Leave it one of those trendy nude getaway spots to tell us what works and what doesn't when you want to be more comfortable in your own, bare, uninhibited, decently-exposed-skin.
Of course, a lot of the ideas on this list are laughable... then again, so is the idea that these places are clothing "optional." It's more like "clothing will be given eyeball daggers of death and the person will be ostracized more
than the guy 'accidentally' bumping into you with his boner..."
Our friend Mary in sunny and desolate Palm Springs, California issued this Top 10 list as part of a press release for her Terra Cotta Inn, which is like the Playboy Mansion for old people who don't swing. Which, in fact, is an apt description of Hugh Hefner's lifestyle these days, but anyway...
10) If you worry about existing tan lines - use a self tanner to blend color into your tanned skin.
9) If you use Retin- A, wear a floppy hat while in the sun.
8) Don't wear heavy foundation or make up by the pool. Try a tinted moisturizer with at least a SPF 15 for a flattering glow.
7) Bikini wax at least one week in advance, so your newly exposed skin is not irritated by the sun.
6)
Stay at a resort like ours with a salt water pool and whirlpool tub.
This way your skin won't dry out and you don't have to worry about your
lightened or highlighted hair turning green from chlorine.
5)
Apply at least an SPF 15 sunscreen multiple times during the day. That
includes on the sides and underside of your breasts, underarms, etc.
You don't want to ruin your romantic vacation with a sunburn.
4) No need to diet before going. You don't have to worry how you look in a bikini or swimsuit, since your not wearing one.
3) Get a mani/pedi before going. Ask for a topcoat with UV filters to keep the color bright.
2)
Fashionistas who still need their fashion moment in the sun, can wear
slinky cover ups to match their sandals and hats or visors. If you like
bling, wear flirty ankle chains or toe rings. Jeweled hair clips can
complete your birthday suit ensemble.
1) Finally, to make the
best use of your romantic time together, leave the cell phone in the
room. Remember, you can't hide a blackberry in your bikini if your not
wearing one.
Hmmm... we're pretty sure "hide the blackberry in the bikini" is the name of a game the guests play in the room after dinner, but that's another post...
