Jen asked her online following: “So am I stuck with that orange patch on my hand?

“Or is there any way I can get it off?!”

They took it in turns to suggest quick-fix ways she might be able to reduce the shade, or get rid of it altogether.

One wrote: “Exfoliate. May take a few tries.

A second suggested: “Try a dishwasher tablet with a little lemon juice.”
