"  Summer is FINALLY here but, thanks to all that rain, we&amp;#039;re horribly unprepared. It&amp;#039;s not surprising that self-tanning sales have rocketed to their highest ever... Faking it has never been so easy! HOW TO GUIDE: APPLYING SELF-TAN According to the folks at Ultimo, fake tan range UTan has seen the highest sales ever, as body-conscious Brits are scrambling to get themselves summer-ready and prepared to slip into those short skirts and summer dresses. After all, how better to accessorise this summer than with a beautiful golden tan? TOP 10 FAKE TANS Michelle Mone OBE, founder of Ultimo, has attributed the record-breaking fake tan sales to the &amp;quot;heatwave effect&amp;quot;: &amp;quot;Us Brits have to make the most of the sun whilst we have it. Our customers are reaching for their summer dresses and in turn our sales figures since Saturday show they are stocking up on UTan to look their sun-kissed best. I&amp;#039;ve been using the products religiously whilst I&amp;#039;ve been on holiday.&amp;quot; It&amp;#039;s no secret that fake tanning is the celebrity approved way to get that golden glow; from Kate Middleton to Michelle Heegan, there&amp;#039;s a shade to suit everyone and, with plenty of self-tans available for first-timers (hey there, self-tan virgins!), applying that perfect summer glow has never been easier. KATE MIDDLETON IS THE QUEEN OF SELF-TAN Even Emma Watson, famed for her English rose complexion, has embraced the world of fake tanning; it just goes to show that you can steer clear of the overdone look (sorry TOWIE girls!) and try something a little more natural - perfect for showing off with a summer dress! Faking the golden glow is far safer than lying out in the sun all day and, thanks to UTan&amp;#039;s unique ingredients, the celeb-fave product helps you get your body looking tanned AND toned for summer.
