The Essentials:
1. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Water Resistant Sunscreen SPF 30. My go-to sunscreen for YEARS! This absorbs quickly for an invisible finish. (No white sheen or residue.) Light weight and non-greasy, shine-free finish. Doesn’t look or feel like anything on the skin. (I use this on face AND body.) Formulated with “Helioplex® Technology,” it offers superior broad spectrum protection from aging UVA rays and burning UVB rays. (Non-comedogenic… Meaning it won’t clog pores! Ive never broken out from this.) Water-resistant up to 80 minutes. PABA-free. Oxybenzone-free. UVA/UVB SPF 30 broad spectrum sun protection. A summer staple. 💛
2. Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen. spf 40. Newly aded to my sunscreen / skincare collection. This is NOT your typical “sunscreen”… This is a gel formula that feels exactly like a silicone primer. It is an antioxidant-rich SPF primer, that also preps skin for makeup while providing broad spectrum SPF 40 and protection from blue light! Cool, right?! The oil-free formula glides onto skin providing shine control and leaving a velvety, makeup-gripping finish. This is a totally invisible, weightless, scentless sunscreen. It leaves a velvety finish. It’s vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free and Reef-safe formula, meaning it’s octinoxate-free. See for yourself why it has over 2k reviews, and almost a full 5 star rating / an average of an “85% would recommend!!” — It’s just magical.
3. Coola sunscreen. Organic. Spf 50. Farm to Face formula is sun protection and moisturizer in one—providing sheer broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection while hydrating skin. Formulated with antioxidant-rich Plant Protection Complex. fragrance-free. provides light-as-air protection. Plus it’s coconut scented!!!! 🥥
4. Spf lip balm. 👄 tropical scent/flavor. Hydrates and protects lips with spf, **UPDATE: i like this one too!! Great / long protection.
5. Scunci’s No Damage Hair Elastics have no metal. designed to give a firm, secure, comfortable all day hold without causing dents or damage to your hair! (a dupe for the “Invisibobble”) 👱🏻♀️
6. Cool Down Hydrating After Sun Lotion – enriched with soothing Aloe and Vitamin E, providing an intense hydration to gently restore the skin’s natural moisture balance. light, non-greasy formula is quickly absorbed, leaving the skin smooth and soft! 🌞
(I also found a SET that includes the lip balm, the cool down lotion and sunscreen! AMAZING deal! Grab it HERE before its gone!)
7. SPF CC cream. For when you want a bit of coverage, while still protecting and hydrating your skin! Provides a Pore-less Finish Full Coverage, Matte Foundation + Anti-Aging Hydrating Serum + SPF 40 UVA/UVB Broad Spectrum Physical Sunscreen. camouflages imperfections including redness on skin, acne scarring, and large pores without creasing or cracking. clinically tested to reduce shine and control oil for up to 12 hours.
8. A clear cosmetic bag. Because i wanna know what i have, and where i have it 😉 Life made simple.
9. Waterproof case for your phone. This is a NEED. i always lock mine up in a waterproof case when im at the beach or on a boat to protect it from water and sand!!!
10. I own multiple style beach / summer bags depending on the occasion and plans i use the following:
- This is a beach bag with a detachable cooler on the bottom. Perfect for snacks and WHITECLAWS! 😉 available in a ton of cute colors and patterns!! Also available in a bigger size here.
- I love this Structured tote. This is a Collapsible Durable Bag. That holds it rectangular shape. Its a Heavy Duty Large perfect for so many items, i use mine mainly for beach towels and snacks i dont want to get smushed like chips 😉 because the bag stays up on its own and holds it shapes it makes packing and traveling so much easier. Also great for grocery store trips / road trips etc!!
- And this is a trendy fashionable style bag that i like more for going out / dressing up etc. Cute to dress up or down for day or night.
What are YOUR MUST-HAVE beach bag essentials ?!
