The sun is out ... it must be fake tan time

And as our picture goes to show, you can be one of the UK's biggest stars and you still will have problems perfecting a perfect fake tan finish. Cheryl spotted here at the Birmingham X-Factor auditions gave away her little secret with her white wrists and super brown arms.

Don't do a Cheryl! The key to flawless bronzing and lust-have fake tan is all in the preparation. Exfoliation is key for a smooth finish so try our Body Nutrition Body Scrub, then follow with a light body moisturiser like our Body Nutrition Body Smoothie.

For fake tan, we've got a number of solutions - if you're a bit nervous start off with a wash off formula like our Bronzed Beauty Instant Tan (an ideal instant solution if you're caught out when the sun shines ... easily done in this Country). For a spray tan finish (like Cheryl uses) try our Spray On Sunshine (perfect for reaching those hard to get to places). Or to ensure you're avoiding Cheryl's slightly patchwork look, use our new Summertime Skin which builds a gentle glow and can be used on the face as well as the body.

Finally, to avoid looking like a member of the white hand gang, wash your hands, then apply a couple of blobs of fake tan to the back of hands, then rub together. Guaranteed to give you a glowing tan that won't be featured in the circle of horror!
