Modeling swimwear comes naturally to Georgia Fowler, who grew up down the street from the beach in Auckland, New Zealand. “I took it for granted. It’s not until I started traveling for work that I realized I already had some of the best beaches in my backyard,” says the super, who maintains her Victoria’s Secret figure year-round―and takes a dip in the sea whenever she finds time in her busy schedule. Here, Fowler demonstrates her favorite tongue-in-cheek tanning positions in the season’s chicest, nontraditional swim looks. Read on for her summer skincare approach, beachy beauty tips, and more.
HER BEACH BABE BACKGROUND
“I spent my summers as a kid going to a bach (Kiwi for ‘beach house’) almost every day. We’d hit the sand from 8 A.M. until 6, then take a stroll to get an ‘ice block’ from the dairy, which is like a convenience store. I try to go swimming year round. It’s Autumn in New Zealand right now, but I actually love the freshness of the cold ocean and that take-your-breath-away feeling.”

HER TANNING PHILOSOPHY
“I’m naturally pretty tan. My mum jokes I’m heat-activated and get dark without even going in the sun! When I was a teenager I always aimed for golden brown, but now I try to stay a bit more covered up.”

HER EASY BRONZING TIPS
“Wear the tiniest bikini possible! And rotate! Or go European-style and free the nip. But don’t forget the details. I once got a major tan line from a thin gold necklace that was virtually tattooed on me for months.”

HER SUMMER SKINCARE
“Even though I don’t really get burned, these days I make a point to lather on the SPF 50. I love anything that smells like coconut! And L’Oreal makes some great sunscreens that are super easy to apply.”

HER SANDY BEAUTY ROUTINE
“I never wear makeup at the beach. That’s my time to let my skin breathe. I always say to embrace the sand on your towel because it’s a great exfoliator. And drenching yourself in moisturizer is key to prolonging a tan. With my hair, I play up the waves I get from the ocean, and definitely stretch washing in between. But sea water can be very drying, so I also do hydrating masques more regularly.”

HER LAID-BACK BEACH LOOK
“I’m all about mixing swim with fashion pieces for going out, but a trip to the beach back home calls for the basics: a breezy linen shirt, cateye shades, a basic bikini, and cutoffs. Or no pants at all!”
