11 tips to help you get the perfect summer glow

4. USE A WASH-OFF BRONZING LOTION Not into self-tanner but want a quick fix? Tinted gels, sprays and creams that last one day or night can provide a beachy glow, too. Sweat- and

transfer-resistant hybrids like Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Body Sauce Body Luminizing Tint ($48, sephora.com), Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs Body Makeup Spray ($11, target.com) and Bondi Sands Glo

Shimmer One Day Tan Cream ($14, target.com) bridge the gap between makeup and moisturizer and are a great alternative. You can use your hands, a makeup sponge or a Kabuki makeup brush to

blend on. Instant glows are amazing to even out skin tones, like if you have only some sunny color waist up — especially if you wear pants or jeans most days — and then decide to go

bare-legged in a dress. All wash off in the shower with soap and water. (Left to right) Makeup Revolution Radiance Shimmer Oil in Gold; L'Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion Natural

Radiance Shimmer Oil in Gold, Bronze, Pink or Warm Bronze ($17, ulta.com) immediately hydrates dry or dull skin fast and leaves bare areas looking like polished marble. Just apply sparingly

to your legs, shoulders, arms and collarbones, where skin is relatively firm. It's great on bare, untanned skin over self-tanner to enhance the glow. Try a liquid illuminator for the

face, like Revlon SkinLights Face Glow Illuminator in Sunburst Bronze or Sunrise Luster ($12, ulta.com) or L'Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion Natural Glow Enhancer in fair, light,

medium or deep tints ($15, ulta.com). These work as a primer, highlighter or bronzer, or you can mix with your favorite foundation or tinted moisturizer to kick up the radiance. (Left to

TRY A GLOWY SUNSCREEN Fake tan fan or not, we all still need the protection of a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen. Try one with a shimmery finish, like Coppertone Glow With Shimmer

Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 ($9, target.com), StriVectin Full Screen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Illuminating ($36, macys.com) or Supergoop Glowscreen Sunscreen SPF 40+ ($36, sephora.com) to add a

lustrous look while shielding your skin from harmful UVA/UVB rays. FYI: The latter makes a perfect primer when used under makeup, as a greaseless sunscreen touch-up right over makeup during

the day, or to give the tops of your hands, décolletage and neck a dewy glow. (Left to right) Huda Beauty GloWish Soft Radiance Bronzing Powder; Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Bronzer;

its ability to make us look healthy. At 50, look for a cream like the Saie Sun Melt Natural Cream Bronzer in light, medium, deep and dark tints ($28, sephora.com) or a moisturizing powder

like the Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Bronzer ($11, ulta.com) and Huda Beauty GloWish Soft Radiance Bronzing Powder ($31, sephora.com) in a shade no more than one step up from your

actual skin tone. Blend and buff the bronzer on spots the sun hits — tops of cheekbones, temples, the bridge of the nose and forehead — by using a large, full-bristled brush. Add some down

the sides of the neck, too, to avoid a break. Without adding more color, keep buffing to soften the color and any edges. Bronzer looks best without a lot of other makeup, so don't

overdo it.
