To recreate the look of glowing, summery skin sans the sun damage, opt for a peach blush swept across the bridge of the nose. Creamy formulations work best for this type of application.

TWISTED SUMMER

A simple slick braid is a great way to stay fuss-free in the summer. Proceed with caution, though, and braid hair before getting it wet—not after. Locks are at their most vulnerable state when wet.

BARE BEAUTIFUL

Contrast works especially well for morenas. Stark whites or any bright color will surely make your golden skin stand out.

Embrace your natural texture while avoiding frizz by using a deep conditioning and overnight hair mask. It might seem awkward to sleep in, but the result after rinsing in the morning will be well worth it.
