F I S H S K I N T A N N I N G A T H O M E 197 Change your tea each day according to the chart in the tea section. Stir, stir, stir! At day 4, snip a little corner off your skin to check how it's doing. If it's still white on the inside it's not done tanning, and you can keep going and make a stronger tea if needed. When the skin is the same colour throughout, it is finished being tanned! Give or take about 6 days and it will be tanned! STEP FIVE: OILING, STRETCHING AND DRYING Wash your skin really well with cold water and dish soap to get any excess tannins of the skin. Wring out your skin in a tea towel to take out as much moisture as possible. Coat your skin with the oil of your choice, and work that oil into the skin. Using your hands and any other tools you want to try, stretch the skin and continue to work it as it dries.
