I love Aveeno products, my skin is so sensitive Aveeno is the only thing I have found that works without irritation. My best summer tip is soaking up some sun with Aveeno lotion with sunscreen and drinking plenty of water.
I would have to say it is homemade sugar free lemonade..........in a spray bottle for my hair. Fresh lemon juice and a little water and spray a little on your hair before you go out in the sun. Every year when I do this I get the sun-kissed beach girl looking highlights.
I guess you can take the girl off the beach and throw her in the mountains but you will never get the beach out of the girl. 
I use to be skeptical about using Aveeno products because I didn't think it was formulated for African American skin needs, but I decided to give the Aveeno Active Naturals Smart Essentials line a try for the Summer and I absolutely Love it! The Anti-Fatigue Eye Treatment is Perfect for those mornings when I didn't get enough sleep, and the Daily Nourishing Moisturizer gives me a Sun kissed Glow without the use of a Bronzer! This product is perfect, and is now a permanent part of my medicine cabinet, esp. since I just moved to Sunny Florida! I could sure use a Free years worth of Aveeno products... They truly are Great!!!
Moisture and SPF is the key to Younger Looking Skin.
Always wear sunscreen, especially in the summer. Don't neglect sensitive areas like lips.
I live at 6700 feet so the sun is super intense. SPF and tons of water are what we have to stock up on in the summer time to keep from turning into dryed out lobsters.
can't stress enough.... HYDRATION, HYDRATION, HYDRATION.... both inside and out.....
Diet is most important, eat vegan if you can, drink lots of water, use sunscreen every day.
Always have a bottle of sunscreen with you. And some aloe because someone else will always forget to put the sunscreen on and gets burned!
mine is golden, glowing makeup tones. Golds, bronzes and even satin finish mauves look amazing on sunkissed skin and give that to die for sunkissed look.
