How to Achieve Glowing Summer Skin

The first step to having polished skin is to start with a good skin care regiment otherwise, once you apply products on top of skin that is dry or dehydrated it will not have the same effect. Once you have smooth skin, here are some ways to help it glow throughout the summer without having to get in the sun. The first thing you do is always apply sunscreen.
Sometimes I’ll mix "Bare Bronze Shimmering Body Oil" by Victoria’s Secret with my sunscreen. This is beautiful bronzed glimmering golden oil with a sweet tropical fragrance. It definitely gives the body a luminous glow without causing the skin to feel oily. I like this applied on arms, legs, and chest. Victoria’s Secret also carries a product in their Bare Bronze line called "Daily Glow Facial moisturizer. This comes in a light/medium or a medium/dark color. The product is also nice for the body too. A little goes a long way. Mix it with some sunscreen or a little body lotion and apply to any areas you may want to highlight.
For those low cut dresses, Bare Escentuals has "Body Glimmer" that can be brushed on with a large sized puff or kabuki brush. This is an extremely shimmery bronze rose, but it can be applied with a light hand. I always have people asking me "what is that awesome shimmer and where can I get it?"(bareescentuals.com or hsn.com).
Benefit "Flamingo Fancy" is another favorite shimmering body slip. It’s a dark bronze golden coral hue that has a delicate scent of floral plumeria mixed with something tropical. I love, love, love, this one (sephora.com).
Jergens has a variety of body glow moisturizers to choose from like their "Firming Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer". This comes in a variety of colors for different skintones and gradually builds color each time you apply it. Jergens carries the Natural Glow Facial Moisturizer with an spf 20. It provides a healthy glow and also protects against the sun’s harmful rays. For a quick boost of color when you need it extra fast, try Jergen’s "Natural Glow Express Body Moisturizer".
If you like to self-tan and glow at the same time, Loreal has "Sublime Glow" made for different skin tones. This is a moisturizing microfine mist that gradually develops into a tan. There’s no need to rub in because the bottle is made for 360 degree application. This way you can get your back too. I really like this because it doesn’t leave streaks like some self tanners tend to do.
