So summer''s nearly here! It''s that time of year when you can start thinking once more about putting away those bulky sweaters and trousers, and bringing out those floaty floral dresses. Yet summer, like every season, requires careful consideration when it comes to the challenge of looking good. This is especially true for those of us who are a little past those teenage years. With shorter lengths and brighter colours to contend with, summer may be less about getting those pale legs out and more about running for cover.

Yet looking good in the summer months doesn''t have to just be about showing a lot of flesh, and let''s face it, who is able to do that in our unpredictable climate? Instead, there are a few easy tips that any woman can follow to make sure that the bits that you do choose to bear are brilliant for when those moments of sunshine arrive.

First things first, make sure your skin is in tip top condition. The recent trend in pale celebrities such as Nicole Kidman and Renee Zellweger has proven to millions of women all over the world that you don''t have to be super-bronzed to be a goddess. It''s all ...
... about the condition of your skin, so take care to exfoliate, hydrate and moisturise your skin regularly to ensure a glowing complexion that will last all summer long.

As you get older you should especially ensure you protect your skin from damaging sun. The best not to give your age away is to way to use at least a factor 30 before exposure to sun. This will prevent premature aging and wrinkles and guarantee you more youthful looking skin.

Don''t forget to give your hair some loving care too! With age hair can look dull and dry, and the summer sun can do little to help this. Rehydrate hair with shampoo designed specifically for mature hair and get a style that is flattering for your age and easy to maintain.

Find the right swimsuit. Whilst it seems more and more daunting to expose yourself on the beach as you get older, you don''t have to opt for a bikini and there are many styles available to suit you. The most important thing to remember is to only purchase one that you feel comfortable in. If you are a little conscious about problem areas look for ones with built in tummy and breast support.

Finally, get a pedicure! Well kept feet are crucial to achieving that summer look, so get rid of dry hard skin and chapped heals with a thorough foot soak and scrub. Adding a couple of coats of glossy polish to those toes in this season''s hottest colours will complete the well-groomed look and ensure you''re ready for summer sandals.

Finally, look for lightweight cover-up options such as sarongs and scarves. These will mean you feel confident and comfortable when the moment arrives to put that summer dress on! Barton Loi loves fashion and follows New Look closely and always writes about new products such as bikinis.
