A Natural Foundation – Giving your skin-tone a healthy bronze boost can make all the difference in achieving fresh summer style. Hollywood Tans’ Instant Tan powered by Mystic only takes about 90 seconds and will give a rich, deep tan in four to six hours, lasting between five to seven days.

Bold Neon Totes – Nothing looks better with a tan than a bold citrus neon or shocking pink and this summer, bright colors are in fashion. Dare to go from the beach to dinner with a funky, colorful tote which will look sizzling with a simple white t-shirt and jeans.

Show it off – High-waisted mini bubble skirts are a summer must so don’t be shy about flaunting your gorgeous tan. Throw on a cotton tank and a pair of dangerously high heels or a gladiator sandal and you’re good to go.

Shapely Cut-Outs – This summer, a cut-out bathing suit is crucial for the beach. Show off your tan and just the right amount of skin with a flirty one-piece cut-out. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different prints and colors to find the one best ‘suit-ed’ for you.

High Gloss Finish – Top off your look with sheer or tinted lip gloss to get that polished summer look you’ve dreamed about all winter long. For the perfect pout, keep lips hydrated by applying lip gloss over a lip balm with sunscreen.
