before your eyes.

Dirty hair but no time to shower (and no dry shampoo)? Sprinkle a little baby powder into your roots. Wait a few minutes (allowing talc to absorb dirt or oil) and then brush out.
