Secrets to Sexy Summer Skin – part 1

If the the sun warms you but revealing a lot of skin sends chills down your spine, I’ve got a few hip tips to comfort you this summer.

Skin that radiates health always looks sexy so here’s a simple system that’ll get you ready to glow!

1.  Prep:
Glowing body skin starts with exfoliation.  Slough off those winter scales and start anew by using a body scrub two to four days a week.  Try Four Truffles Earth Apple Body Smoother or one from the “10 Best Body Scrubs” list on the “A Women’s Talk” beauty blog.

Another step in your prep work is to avoid the stuff that makes you puff. Care for your body inside and out by limiting your caffeine, alcohol, salt and dairy intake at least 1 day before and on the actual day you plan to show major skin.  Nourish your body and build your confidence with water, green tea (instead of your latte), fruit, and veggies.

2.  Primp:
Tan fat always looks better than white fat so I highly recommend using a self tanner the night before you plan the big reveal.  I am a major fan of Neutrogena’s MicroMist Sunless Tanning Spray for a mistake-free, mess-free, natural-looking tan. This product is so easy you can even spray fake abs, pecs and quads like a pro!

To fake a taut tummy in your two-piece, apply self-tanner to the vertical contours on either side of your belly button.  You can also use a matte waterproof bronzer to whittle your middle if spray tanning freaks you out.

For legs to long for, layer a few sprays of self-tanner or that matte waterproof bronzer under your calf muscles and along the length of your quadricep indents on the inside and outside of each thigh.  I’ve even read that Dancing With the Stars pros spray along the crescent below each butt cheek but I’m weary of highlighting the peaks and valleys on my moon so don’t say I didn’t warn you!

To balance the body, I also recommend highlighting the clavicle, shoulders and décolletage to reinforce people to look upwards and to promote envy with your bangin’ body from head to toe.
Stay tuned for the last two steps, Plump and Posture, in Part 2 tomorrow….
