If you’ve ever picked up a magazine during checkout at the grocery store and wondered how all those celebrities manage to look perfect after a day in the sun, read on!
Your swimsuit is just the beginning of a fabulous new look! And I’ve got some tips to help you make it happen.
1. Perfect beach hair in just 2 minutes? To prevent frizz, use extra conditioner and don’t shampoo! Add a little extra pizazz by squeezing lemon juice into your hair before you hit the sun for some natural (and free!) highlights.
2. Wear a hat. And not just any old baseball cap you find lying around! Straw cowboy hats are always in style, but you can really add the glamor with something wide-brimmed a la Sophia Loren.
3. Moisturize before you go! Moisturizing will keep your skin from getting dry and patchy, with the added benefit of a dewy glow. Don’t forget to add sunblock on top even if your moisturizer has SPF!
4. Add a touch of makeup for a little drama without all the disappointing meltdown. You can buy waterproof mascara at any pharmacy, and a lot of designer lines these days have wisened up and now offer a full range of waterproof makeup – even foundation and eye shadow! I love modern technology!
5. Accessorize! A long necklace really adds to the heat, and it’s easy to take off when you want to tan. Meanwhile, a breezy sarong or an airy cover-up is the perfect complement to a gorgeous swimsuit -throw one on instead of struggling to tug your sandy clothes over a wet bathing suit. Slip on some jeweled flip flops, grab your free beach bag, and you’re ready to go -fresh, hot, and in style from head to toe!
