So, you've bought this season's trendiest wedges and billowy dress. But don't stop at your wardrobe; be sure to update your beauty routine to match summer's scorching temperatures. Here are a few tips that will make it easy to look your best during the dog days of summer.
• Don't Be Dull-Exfoliate your body (excluding face) using a scrub and exfoliating gloves in the shower. Rub in a circular motion with more pressure on rougher areas. Apply a self-tanner afterward for a safe, summer glow and to help even out tan lines.
• Beachy Keen-Use Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray to achieve a sexy, tousled, straight-from-the-beach look, regardless of the season. It's high on style and low on maintenance.
• Pair It With A Smile-The best accessory for summer? A stunning set of pearly whites. Remove stains for naturally whiter teeth in 14 days with Ultreo, the ultrasound toothbrush. Ultreo can remove 95 percent of hard-to-reach plaque in the first minute of brushing. (Ultreo.com, $149)
• Pucker Up-Lips can get dry and cracked in the heat. Make sure to keep them moisturized with a lip balm containing SPF. Use a lip plumper such as DuWop Lip Venom (Sephora.com, $16) for instant pout and top off with this season's hottest color, raspberry. An added bonus? The blue tones in the lip color make teeth appear even whiter.
• Buff It Out-Natural nails look chic in hot weather. File short and use a buffer to make them shine. Polish with a nude shade or clear gloss.
