Whether you're a fan of their deep dark tans or not, from MTV's Jersey Shore to the Style Network's Jerseylicious, New Jersey definitely boasts a signature beauty look. Tracy DiMarco from Jerseylicious salon The Gatsby shares her tips on how to look good this summer, Garden State Style. Even if this look isn't for you, keep reading for the extra insight into Jersey (and please keep in mind that Beautylish doesn't advocate using SPF 4 because of the sun damage risk). Check out the new season of Jerseylicious on Sundays at 8pm (7 central) and 11pm (10 central) on Style Network.
HOW TO Jerseylicious Summer Beauty
-
Condition The sun makes your hair dry and dead. So while you're laying out, put in some leave-in conditioner or use a treatment in your hair to prevent damage.
-
A tan is a must have! But no tan is worth ruining your skin. Make sure you throw on sunscreen even if it's a low number sunscreen like 4! Just don't put baby oil on!
-
Get yourself a maxi dress It can come in handy as a cover up for your bathing suit or could be cute for dinner right from the beach/pool.
-
Summer is great for hats Either a big floppy hat to block the sun or a cute straw fedora to match your sundress.
-
Skip the color Makeup isn't necessary for the beach, but a bare face isn't right either. So put on some mascara on you top and bottom lashes. It will brighten up your eyes! You never know when you'll run into a cutie on the beach!

I like that the approach to be "safe" and apply at least a minimal amount of sunscreen, but I've noticed that even with a higher number, like 85(!), I still managed to get a tan, and that's suprising because im naturally tan. I don't think Ill ever ruin my skin just for a tan, especially since I am naturally tan,but if I wasnt I'd rather be white than die of skin cancer.
Also, #5 is a definite yes. Mascara is a must have whenever I don't have anything else on my face!
ive never said the word tan so many times in my life.

I love the whole tan look but i do not like the snookie tan. I think a bronze glow is enough.

Just to clear it up New Jersey does not have this "look" a VERY select group od disgusting people from NORTH Jersey have this look. I do not appreciate being lumped in with these meatballs. They are a joke.
