By , About.com Guide

It's a fact, you show more skin during the summer. With a closet full of cute skirts, shorts and swimsuits, you need to take care of your skin with the right products to get the super summer skin. Get a head start on your summer skin this spring. Here are 6 of our favorite spring skin must-have's.

1. Skin Authority: Bamboo Ginseng Body Scrub

This gel-exfoliator is a mild body exfoliator with a nice light scent. It's something that you could use daily to wash and exfoliate and not worry that it's too harsh on your skin. The little scrubbing bits that exfoliate your skin are a combination of Bamboo Powder, Loofah Powder, Oat Powder, Sweet Almond Seed Powder and Corn Cob Powder. We think it's perfect for spring.

2. Beautisol: Gradual Tanner - All Seasons Glow

If you're a self tanning fan, you've probably already started using a self tanner or at least thought about it. I'd like to recommend Beautisol this year for your self tanner, especially if you have fair skin. I can honestly tell you that the color I got with it was so much more natural than some of the other brands that I've tried. And it doesn't make your skin stink, either! Use it on your body and your face.

3. Fake Bake: Bronze on the Glow

But if you aren't much into the idea of a self tanner and the streaks they give your skin, try Fake Bake's Bronze on the Glow. It's not going to stain your skin for days, it's only going to give it color for a day until you take a shower and wash it off. The color is instant and it even comes with little gloves to rub it in for a more natural look. This is perfect for those spring weddings when you are afraid to bare those legs but you want to wear that dress you've been staring at in your closet all winter.!

4. Crabtree & Evelyn: Iris Collection

Spring means flowers, and Crabtree & Evelyn have a new Floral collection. The collection consists of Iris, Lily of the Valley, Rosewater and Lavender. Our favorite is Iris because it's light and sweet, not heavy or perfumed. (Lily of the Valley is very perfumed.) Pick a perfume, shower gel, lotion or body butter and add a little Iris to your morning.

5. Josie Maran: Argan Illuminizer

We adore illuminating moisturizers and we love Josie Maran products, so this is a winner all around. The Argan Illuminizer can be used as a stand-alone product, or mixed with your foundation for extra glow. Use it on your face, your shoulders and collarbone. It's lightweight and gives your skin the benefits of argan oil. Reviewers can't get enough of this product!

6. OPI for Sephora: Glee Collection

Gotta give a shout-out to all the Gleeks out there with OPI for Sephora's Glee Collection. The sandals are out, don't put them on until your feet are ready. Bright colors always work on your feet, even if you're a natural fingernail fan. This set gives you a mini of each in the collection and should last you all spring and summer long.
