The
White Girls Guide to Summer Bodies
|
by Livia Mercer
When was the last time you had your bikinis on? I challenge
you to take your clothes off and take a good long look at
yourself in the mirror. How do you feel? Ready to get going
or thinking about hiding out at home in arctic air-conditioning
through summer? While some of us are blessed with perfect
blemish-free, wrinkle-free and jiggle-free skin, the reality
is, nobody is absolutely perfect.
So, we all need products to help us out. Thankfully there
are lots of fantastic products out on the market. Here's a
rundown of quality cosmetics, lotions and potions to get your
skin and body in tip-top shape for that upcoming pool party
or trip to the beach. The first thing you will want to do
is get rid of your crocodile skin.
After being wrapped up in clothing for so long most of us
can do with a good body scrub. Try Glamourflage, Sexy Sadie
Body Scrub or Linden Leaves, Flax Seed Body Polish. This will
get rid of your dry skin cells and leave your skin glowing.
Most of us have indulged in too much sun at one point in our
lives. While we'd like to consider it a lesson well learned,
we may have some sun damage on our décolleté to remind us
of our past sun-worshiping sins. Use Clarins, Bust Beauty
Gel.
This helps prevent skin slackening with effective, visible
results. Its skin-tightening action helps immediately improve
the appearance of the bust area. Of course don't forget the
sunscreen on this delicate area of your body. Nothing works
better than prevention. The French have such polite names
for body parts. Whip your derriere in shape with Nivea, Body
Good-bye Cellulite or Shiseido, Body Creator Aromatic Sculpting
Gel.
The powerful agents in this firming gel smooth and actively
slim the skin, leaving your delicate derriere smoother and
sensually contoured. Make your skin irresistible to touch
with Dermalogica Ultrarich Body Cream.An ultra-rich, long-lasting
body cream to help heal and relieve extra dry skin. This unique
liquefying formula is also ideal for all-over, deeply-moisturizing
body massages.
Not to be overlooked, your hair should receive just as much
attention as your skin. Time in the pool or the beach takes
its toll on your locks so replace lost moisture with Garnier
Fructis Style Nutri-Oil Repair Intense Leave-in Smoothing
Cream. Keep your skin looking flawless this summer without
having to worry about your makeup melting off your face.
Try ModelCo, Fluidsplash 3-in-1 foundation or Amazing Base,the
all-in-one foundation, powder, concealer and sunscreen by
Jane Iredale, which provides great coverage and staying power
and actually helps improve the skin with titanium dioxide
and zinc oxide, which act as anti-inflammatories. And of course
you can't forget the sunscreen. Try Estee Lauder Sun Performance
Sun Lotion for Face SPF30, or Sun Sense Daily Face SPF30+.
Now add just a squirt of your favourite fragrance and you
are ready to knock them dead at upcoming outing to the pool
or beach.
Enjoy summer!
