Summer beach holidays can fill a big girl with dread. I know when I moved to the coast it was a year before I braved the beach with a swimsuit. But I also realised that the beach is full of all shapes and sizes with no one sitting in judgement on how we look. However, we all want to look our best so her are my 5 tips for looking great on the beach.
1. Choose a good fitting swimsuit
There are lots of different styles of swimsuit to choose from. Flattering pattern look great and take the eye away from any areas you are trying to hide. Many suits now come with tummy control to help you appear slimmer. Choose a costume with support for the bust. Halter necks look fantastic on women with larger breasts and full coverage suits with a low back also give you a feminine look whilst providing support.
2. Tone up
A Big girl can still look toned. If you know you are going on a summer beach holiday then start doing some toning exercises on the stomach, arms, and thighs six months before you go.
3. Accessorise
Accessories will make a big girl feel great. Choose a pair of trendy shades, a sarong or cover up, and flip flops that match the outfit. A fashion beach bag will finish the look. Marks and Spencer [site: www.marksandspencer.com] has a fantastic Beachwear shop with a fantastic range of sarongs, cover ups and accessories.
4. Grooming
Painted nails and toes look fantastic on the beach. A tan disguises many faults so try and get a base tan before your beach holiday. However, don’t forget to keep safe in the sun and use appropriate sun protection at all times. Keep your skin moisturised too to avoid dry sin. And of course wax your legs, underarms and bikini area a few days before going to the beach (or shave the night before if you prefer). It is best to wear long hair up as it can get straggly with the sand and salt.
5. Have fun
Go to the beach and enjoy yourself. Don’t think everyone is looking at you because they are not. As soon as you stop feeling self conscious you will look great, what ever your size.
