There are some people who are blessed with naturally tan skin. And then, there are others (like myself) who are as white as snow.
While many of us dream of having tan skin all year round, no one wants to sign themselves up for skin cancer by laying in a tanning bed once a week. Instead, there are safe, effective ways to get that sunkissed glow–like, by getting a spray tan.
When getting a spray tan, there are some rules you’re supposed to follow–how long you should wait before showering, how long you should wait before wearing anything white. Many of these rules are easily accessible in the salon where you get your spray tan. One of the rules, always, is never cry after getting a spray tan.
Why?
Well, one Twitter user–Alex–learned the hard way that crying after a spray tan is about the worst thing you can do.
As you can see, her face is pretty streaky and multi-colored now. While it looks pretty awful, you can’t help but laugh at how hilarious it is, too (sorry girl). After sharing it on Twitter, a lot of people felt for her.

Some people shard their own experience with botched spray tans.

And, some offered her some solid advice for clearing it right up.
I work at a tanning place and If you want to fix use either rubbing alcohol, exfoliating wipes, or windex(yes really it works)!!!
