5 Summer Beauty Myths You Need to Stop Believing

If your only experience of fake tan is using a sticky lotion with an eight-hour developing time, I can understand why you only fake tan once in a blue moon. But recent innovations have made it much easier to avoid stained sheets and biscuit-like aromas, making it easier than ever to get the only truly "safe" tan there is.
St Tropez's revolutionary in-shower gradual tan (£15) allows you to build a glow in three minutes while your conditioner is working its magic. There's also a similar product on offer from Rimmel (£10). If you need that glow in a hurry, try the new formulas that can be washed off in as little as an hour. Cocoa Bronze leads the way with its 1-hour tanning mousse (£8) while He-Shi offers a liquid formula (£23.50), and celeb tanner James Read brings you a luxe version with his Express Tan (£30).
If longevity is the issue for you, Vita Liberata's pHenomenal 2-3 week tan (£25) lasts far longer than anything else on the market and will easily see you through a Summer holiday. It also fades evenly, so when it does disappear, you don't look patchy.
