Italian term or phrase: l'estate addosso

Describing a bronzer - per essere impeccabile con semplici gesti sia in ufficio, sia in spiaggia e sentire sempre "l'estate addosso". I can't think how to make this sound effective. Thanks in advance.

summer is upon you

Explanation:
...always have that feeling that 'summer is upon you.'

summer skin

Explanation:
I don't think you can be too literal. I'd suggest something like "for year round summer skin"

i'm sorry - I thought you were looking for a punchline, but now I realise "l'estate addosso" must fit into the sentence above! maybe something like "feel like it's always summer" could do the trick (although i quite like the summer-to-wear idea :-))
