As temperatures rise, the season's summer beauty trends follow suit by becoming hotter. Hair is undeniably wild, skin is tanned (spray-tanned, that is) and make-up is minimal.

Summer is just around the corner, ladies. It's time to get fit, squeeze back into those itsy-bitsy short shorts, fake the bake and get your bikini bod back.
To kick-start your summer glow we've found a cocktail of beauty buys to help you ditch the high glamour of winter and start getting that unfussy beach-babe look. When it comes to beach-chic beauty, there's no need to pack on the make-up trying to achieve a flawless complexion.

Forget the foundation and eyeliners and shadows — a sun-kissed glowing skin with a touch of bronzer and flash of waterproof mascara is all you need.
KMS Sea Salt Spray, $36.95
Loved by just about every hair maestro who's ever used it, this is one of the best products to get that messy textured hairstyle we long to create every summer. Tousled, sexy locks are perfect to wear anywhere this summer.
ModelCo Sun Sponge Tan, $49.00
Hailing from the creators of tan-in-a-can is this easy-to-use sun sponge from tanning experts ModelCo. Taking at-home fake tanning to the top of the innovators' list, this new self-tanner is a streak-free way to bronzed skin. Plus, unlike other fake bakers it comes without that horrible smell.
Biotherm Aquathermale Spa Body Scrub, $39.00
Removing dead skin cells and impurities from your skin will assist the skin's own natural rejuvenating process. While many of us regularly exfoliate our face, we sometimes forget about the rest of our body. Try Biotherm's lush body exfoliant — it's a quick fuss-free exfoliant.
Estée Lauder Pure Colour gloss
Golden girls always look best with a glossy lip. We love this multi-shimmer gloss by Estée Lauder. Its gorgeous blend of pink and nude hues creates a gorgeous three-in-one shimmer effect on the lips. It's perfect for glossy kissable lips.
Vaseline Aloe Fresh
Keep your skin well-hydrated, nourished and protected from dryness with this non-greasy moisturiser from Vaseline. Packed with ingredients, including aloe, cucumber and vitamin E, it leaves the skin feeling cool and refreshed.
Sunscreens
Sunscreens are the leader of the beach pack. Protect your skin from burning and premature ageing with Nivea's SPF 30+ sun spray.
Kit SPF 30+ face sunscreen
Rudolf is the only one who can pull-off a red nose. Protect your face with this non-greasy, fragrance-free face sunscreen from beauty brand Kit Cosmetics.
Define-a-Lash Waterproof Lengthening Mascara, $12.99
Darken up your look by adding a touch of mascara to your lashes. This no-clump, waterproof-solution from Maybelline lengthens the lashes and creates bat-worthy lashes minus the panda-eyes at the beach.
Elizabeth Arden Pure Finish Mineral Bronzing Powder
If you only have one beauty compact this summer, this should be it. Create a sun-kissed luminous glow by dusting over cheekbones and forehead.
