Candice Swanepoel shares a stunning nude photo of herself sunbathing on the beach

Candice Swanepoel sends temperatures soaring as she shows off her nude backside while sunbathing on a beach

She’s the founder and creative director of the swimwear label Tropic of C.

Yet Candice Swanepoel appeared to forgo a bathing suit all together in a racy photo shared with her 15.1 million Instagram followers on Monday.

The 32-year-old South African model flaunted her pert derriere and highlighted her tanned skin while lying on her front at the beach.

Candice had her arms outstretched and turned her head to face the camera while crossing her legs.

‘~Full moon in libra ~,’ she caption the steamy snap.

Candice didn’t specify which tropical beach she was visiting, but posts from her friends revealed she was soaking up the sun in Tulum, Mexico.

The picture was snapped on Sunday, which marked the first supermoon of 2021, meaning the moon was slightly closer to Earth than usual, making it appear somewhat larger. 

Fit physiques: Later on Monday, she shared a photo of herself with photographer Eduardo Bravin and Brazilian model Lais Riberio

Another photo she posted to Instagram later on Monday showed Candice now somewhat clothed in a brilliant orange string bikini.

She posed with finger guns while highlighting her high-cut bottoms and her washboard abs.

The Victoria’s Secret model helped block out the sun with blue reflective wraparound shades and a white bucket hat with an upturned brim.

She had her arm wrapped around photographer Eduardo Bravin, who wore a purple swim suit, and the Brazilian model Lais Ribeiro, who wore a matching orange two-piece suit while she turned around to highlight her backside.

‘Working with my besties,’ Candice captioned the photo. She also tagged her swimsuit line Tropic of C, suggesting they were doing a photoshoot for the brand.

Enjoying the sights: Although one would normally expect to see the moon at night, Sunday's supermoon was at its largest in the late afternoon, so Candice posted more photos taken while the sun was still out to her Insta Stories

She posed off in the distance with her hands raised toward the sky in one photo, while she relaxed on the sand between her friends in another photo that she captioned, ‘Moon children.’

Candice first launched Tropic Of C in January of 2018 with the aim to create swimwear made from environmentally sustainable materials.

The company’s products are mainly constructed with a regenerated nylon fiber made from various recycled materials. 

Rather than using a screen printing process, Swanepoel’s brand digitally prints its textiles, which reduces water and electricity consumption. 

The blonde beauty, who lives part of the year in Brazil, also ensured that Tropic Of C’s packaging was made with biodegradable materials.

In addition to focusing on her line’s physical aspects, the runway regular is often featured in her brand’s promotional photos, and she regularly shares them on her own Instagram account.
