Touch Up: Spring 2010

As the temperatures rise, and as everyone trades in heavy coats and winter clothing for something that's a bit more comfortable, we'd like to update you with some tips on some questions that you might have before you worship the sun:
 
What's a good way to remove hair from your bikini line?
 
The best way is to go get it professionally waxed since it's simply a lot easier to get someone to do it for you. I wouldn't try to use wax myself, because once you get started, you might have a hard time trying to get it all removed. You wouldn't want to burn your nether regions.
 
Since summer is coming, your skin pores might become clogged due to the combined humidity and certain types of makeup. What's a good way to look great, and be protected from potential breakouts of acne?
 
You need to have a good skin care routine, so that involves cleansing your skin, toning and moisturizing. In the summer, you'd want to use a lightweight moisturizer, something that's not too heavy where it's going to clog up your pores.
 
In terms of makeup, if you do have problem skin you're better off going with an oil-free concealer or foundation and just use it where you need to because in the summer, you're going to become hot and sweaty. You'd wouldn't want to end up with too much of a caked on face once the weather warms up.
 
What is an attractive piece of clothing that shows off your figure without giving the wrong impressions?
 
The gist of looking attractive is leaving something for the imagination, you don't want to reveal too much. If you're going to choose to wear something (a top) that's low cut, don't wear a miniskirt along with it. Pick one.
 
If you're going to show off your cleavage, my suggestion is to wear a longer skirt. If you're going to show off your legs, don't wear something with a plunging neckline.
 
If you start revealing too much, you start giving people the wrong impression, and that's not very attractive and not as sexy.
 
People will be wearing shells and other sorts of jewellery made for the beach, so how much is too much?
 
You wouldn't want to overdo the theme in regards to accessories. You should match your outfit, so a chunky sort of necklace could accompany a simple look, and something simple could compliment a more elaborate look. Seashells are nice though.
