Some unavoidably common stains on bedding are areas of discolouration from sweat and body oils. It’s natural for us humans to sweat and shed while we sleep; as a natural consequence, our bodily excretions contain substances that can cause white bedding to turn yellow. And, if you think that using more deodorant would reduce this staining, think again; the aluminium in deodorant mixes with chemicals in your sweat, which actually results in more noticeable yellow stains. With all of that in mind, even the most cleanly individuals will face sweat stains on their bedding from time to time. As always, the best way to apply fake tan is to follow the advice of tanning experts. See James Read’s foolproof self-tanning tips below. Each tanning water will most likely come with individual instructions, however it's often a case of spraying over the skin before lightly blending with a tanning mitt. Of course, it always helps to prep the skin before. We recommend exfoliating your skin and applying moisturiser to any dry areas such as elbows and knees before applying. Once you are satisfied with the results, choose between air drying or tumble drying your bedding. For air drying, hang the bedding outside or in a well-ventilated area, preferably under direct sunlight. This method helps remove any lingering odours and lets the fabric breathe, ensuring a fresh scent for your bedding.

There is no indication that fake tan is bad for your skin if applied correctly. Many people are curious about the ingredient that serves up that golden glow. DHA is the active ingredient that reacts with the top layer of dead skin cells and alters the pigment. As it’s only reacting with the top layer of dead skin, this is why your fake tan only lasts for around seven to ten days as your skin naturally sheds and rejuvenates. The levels of DHA in most self-tanners is between 3% and 5% which is non-toxic and non-carcinogenic.

Rimmel SunShimmer Self Tan Mousse Be careful where you stand when you apply your fake tan, keep away from porous surfaces, like wooden floors, or tiles with grout, as these can absorb fake tan easily. We’d recommend standing on a towel and putting the bath mat away when fake tanning. Like with hair dye, you should wipe up any spills or drips of fake tan as soon as possible to avoid stains.

Getting a fake tan is a popular way to achieve a sun-kissed glow without exposing the skin to harmful UV rays. However, it's not uncommon for some of the product to transfer onto your bed sheets, leaving unsightly stains that ruin their appearance. If you've found yourself in this situation, don't panic – there are practical methods you can employ to remove those stubborn fake tan marks from your bedding. To effectively remove fake tan stains from bedding, start by applying a stain remover specifically designed for fabric. Apply the stain remover following the manufacturer's instructions.

It’s not the tan that is staining your bedsheets, it’s the guide colour that is added to many self-tanners to help with a more precious application. For stain-free sheets, opt for a fake tan that doesn’t have a guide colour. Alternatively, if you need that guide colour to help with application, wear some loose, dark-coloured pyjamas to avoid ruining your favourite bedding.
