Is
your skin ready for fun in the sun? Here's our guide on how to get
silky, perfectly bronzed skin all summer long:
Step 1: Exfoliation is the key to glowing skin year-round. Pay
special attention to particularly dry areas like elbows, knees and
feet. Just completing this step will make your skin look much more
radiant than before, guaranteed!
Step 2: Moisturize! This is the key to fighting off dry,
dull-looking skin. It'll also helps to retain pigment longer and
more evenly, which is vital if you plan on using a self-tanner.
Step 3: If you are going to tan this summer, self-tanner is one of
your best bets for glowy, bronzed skin. This will give you that
natural sun-kissed look and protect your skin from aging faster.
Step 4: Sunscreen should be part of your daily ritual, but it's a
must-have if you're going to spend hours in the sun. Before you hit
the beach, slather on sunscreen 30 minutes prior to protect your
skin from harmful rays. Then, re-apply every two hours or after a
dip in the water (even if it says waterproof!).
Step 5: Skip the makeup. If you really can't go without it, apply a
coat of waterproof mascara. Swipe on some tinted lip balm with SPF
15.
Step 6: Soothe overly warm skin after long days in the summer
heat by using a body mist to hydrate and purify the skin.
