We are in the season of very little clothing, and what goes best with so much exposed skin? Gorgeous, glowing skin. It looks right at home on the beach, in the country, or, slightly less glamorously, waiting on a scorching subway platform. And we’re coming off the heels of Resort 2016, where gleaming gams were front and center at Dior and Giamba (they can be a girl’s best accessory, it seems), in case you need some inspiration. Luckily, shelves are stocked with lotions and potions that put skin in the spotlight. Here are our picks for getting a glow from head to toe.
