If you’ve ever wondered how models get their perfect beach-wave hair, or wanted to get the best tan you can, you can find answers here. These are 5 pro-tips and beauty products you should add to your summer beauty routines.

 

NUMBER ONE: Coffee scrubs

Looking for that glorious, glowy, sun kissed tan? The secret to getting it: coffee scrubs. According to cosmetic professionals and dermatologists, the way to get the best tan without damaging your skin is to exfoliate your body no longer than 30 minutes before tanning, and lathering up in SPF 30 sunscreen. The exfoliation allows you to clean off the dirty skin on the surface of your body and allow the fresher, more glowy skin beneath it to be exposed to the UV rays, really instilling the tan into your new glowy skin. But, it is super important that you put on sunscreen before relaxing into the sunshine because it is much easier to really burn and damage your skin after exfoliating if you don’t protect it with a layer of SPF.

NUMBER TWO: Hair sunscreen

Yes, you read that right. There is sunscreen for your hair, and it works miracles. Hair sunscreen is, according to stylists interviewed by Refinery29, the secret to keeping many models’ hair strong and healthy when doing photo shoots on hot summer days. It helps protect your ends from drying out and becoming brittle due to a combination of UV energy and salt or chlorine (which also strips small amounts of chlorophyll from your hair). It is a very popular product on almost every set where models, actors, and actrices are outside or in the water.
