WITH British Summer Time almost upon us it’s time to get out the fake tanner.

For streak-free, no-mess application use a sponge or mitt.

Velvotan make one that has a waterproof backing which keeps hands clean. It’s also machine washable and will see you through a whole season and beyond.

Don’t forget to exfoliate before application of any self tanner to avoid dark patches.

Velvotan applicator mitt is £2.99 and available from Savers and Tesco.
