I always find it difficult to pin down my 5 most favourite products for any season since I tend to hoard and try everything, but there are certain essentials I can't live without when it's this hot outside:

I’ve watched enough episodes of Oprah and America’s Next Top Model (did I just put the Big O and Tyra in the same category?) to know that taking care of your skin is important.

Why fry like an egg on the sidewalk (or at the beach, or by the pool, or in a tanning salon, or in your backyard nowhere near any water to justify that bikini you’re wearing) to get that perfect summer glow, when a dusting of bronzer gives you the same look.
