Throughout the day, guests viewed the latest looks from the L Space swimwear collection, and consulted with expert beauty and fashion stylists, who gave summer makeovers with Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration™ lotion sunscreen.

“Hawaiian Tropic® sun care products are all about giving our consumer the indulgent beauty experience she wants with the sun protection she needs, and new Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration™ lotion sunscreen is no exception,” said Minna Raffin, Sun Care Director, Energizer Personal Care, maker of Hawaiian Tropic® sun care products. “With its ultra-luxurious hydrating silk ribbons, it nourishes and pampers skin while providing broad spectrum protection when out in the sun.”
