    How can one remove an unwanted self tan?

    • Exfoliating the skin vigorously.

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    All these methods aid in self-tan removal by targeting the outer layer of the skin where the tan resides. Lemon juice's citric acid helps lighten the tan gradually. Specialized tan removal products often contain ingredients designed to break down and dissolve the self-tanning components. Vigorous exfoliation accelerates the natural shedding of skin cells, promoting an even fade of the self-tan. It's essential to exercise caution to prevent skin irritation and choose a method aligned with individual skin sensitivity.
