"The White Lotus" Season 2 Taps Into Italian Beauty Trends

Tell-tale signs that someone's on vacation include tan and dewy skin (which could be from some R&R or the tropical, humid air). "For the most part, the guests have money, so they look put together," Hickey says. However, in real life, the Mediterranean location posed a bit of a challenge. Even though getting a tan is often the goal of a trip, it wasn't ideal for continuity in the show. Season two was filmed over six months, and nothing is filmed in chronological order. "I begged everybody to wear sunscreen," Hickey says. To fake that sun-kissed glow, they used lots of bronzer instead.
