Knees-to-toe beauty
Summer can be a dangerous season because the sun does more than brighten your day, bloom your flowers and make you want to strip down to shorts and sandals; the sun also ages you. Everyone says hands and necks are what gives away age, but so do bare skin and legs exposed in summer fashions.
Here are seven products to enlist to help you glow, from knees to toes:
1. Manicure/Pedicure by OPI Espresso Scrub ($15) is formulated with natural sugar crystals and caffeine to reduce calluses and smooth summer skin.
2. Cut your natural tanning time in half and using Jergens Natural Glow Express Body Moisturizer ($8). It moisturizes your skin and gives you a full shade of natural color in just three days.

3. Love sandals but not your feet? With its combination of aloe and tea tree oil, the roller-ball pen Borghese Satina Smoothing Callus Remover ($15) allows easy application and exfoliates gently to remove calluses and revive sore feet.
4. You love the new nail polish colors, but don’t want to try them for fear of looking like a teenager? Take a look at Essie Nail Polish in Bermuda Shorts ($8), which pops with a blast of fuchsia that’s not girlie or cute.
5. All those sandals and walking can take a toll on your feet. A Path Less Ordinary Foot Herbal Salt Bath by Panpuri ($27) deodorizes and soothes your feet with tea tree, lemongrass and basil.
6. Chanel Nail Colour in Blue Satin ($19) is like fresh, inky glamour on your fingertips. The color is classic and ladylike and helps you keep your attitude on even the sunniest of days.
7. If you’re feeling daring, there is Tracy Reese for Sally Hansen Nail Lacquer in Arabian Night ($19). The gorgeous lavender shimmer is bold and exciting for the summer, but not goth and scary.
