Kiss and make-up: fake tan removers

Last week we sprayed it on, so this week, friends, let's clean up our tanning mistakes. There are ways to scrub away misdirected fake tan – baby oil, a hot bath and a pumice stone. Lemon juice. Whitening toothpaste, spread generously on shins. But these things take time and make you smell funny, so happily I turn to specially manufactured wipes, saturated with something like nail-varnish remover but less poisony. St Tropez does good tan, but it also does good packs of wipes to remove said tan from errant elbows ( Tan Correcting Cleansing Wipes £5, st-tropez.com ). One day maybe they'll have these for unwanted tattoos. Alternatively...
