After a long, cold winter, that most wonderful time of the year is finally upon us: bathing suit season. Are you bikini-ready? Here are three things you can start doing right now to get yourself in the right frame of mind and ready to strut yourself on the sand or poolside.
Exfoliate
The number one thing you can do to make your skin look its best is to exfoliate and reveal healthy, glowing skin. For some truly gorgeous results, try the Salt or Sugar Glo treatments at Burke Williams. These treatments use the natural exfoliating abilities of salt and sugar to remove dead cells from the surface of your skin, leaving it incredibly soft and smooth. To maintain your skin's new glow, be sure to pick up our H2V Buff face and body scrub. Its microdermabrasion crystal technology helps you achieve spa-grade results at home.
Don’t Shave – Wax
Shaving isn’t fun – it's a hassle, and often a painful one. So perhaps it’s time to finally say goodbye to nicked ankles and unsightly razor burn. Waxing removes hair at the root, and it will keep your skin hair-free for two to three weeks. The skilled professionals at Burke Williams will remove unsightly hair anywhere on your body with as little pain as possible. Make sure to schedule your treatment no fewer than two to three days before you plan on donning your swimsuit because your skin may be sensitive at first, especially if you're new to waxing.
Wear the Right Swimsuit
Your skin may look great after these two primping services, but if you're wearing an unflattering swimsuit, that's what people are going to notice. So start shopping now for the suit that is most flattering to your figure. You’ll have the right amount of time to find a suit that you adore and that's also perfect for your body shape. If you're busty, go for a more structured suit to prevent embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions [insert Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl]. If you're petite, try a retro style. It's super on-trend and the high waist will draw the eyes upward making you appear taller. If you're self-conscious about your lower half, try wearing a bottom that's solid and a top that's printed. That way, you'll draw attention away from your problem area.
With this little checklist in hand, you're sure to turn heads at the pool this summer. What are your summer beauty rituals? Our readers would love to know, so share your secrets in the comment section below!
