Time to embrace your natural colour!
The UK and Ireland is facing into a fake tan shortage ahead of the festive party season.
It's over supply problems with a key ingredient in cosmetics called ethoxydiglycol.
Its used in a wide range of fake tan products, skin creams and beauty products.
The increase in demand for ethoxydiglycol means its price has increased from £12.10 (€14.10) to £103 (€120.50).
But many suppliers are now completely out of stock.
I’m stuck between stocking up on fake tan if there’s really a shortage and also thinking maybe they’re saying that so we go out and buy loads to think there’s a shortage. Hmmmm? pic.twitter.com/AAmuM96TWN

Many big brands such as St Tropez, Bondi Sands, and St Moriz will likely be hit by the shortage.
According to her.ie, a UK online pharmacy, Medicine Direct uncovered the data.
And it's not only tan that'll be affected.
The shortage may also affect makeup, hair dye, and skincare supplies in the coming weeks.
Many people are tweeting panicking saying they won't leave the house once their tan supply runs out.
If there is a fake tan shortage there is gunna be a shortage of me leaving the house?

There’s a UK shortage of fake tan or rather a shortage of a key ingredient. I’m devastated. I don’t know how I’ll cope.#brexitshambles #Strictly
