When it comes to summer beauty, less is more, and, really, why argue with that? For makeup, it all starts with clean skin and a light touch. Ditto for hair. Prep locks with a shine-enhancing shampoo and conditioner, and if you can, let your hair air-dry. Work in a lightweight styling cream to enhance its natural texture and reduce frizz. Now all you need is an ocean breeze!
