Today is the last day of summer and for some of us, it’s a blessing, but there’re still a few beach-bums who can’t seem to part with the season. It’s hazy warmth and those summer Friday’s are hard to say farewell to. Though, while the temperatures are dropping incrementally, we can still drag out the last of summers sizzle with cosmetics and skincare for that coveted kiss of the sun.
If there’s one thing synonymous with summer, it’s the sun-drenched glow of baking at the beach. We’ve got the must-have, celebrity-praised self tanner, best highlighter, and gold infused masks, to keep that glow illuminated well into October.
At Sunday’s Emmy’s, Olivia Culpo glided across the red carpet in Tom Ford. . . and Fake Bake: a paraben-free self tanner. Retailing for $31, this self tanner smells like the tropics and subsequently, will have you looking like you spent the week there. Equipped with a glove for a smooth application, and you won’t stain your hands in the process.
The next glow enhancer is a season-less staple. It’s the most illuminating highlighter, with an intense pigmentation. Your cheekbones will thank you, trust us. With a gold, sheen finish, you’ll look like your glow is outpouring from within.

Or, you can try a different skincare routine for a more natural result. Try Peter Thomas Roth’s 24K Gold Mask ($80). Infused with pure 24k gold and colloidal gold, this mask works as an anti-aging agent while it firms and tightens the skin. Once you wash it off, the gold extracts will have left a radiant and opulent glow to your skin. Plus, it’s such an innovative way to truly wear your gold.
To enhance your glow overall – make sure you routinely exfoliate your face and body. Dull skin could hinder your potential to be luminous, naturally.
