101 easy tips for a great summer!

Erase stains from your skin

If previous tans, the pill or pregancy have left stains on your body and face, it is better to erase them with lightening cream before new sunlight makes the problem even worse.

Buy SPF products

It's time to think about serious skin protection. Find out what your phototype is and buy plenty of products for you and your kids. Use higher SPF for the first days, and lower SPF for the following days. Protect your hair, too, with specific products.

Don't skip after-sun lotions! They are extremely important to restore your skin's condition after a day in the sun.

Try Neutrogena products for best resullts.

Do not be in the sunlight the days following a peel!

This is why you need to do it 20 days before your holiday begins.

Use every 7–10 days for a complete beauty program.

Waxing is the best way in order to get smooth legs for at least 15/20 days. Now it's time to think about it, so you won't have to shave every morning before hitting the beach: it would ittitate your skin! 3 days before is a good time, because your skin still has a couple of days to calm down.

Scrub your way to the perfect tan
