Dutch term or phrase: laat je aantrekkingskracht werken

Promotional text for a clinic:

Cocktails nippen, roodgelakte tenen in het warme zand, lichte texturen en stoffen, oneindig veel buitenspeelplezier met de kids, een hemelsblauwe lucht en een zomerse gezonde blos op je wangen...Als je het ons vraagt zijn we er hemelaal klaar voor, ZOMER, **laat je aantrekkingskracht werken! **

Die mooie, gebruinde huid vormt een leuk zomerextraatje, zij het niet dat we jou waarschijnlijk niet snel zullen spotten zonder zonnebril op je neus om de plots toch wel heel erg opvallende witte kraaienpootjes op je getaande huid te bedekken.

To counteract this, the clinic is offering a "huidverjongingsbehandeling met Botox".

Not happy with the whole of that last sentence, as a direct translation sounds a bit silly in English, so any alternative suggestions welcome.

show your allure

Explanation:
instead of hiding it. Another possibility is to let it shine. Work your allure is also possible, but to me that feels like too much hard work for a day at the beach. So I would go for: show your allure.
