Topanga Waves Body Scrub

If you want to maintain that brown tint on your legs and the rest of your body, it’s wise to scrub well every now and then. Many people think that they lose their tan because of scrubbing, but it’s especially important to do this before you go sunbathing. It removes dead skin cells and the tan you get from the sun penetrates deeper into your skin. And what could be better than a scrub with a tropical scent with a hint of coconut and pineapple?

Makeup-wise, you don’t want to apply too much on your skin in warm weather, and hopefully, you already have a nice color on your face from the sun so you can leave your foundation aside for now. But to boost that lovely flush, you can use this bronzing powder for a sunny glow.

Burt’s Bees – Beeswax Stick

This is a personal favorite. I never leave the house without something for my lips, because if there’s one thing I intensely dislike, it’s dry lips. This one is made from a combination of coconut and sunflower oils and nourishes and softens your lips. What can also be beneficial is to look for lip care with SPF, because they can burn too.
