I put some fake tan on my face, washed it off, but my face has lots of speckled red patches?

this is around 5 hours after the event. And I have a photo shoot tomorrow! Will they go by the morning? I wasn't planning to wear makeup (I'm a guy), but should I? They aren't sticking out by the wayI put some fake tan on my face, washed it off, but my face has lots of speckled red patches?
what you do is first stop worrying, relax and don't forget to breathe:))





You need to use a facial scrub to even out your skin. The red patches are probably the self tanner on your dead skin, which didn't absorb. Therefore you need to use a facial scrub, and wash your face. That should definitely get it off.





OR that may be an allergic reaction. if it is, go to the pharmacy and they will help you. however, I don't think that can be done by tomorrow.





Here are some creams for that:





The Do鈥檚 and Don鈥檛 in the Prevention section are really the key to minimizing your eczema or dry skin, but there are medications and other products that help further.





Hydrocortisone is an anti-inflammatory steroid cream. Its low potency makes it safe for self-care. Hydrocortisone blocks allergic/immune skin reactions which trigger eczematous rashes, and can speed healing of inflamed and cracked skin regardless of the cause. Hydrocortisone is probably the strongest anti-itching cream available.


Colloidal oatmeal baths and cleansers re-moisturize the dry stratum corneum skin layer, lubricate and help control your itching. Use oatmeal-based cleansing bars as soap replacements since they won鈥檛 strip your skin of helpful surface oils.


Moisturizers and humectants. Most of us call moisturizers ';lotion'; or ';hand cream.'; They simply leave an oily coating on your skin which prevents more evaporation and dryness. Humectants take this a step further and actually draw moisture from the air into your skin. Both soften the rash and stop you from itching.


Keratolytics actually break down dead, thickened skin and help remove flakes and heavy crusts. This speeds up your body鈥檚 natural skin healing process, and exposes the healthier skin below more quickly. Keratolytics should be used in combination with moisturizers or humectants to maintain hydration of the new skin.








PS: here are some tips to get rid of the patches if it not allergies:





*lemon juice and salt- lots of it- mixed with a little bit of moisturizer. scrub scrub scrub-





*If you can't remove the stains from your face, you might have to cover them up for a while with some liquid make-up and face powder.





*VERY CAREFULLY try washing your face with a magic eraser sold in any cleaning isle in the supermarket. i used it on my ankle and knees and it worked great, however the package does say NOT TO USE IT ON SKIN, MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. GOOD LUCK





*Over Done Sunless Self Tanner: Home Remedies %26amp; Tips for Removing








Self tanners are one of the finest inventions because they let would-be sun bunnies go golden brown without ever having to expose yourself to the actual sun. With the ozone layer depleted, the risk of skin cancer from sun exposure has greatly increased, but we all like the glow that says, ';Yes, while you've been slaving away in your cubicle, I've been lazily tanning at the beach';. Sunless tanner is the way to be a golden girl without forsaking your job, your kids, your graduate education or your winter in the Chicago suburbs.





Fake 鈥榥鈥?Bake in a Bottle


Getting the right suntan in a bottle takes a little work, and it's better to pay for the more upscale self tanner if it's going to get you a smooth, even coat in a realistic color. This is no time to be cheap! But even the best sunless tanners can leave you a fake bake orange if you don't apply them correctly, with stealth, patience and continuity. Most self tanning lotions or foams say to reapply every two or three days, because the effect wears off fast.





Removing Splotches and Orange Color Caused By Self Tanners


And that fading effect is what's going to save you if you're wondering how to remove an overdose of self tanner. If you're lucky, it's just your hands or hands and feet that have turned orange, maybe because you forgot to wear gloves when applying the lotion or because your feet got a few more coats than your legs. You can easily fix the sunless tanning orange by waiting a few days鈥攁s the outer layer of skin sheds off, the color will come with it. We're all losing skin cells by the thousands each day, so if you can wait, you need do nothing else to get rid of your fake tan. But if the color is an issue because of an important event, tips on removing sunless tanner tend to recommend the use of baking soda. Put a nice blob of baking soda on a washcloth and gently rub it on damp skin. The baking soda exfoliates the skin, speeding up the loss of tanner, and it can be used on your body without the potential chemical complications that would come along with peroxide or bleach. Don't rub yourself raw, even if you're desperate to get the stuff off: give it a little rub, rinse off and wait a couple of hours before trying again.





Home Remedy to Fix Over Applying Sunless Tanner


Baking soda is a home remedy for so many ailments that it's surprising they don't sell it in five gallon containers. If you've used too much sunless tanner all over your body, you can dump several cups of baking soda into your bathtub and crawl in with it. Add water and soak. Basically, you're softening the skin, making it easier for the outer layer to slough and using the whitening properties of baking soda to help provide a little gentle bleaching action. Take your loofah and gently scrub feet, ankles, elbows and other places where the tanning liquid may have collected and created splotches.





For orange or too-brown fingernails and hands or toenails and feet, you can apply a facial cream bleach for around ten minutes, but don't try to use this stuff on other parts of your body: your skin will probably react to it in unpleasant ways.





To cover up sunless tanner on your face while it's wearing off, try layering mineral makeup over it, applying to your neck as well. Use a tinted moisturizer in green or blue to try to counteract seriously orange skin, and add your makeup on top of that. Exfoliate gently at night with an oatmeal scrub and remind yourself that in a few days it will be like nothing happened at all.





GOOD LUCK. i HOPE YOUR PHOTOSHOT GOES FANTASTIC! %26lt;3I put some fake tan on my face, washed it off, but my face has lots of speckled red patches?
You are probably having a slight allergic reaction to the tanning agent. What you can do is use a very gentle cleanser on your face, then apply some cortisone 1% (any drugstore will have it) and leave it on overnight. That should calm the redness down. If that doesn't work, see if the makeup artist can use a green-based cover up (physician's formula makes a great liquid one) and then he/she can use a neutral foundation to go over that. Worst case scenario try dermablend (which can be purchased at any macy's, nordstroms or jcpenney makeup counter) this covers even the most difficult marks, scars and blotches. Hope some of these suggestions help. Good luck!
