Applying fake tan can go one of two ways - it can be a nightmare or look like a dream.

We all know that things can go wrong when fake tanning , but when we get it right we love having that gorgeous sunkissed glow straight from the bottle.

But have you ever noticed your nails when you put on fake tan?

It could be through either applying tan to your hands or your glove being too thin, but nothing looks more unappealing than when the stuff gets caught in your fingernails and looks dirty - just gross!

It's not an uncommon mistake, but it is hard to budge.

However, there is a method you can try out to clean your nails once and for all while still having beautifully bronzed skin.

Recommended by Good Looking Tan, all you need is some lemon juice, tea tree oil, hand cream and roughly 20 minutes to spare.

Here's what you need to do:

  1. Fill up a basin with warm water mild soap. Soak your nails for 10 minutes.
  2. Using a cuticle trimmer, cut away any dead and stained skin away from the nail base.
  3. Refill the basin with warm water and this time add some tea tree oil to it. Soak your hands for a few minutes.
  4. Use a clean and spare toothbrush to scrub your nails. Reach everywhere - under your nails and nail beds included.
  5. Soak a cotton pad in lemon juice and gently rub onto each nail. Wash your hands afterwards with warm water.
  6. Apply some hand cream onto your nails to keep them moisturised and prevent them drying out.

Now your nails are clean and healthy and your hands are still perfectly tanned. Win-win!
