With the opening of China's economy, women are also becoming more open
about showing their bodies, and they can do it with bikinis in the summer.

?

This swimwear is becoming popular among Chinese girls. But before wearing
a bikini, there are a few things women need to know before donning a
bikini.

?

Many women will try to lose weight before wearing a bikini. Yet fashion
experts say that in order to look attractive in a bikini, the following
eight things are more important than weight.

?

Tip 1: The color of your skin means much more than the color of the
bikini you wear.

?

According to a survey conducted by an international fashion magazine,
tanned looking skin is more attractive to men than perfect body curves on
beaches. So when going to the beach, apply foundation darker than the one
you use in office.

?

Or you can apply self-tanning products which are water-proof and can give
the appearance of darker the skin. The 鈥渢an鈥� will fade in three to
seven days. Sisley鈥檚 herbal sun tanning jelly (77g, 590 yuan) and
Biotherm magic sun tanning body spray (150ml, 300 yuan) are both good
choices.

?

And for a glittering touch, add shimmering powder to your collarbone,
shoulders and cleavage to make you look sexier.

?

Tip 2: Pay attention to little corners of your body.

?

Women don鈥檛 pay enough attention to their backs, elbows and knees when
in the office, but you need to make up for it before setting out for a
beach.

?

Before you go, have a hot bath. It will help soften the hard skin on your
back. If you can have someone scrub your back, it works even better.

?

For knees and elbows, apply a polishing cream with big grains in it to
exfoliate the dead skin. Biotherm Body Polishing Scrub (20ml, 30 yuan)
works rather well.

?

Bruises can also diminish the looks of a charming lady. The way to get
rid of them is to use a tube of yellowish correcting cream, apply it to
the bruised area, and then cover it with some dark foundation powder.
