Lazy girls, listen up! With easy hair products and beauty tricks, you'll be looking good all season-long with minimal effort (woo hoo!).

1. Wear A Hat: Be stylish and smart by popping on a floppy topper before heading out to your cabana. The style feels old-school glam, but has the added nicety of covering up your ears and hairline should you forget to reapply sunscreen as often as you should.

2. Shower Before Swimming Even if your backyard water is calling your name (loudly), wait a sec before diving in. Step into the outdoor shower that's a fixture at most pools and get your mane wet. Thirsty, dry hair strands will soak up fresh water before being touched by chemical-filled, chlorinated liquid. Makes sense, right?

3.Use a Primer: The silky formula feels lightweight on and only adds seconds to your routine. It gives your foundation, bronzer, and blush something to hold on to, making it stay longer. You get to reapply less frequently.

4.Shave Smartly: If you're anything like us,

When it comes to looking chic, these caftans, wraps, and sarongs will give your swimsuit a run for its money-and they'll cost a whole lot less of it.

Unlocking the secrets to how to have better sex is just as easy as asking the right questions. So, we turned to Dr. Lissa Rankin, author of What's Up Down There? Questions You'd Only Ask Your Gynecologist if She Was Your Best Friend to set us straight.

1. Embrace Pillow Talk: "It's hard enough to talk about sex when you're in the middle of making love. Instead, discuss positions you'd like to try, things you like, things you don't like, while you're in a relaxed setting to take any judgment out of the conversation."

2. Work for Your Orgasm: "The women who are able to orgasm from sex, alone, have learned how to put just the right amount of pressure on the clitoris. It's completely normal to need added stimulation from oral sex, masturbation, or sex toys to fully orgasm."

3. He Can't Always Get It Up: "After ejaculation, most men experience a period of time where they're psychically incapable of achieving an erection, no matter how much they're stimulated."

4. It Will

But opt not for the retro pin-up style trend, instead he suggests going for cut-out one piece to show off a sexy side. But don't forget to load up on sunscreen and stay in the shade to prevent crazy tan lines!

Lighten up the accessories: Aim to keep accessories

Healthy, glowing skin is usually beauty priority number one for women, so we've rounded up the most surprising bad skin habits you need to kick to the curb.

1. Chlorine Criminal: Your post-pool regime is vital when it comes to your skin. Even after a shower, chlorine can cling to skin reacting with topical medications, cleansers, even lotions. To effectively remove chlorine, always use an extra sudsy soap or body wash after you take a dip.

2.Makeup Mayhem: Falling asleep with your makeup on can lead to bacteria infections, clogged pores which can cause acne (hello, morning pimple!), and residue that can stay on your pillow and cause you to get sick. Keep makeup removing wipes next to your bed so you'll never make this beauty mistake again.

3.Coffee and Your Mug: Caffeine is a major culprit when it comes to dry skin. Avoid the magnification of wrinkles and instead, quench skin by drinking lots of H2O. To make sipping on water more enticing, add fruit slices like orange or lemon to
