It’s undeniable that Italian women have one or two tricks up their sleeves when it comes to beauty – I know – my family is Italian and my beautiful Aunts taught me so much – here are the five things I always try to remember that I thought you’d benefit from as well.

Let’s get one things straight, Italian’s are expert tanners. So if anyone here as ever been to an Italian beach, you may have been lucky enough to witness our exceptional tanning gear. Equipped with sunscreen, water spray, tanning goggles, waterproof head rests and minimal clothing (as tan lies are sacrilege) – we honestly have no shame. What’s important to understand, however, is that for the most part we know how much time  in the sun is enough as well, and if you are going get sun exposure, be safe. The idea is to be luminous today and not a leather couch tomorrow.
