I’m a firm believer in the 'before you leave the house, take off one accessory' rule. Unfortunately, when it comes to beauty, a one-way ticket to tackyville isn't so easily averted. So my best advice to avoid going overboard is to think simple before applying anything to your face.

One of the best ways to prevent product overload is to invest in a good bronzer. Adding warmth to your complexion allows you to get away with wearing less. This summer, BeautyTicket.com makes it easier than ever to get the look of healthy, sun-kissed skin without the damaging effects of the sun.
