Summer is just around the corner, and it’s time to show off a little skin— preferably not of the pale and pasty variety.

While we don’t endorse fake ‘n’ bake, faux-ing a sunny glow is a different story. Take, for example, the beauty team behind Erdem’s S/S 2012 show, who gave the models a slight tan using St. Tropez products to compliment the dreamy, floral sojourn collection. The Bronzing Mousse ($49.50) is lightweight, allowing one to start with a subtle tan and layer if needed. —Anya Georgijevic
