Spring Break in Panama City Beach is packed with hotties from all over the country... Being the beauty on the beach takes work - and getting with the beauty on the beach also requires effort! Here are a few secrets the SpringBreakHQ team has discovered over the last few years of things you can do before you arrive and while you're here to be a beach hottie.

Hello Highlights! It's been a long winter and some of you will choose to brighten up your look for Spring Break... and some Spring Breakers will change looks completely, putting their head in the "witness protection program" to not be easily recognized while on Spring Break! Whatever the reason, while on Panama City Beach the exposure to the sun and salt water will cause the color to fade. In order to maintain the color, it is best to cover your hair by using a hat or bandanna when going outside. Quick Tip for the ladies: Spring Break HQ experts have noticed that for some reason a lot of guys thing a baseball hat and a bikini look really hot - keep that in mind when you're looking for color maintenance gear!

Pre-Tan Tips! Spray tans are a quick way to be bronzed upon arrival for Spring Break in Panama City Beach without the risks that tanning beds have - and having a tan helps camouflage some of little things we all are self-conscious about. With a quick spray tan you'll already look as if you just took an exotic vacation when really you've only spent 5 minutes on a tan. However, if you choose to get sprayed do NOT take a dip in salt water because it will affect how long your tan will last. Quick Tip for Breakers: We've heard that applying a waterproof sun block can help minimize the effects of water on a spray tan.

Skeptical about spray tans but still don't think the albino look is for you? Another pre-tanning option for before your Panama City Beach Spring Break Trip is to visit a tanning bed. This method takes a little more time, but with a little bit of dedication you can still arrive in PCB already beautifully bronzed and not have the risk of water-damaged splotches to a spray tan.

Spend Spring Break in the Sun! Nature Knows Best! There is nothing more relaxing that achieving your tan the natural way, the warm sun beating down on you, the cool breeze off the Gulf of Mexico, friends by your side... Just don't forget the Sunscreen! The Florida Sun can be your best friend or your worst enemy. No one wants to spend Spring Break sunburnt! It's uncomfortable and can really bring you down. Looking like a lobster is NOT HOT. Be smart, use sunscreen!!

Drink lots of water! Seriously! One of the best things that you can do for your skin is to drink a lot of water. Water will keep your body hydrated and therefore will keep your skin hydrated as well - and healthy skin is way hotter than dry dull skin.

No Such Thing as a Hamper Hottie! Get organized. When you get to the hotel and up to your room hang up or lay flat the club clothes you don't want wrinkled, you don't want to look like you pulled something out of the hamper while on spring break... The competition will be fierce - you'll want to look your best! And honestly, are you really going to want to iron clothes during spring break!? Um... No!

Hangovers Are Not Hot! Hangovers are the worst. Waking up with your head is pounding, all sounds are way too loud, all lights are way too bright (especially the sun - and at the beach this IS a problem) your mouth is dry, your stomach is upset, you feel like you are going to get sick... and you LOOK TERRIBLE! Feeling miserable and looking miserable is simply not attractive. Celebrate smart - Rehydrate! Water is the main fight against hangovers, try adding a few glasses of water throughout the day or night while drinking alcoholic beverages. Not only will you look and feel better - the "beer goggles" won't be as thick when you add water into the night's equation, which equals less regret when you wake up, wink! Another good way to avoid this awful feeling is to eat! The Holiday Inn Resort provides a Mid-night buffet with all your favorite post-party foods. If you choose another hotel, stop to grab food on your way back or make sure your hotel room is well stocked with post-party favorite snacks!

Ok beautiful breakers, you know what to do...!!!
