A mum's 'Incredible Hulk' fake tan disaster left her baby screaming in terror at her new look.
Toni Morton, 25, was preparing for her first night out since giving birth to son Bobby 13 weeks ago - and used some St Moriz medium tanning mousse to give herself a healthy, golden glow.
The new mum lathered herself in the foam, before noticing it seemed to be turning green and getting darker.
After a few hours, Toni knew her look wasn't quite right when she went to check on Bobby - who started screaming when he saw her green skin.
Toni captured a hilarious photo of poor Bobby's face screwed up in terror as he 'didn't recognise' his mum now she looked like 'The Hulk'.
Toni said: "When I first saw the colour I was fuming. I thought 'I'm turning into The Hulk'.
"But when Bobby started cry, I was panicking and wondering what to do - it was scaring him. I don't think he recognised me.
"He was initially asleep when I put it on but a couple of hours later I could hear him awake in his Moses basket so went to see if he was alright.
"The moment he saw me he started crying - his bottom lip dropped and that was it.
"I gave him a bottle and he even cried through that. I ended up sitting him in a chair and putting TV on so he would calm down - it took half an hour."
Toni, who has a naturally pale complexion, shared the 'tanning fail' pictures with her friends who found it 'hilarious'.
But her horror turned to relief after she'd showered and discovered that the tan had turned out 'a lovely colour' when the excess had been washed off.
Toni said: "Every girl's had a fake tan fail at some point. "My friends all think it's hilarious and joked it could only happen to me.
"I was going to a family party that weekend for my first night out since Bobby was born.
"One of my friends always looks really good so I asked her what tan she uses and she said St Moriz.
"I'm really pale so I fancied a change.
"I followed the instructions, put it on and I got darker and darker, then started turning green.
"The bottle says leave it on for around six hours or overnight, then you wash it off in the shower like you would a spray tan. I had it on for two hours and it was turning green.
"This was only medium, they have dark and ultra dark as well.
"I was scrubbing in the shower worried it wouldn't come off and even text my mum to say 'I can't go out the house tomorrow'.
"She text me the next day asking if I needed anything from the shops because she thought I couldn't leave the house.
"But I sent my friend a picture and she was like 'oh my god'.
"Once I'd washed it off the tan was so good though, it was a lovely colour."
St Moriz declined to comment.
