do's and dont's for the summer

Obviously, there are no rules set in stone, but here are some general guidelines to make it through the season!

• Ditch the black eyeliner.  It’s summer for crying out loud. If you have to go dark, try a forest green instead.

• Do even-out your tan when you’re showing some leg.  There is nothing sexy about sun-kissed arms and ghostly legs.

• Never ever leave the house without sunscreen.  The most common mistake?  Forgetting your feet are exposed. Make sure every inch of you is covered!

• Chipped nail polish on your toes is about as attractive as chewed nails and split ends.  This is the season for your feet to shine! Don’t let them down.

• Mix up your fragrance.  Heavy, musky scents are not summer-friendly.

• Don’t forget to moisturize.  Lying in the sun for extended periods of time and swimming in the ocean cause skin to dry out..

• Change your facial moisturizer; GLOSS girls know that the key times to change moisturizers are in the summer and wintertime.  It is most common for your skin to produce more oil in the summer — adjust accordingly.

• Don’t forget your brows!  A lightly tinted brow gel will not only keep your brows in shape, it’ll add some color to them, preventing the “Where did your eyebrows go?” inquisition.
