"Whether you&amp;#x27;re jetting off for some spring break sunshine or just starting the countdown clock for your bikini bod, beach season is fast approaching. So we turned to blonde bombshell Candice Swanpoel--who graces the cover of the newest Victoria&amp;#x27;s Secret swim catalog--to share her top tips to look ready for surf and sand. Sign up for Glamour.com&amp;amp;#8217;s Style Tips of the Week and Beauty Tip of the Day newsletters! Tip #1: &amp;quot;First and most important is find a great bikini!&amp;quot; Candice says. &amp;quot;One that suits your body type - Victoria&amp;#x27;s Secret has so many different styles, patterns, and colors to choose from and you can mix and match most of them...so there is no excuse for not being able to find a great bikini! I have to admit, I went a bit overboard shopping on victoriassecret.com for bathing suits this year.&amp;quot; We&amp;#x27;ve been big fans of the mixing and matching thing around here for a while, too--there&amp;#x27;s no better way to maximize your beach wardrobe!--but Candice makes us want to try it all over again with this super-cute video: Tip #2: &amp;quot;A tan...either fake or real!&amp;quot; Candice says. &amp;quot;I feel sexiest when I&amp;#x27;m tan.&amp;quot; Us too--although we&amp;#x27;re partial to the bottled bronze around here. Check out how Petra perfected the art of the faux glow here! Tip #3: &amp;quot;Find a shampoo and conditioner that keep your hair hydrated. I always have a leave-in conditioner with me on the beach because its important to protect your hair. Most of all, just be natural and enjoy yourself! Happiness and that inner glow are always beautiful.&amp;quot; We couldn&amp;#x27;t agree more, Candice! What do you dolls think of her beach-beautiful tips?
