Hitting the Beach? Don’t Forget to Pack These Beauty Essentials

Your parents’ voices are probably ringing in your ears, but don’t forget sunscreen! We like Banana Boat’s SPF 50 for those with sensitive skin. It’s unscented and water resistant for up to 80 minutes.

Supergoop!’s 100 percent invisible sunscreen stick delivers clear sun protection without the messiness or thickness of a cream. You can layer it over makeup seamlessly.

One more sunscreen, this time a luxury, lightweight daily facial formula from La Prairie that shields skin from UVA/UVB rays, delivers deep hydration, and helps prevent age spots, discoloration, and environmental damage.

This is a quick-drying spray that aims to protect your exposed part lines and hair from UV rays without leaving a heavy, greasy residue or weighing your hair down.

This set helps manage post-swim or ocean hair. It comes with a microfiber towel to blot wet hair, a lightweight leave-in conditioner to rehydrate and detangle salt-exposed strands, and a texturizing mousse to recreate those beach waves.

This lip balm delivers high-level UV protection with a glossy, tined finish. It’s designed to prevent sun-induced hyperpigmentation and premature aging on the lips, while feeling non-sticky and buttery.

You never know when you might need a little touchup, and Schick’s mini razor from its fan-favorite Hydro Silk line will tuck away in your beach bag.

Through a combination of a nutrient-rich, anti-irritant fermented sea kelp blend, proprietary deconstructed waters, and the brand’s signature cell-renewing Miracle Broth, La Mer’s mist hydrates, cools, and refreshes the skin—ideal for a hot, sticky day on the beach.

This is an anti-aging eye cream, a color-correcting concealer, and a 100 percent mineral broad-spectrum SPF 35 sunscreen all fused together, with the aim to treat dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines while protecting the delicate eye area.

To wash off the salt and sand post beach day, Lancer’s limited-edition collection includes an exfoliating polish, a glowing complexion perfector, and mineral SPF protection. It even comes with a beach towel, in case you need an extra.

Here’s something you’re probably forgetting: deodorant. After a day sweating in the sun, you’re going to need it—and Native makes a convenient spray that gets the job done.

If a spray isn’t your style, Nécessaire’s body wipes take away any odors and will leave you feeling refreshed after the day.

Looking for tanning oil? People turn to Nuxe’s for high UV defense that delivers a cosmetic finish. It protects your face and body from sunburn while still leaving a non-greasy, radiant glow.

Or give yourself a spray from Snif’s nostalgic, warm scent of classic beach tanning oil that will make you smell like you’ve been tanning without the skin effects.
