How to dress chic and fashionably for summer while protecting your skin...
For the fashion conscious out there, here is a short guide on how to dress chic and fashionably for the summer while protecting your skin from the harsh rays of the sun.
With the sunshine comes the connotation, tanned people are more attractive and as a result many women see pale skin as unattractive. Put away your solar panels girls because this is a real misconception! Some of today’s leading beauties embrace their natural skin tone and stay out of the sun. Liv Tyler, Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman are but to name a few.
Did you know that one of the main reasons for premature aging of the skin is caused by over exposure to the sun? This can lead to age spots, fine lines and wrinkles, thread veins and pigmentation.
Let’s embrace our natural beauty, and cover up (well just a little!)
Wide –brimmed sun hats are a perfect mix for skin saving shade and retro beach chic. Never underestimate the power statement that accessories make… sexy, cool and summer chic work well on the beach!
Big over-sized sunglasses always come highly recommended, not only are they THE fashion accessory for the summer as the instantly transform your look but they give you great coverage! Warning – they do not work indoors!
