Bronze en Beauté

Photo:

A crisp line on flesh, a division of pale and bronzed. Once a sign of hard labor now gives way for summer leisure. Enriched by the sun, a tanned body- its darkened hues and saturated chroma make your skin satisfyingly tactile and delicious, to look at if not to touch.

One of the best ideas for a new summer look is to let the season change you itself, au natural of course. Depending on your complexion you may find your self ethnically ambiguous, or if you’re on the fairer side, drum up rural fantasies of a corn fed Adonis.

Colors will look better, you’ll radiate a natural beauty, team it with a refreshing haircut and you’ll find a bolder and quite possibly a sexier new you. Be sure not to overdo it for obvious health reasons but also the dreaded orange Day-Glo effect. A radioactive carotene color is neither provocative or desirable.
