Since the sun is especially strong in the summer months, remember to always wear sun protection. Shield your face and neck with a hypoallergenic SPF. I’ve been a fan of Clinique City Block for years.

To get that all over, perfect, been–on-vacation-for-weeks glow, use St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse. It’s easy to apply and long lasting. Be sure to prep the skin first; exfoliate well and moisturize around knees, ankles and elbows.I love the look of a bare face in the summer.

Let your skin glow with Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint. This oil-free, lightweight coverage foundation evens out imperfections and fades the appearance of fine lines.

Apply Armani Sheer Bronzer on your cheekbones, temples and bridge of your nose for the look of healthy sun kissed skin. It’s a sheer powder with honey highlights – looks beautiful on all skin tones.

A swipe of Lancome Hypnose Doll Lashes Mascara and a dab of Armani Flash Lacquer Lip Gloss and you’re ready for fun in the sun!
