To give women a head-start on making skin their ultimate fashion statement, Fanny Lu and Leonardo share a few of their must-have tips for the season:

-- The Look: Even Toned - Get ready to show some skin in this season's
"it" style ... the one shoulder dress or blouse. This asymmetrical
look flatters every body type and reveals your best accessory -
gorgeous, even toned skin. Go bold and show it off with Caress Evenly
Gorgeous body wash.
-- The Look: Radiant - Embrace your wild side and go for bold in this
season's eye catching prints. Whether it's a flirty floral, graphic
print or bright bold color - step out of your comfort zone and reveal
a bold new style. Try Caress Glowing Touch body wash for skin that is
gorgeously glowing to complete your look.

-- The Look: Silky - Absolutely every woman needs a little black dress
in her closet - they are classic, universally flattering and can work
for every occasion (date, work, weekend). Find a simple style that
suits your body type and lets your skin take center stage. You can
even update a style you already have by adding a fabulous statement
necklace or a bright hued belt and stilettos. Flaunt your chic look
with skin that is irresistibly silky everyday with Caress Daily Silk
body wash.
