I tried many remedies to remove the fake tan from my hands, soap, oil and vinegar only did so much. The best thing by far was simply household bleach. ( got desperate was ready to try anything) simply apply it directly to your hands and rub. it foamed up to this pretty green colour (not scary) and came off in an instant. If you do this remember to moisterise your hands liberally as this may dry out your skin.. It's become my new best friend. Seriously TRY IT!!
