How do you get a bikini body? Easy—put a bikini on your body! With the last few days of sunshine in the forecast over the coming weeks, who doesn’t want to be poolside or lounging by the lake in your favourite swimwear? So we’ve compiled some tips to keep you and your swimsuit looking the very best.
RINSE
A quick rinse when you take your swimsuit off will not only remove harsh pool chemicals like chlorine, or salt from the ocean but will also get rid of any sunscreen or tanning oils you have applied that can cause your bright bold prints to fade faster. Pssst…these swimsuits are from Boathouse and Swimco!
HAND WASH
Avoid the temptation to throw your bathing suit in the washing machine. Even a delicate cycle is too harsh for your cute suit and laundry detergent is a no-go. Wash your stuff by hand in the sink with mild hand soap or invest in a swimwear wash to keep your pieces clean, bright, and fitting right. And we mentioned a good rinse, right? Try something like this swimwear cleaner from Swimco.
ROTATE
You heard us! One of the best ways to keep your suits looking their best is to have a collection you can rotate through. Swimwear is commonly made from spandex and needs time to return to its original shape after wear. If you’re heading out for a weekend on the water, change suits daily to keep them all in tip-top shape—and to show off more of your wardrobe. Be sure to check out Swimco, H&M, and Boathouse to add to your collection!
ACCESSORIZE
Don’t forget a cute coverup! Coverups are a light, quick, and easy way to help protect yourself from the sun, but remember—they do not replace sunblock. Complete your ensemble with chic shades from Aldo or Sunglass Hut to protect your eyes and a cute tote for your essentials.
Take care of your body, and your bikini, and get ready to make a splash.
