A woman who has fake tanned for 15 years mixed six different brands together as she is ‘never dark enough’ but it ended in a disaster when her face turned khaki green. 

BobbieJo Houston, from Blackpool, tried mixing several different fake tan brands to create her own perfect bronze colour.

The 39-year-old put together a concoction of Bondi Sands, St. Moriz, St. Tropez, tanning drops, bronzing oils and Molly Mae’s Filter in the hopes her face would come out a ‘nice colour in the morning’.

The mother said she has tried countless tanning methods but is always disappointed when she washes it off in the morning and the colour is not as dark as would have liked.

She unfortunately found out the hard way that her experiment had failed as she woke up looking a little different to what she is used to.

The 39-year-old said she has tried numerous fake fans but they never come out dark enough

BobbieJo manged to get off all the fake tan after scrubbing her face and showed the final results 

She took to TikTok to share her panic and see if anyone had a solution to her problem and to her surprise, more than five million people saw her crisis unfold.

Her 19-year-old daughter, Bella Bristol, was shocked at her mother’s fake tan nightmare, but at first BobbieJo did not believe it was ‘that bad’, adding that she would go out in public with it slathered all over her face. 

But a little later, she updated her followers on the tan’s progress and said: ‘Everything is going wrong, I’m getting greener by the hour.

‘I’ve been doing tan for over 15 years, I don’t know what’s going on. I’m sleeping with a couple of towels.

‘I’m praying it’s not a tinge of green still. In the light, it’s khaki green. You can’t see my eyebrows at all.’

BobbieJo woke up at 8.30 the following morning and expressed her concerns as she and her daughter had a special day planned.

‘I am worried now because me and my daughter are going somewhere really nice for the day,’ she said.

BobbieJo woke up at 8.30 the morning after she fake tanned and was still looking green, so she desperately scrubbed her face 

The mother showed her followers what her hands looked like after she fake tanned her face 

‘We’ve got the most beautiful day planned, afternoon tea, there’s a lot of people going, it’s on a cruise ship. A lot of the people will be 70 plus, can you imagine when they see me?’

She also expressed concern because both she and her daughter don’t wear makeup, so she did not have products to cover her vibrant fake tan.  

Green-coloured fake tan stains were also smeared all over her white pillowcases and duvet cover.

BobbieJo desperately rubbed her face with several makeup wipes in a bid to scrub off the chemicals, adding that some followers advised her to use lemon juice. 

‘I didn’t think it would happen you know, I wouldn’t have left it on this long, not when I’ve got somewhere to go, I would’ve washed it off sooner,’ she said. 

Thousands of TikTok users took to the videos she posted to comment their thoughts and give BobbieJo some advice.

One wrote: ‘Reminds me of that episode of friends when Ross got the spray tan and teeth whitening lol.’

Another said: ‘If that doesn’t come off it will be hilarious.’

A third commented: ‘This has made my week it’s just [too] much.’ 

Thankfully, BobbieJo was able to scrub off the fake tan in time for the afternoon tea with her daughter. 

She said: ‘I posted a self tan experiment that turned into a disaster at first. Then I had a good wash, if you will.

‘Millions of viewers knew I had a canal cruise afternoon tea booked for my daughter and they all thought I would have to attend [looking] green.

‘But I shocked TikTok by fixing my error on my face and managing to go perfectly tanned.’
