Summer’s practically here, but some of us will still be wearing our winter pants. From cellulite to arm hair, we’re uneasy about exposing our so-called “imperfect” areas. “The reality is that no one is perfect,” says beauty expert Dee Rivera. Many blemishes can be easily camouflaged, so make it a carefree summer with these beauty fixes:
1. Hide spider veins and age spots with a lightweight leg makeup that sprays on. Look for a waterproof formula.
2. To soften rough skin, look for a natural mineral-based exfoliating soap that can be used to smooth out feet and other callous areas.
3. To hide winter weight, try an oversized cotton shirt. “It goes great with skinny jeans, leggings or rugged jean shorts for a more sporty look,” says Rivera. Add a couple of cool necklaces for polish.
