Beach Bag Beauty

Don't leave home without these beauty-boosting products when you head to the beach. They'll protect and prettify.

By Crystal Martin · July 30, 2014October 27, 2020
01
L’Oreal Advanced Suncare Invisible Protect Dry Oil Spray 50+

If you’ve never tried an oil sunscreen, now’s the time. This one form L’Oreal gives your skin a gorgeous glow while it protects, $11, drugstores.

02
Avene Eau Thermale

Keep this in your beach bag to refresh your skin during your sunny day, $18, drugstores.

03
Neutrogena Revitalizing SPF Lip Balm

Wear this hydrating balm under your lipstick or alone to protect your pout, $9, drugstores.

04
Anthelios 30 Cooling Water-Lotion Sunscreen with Cell-Ox Shield XL

This is hands down our favorite sunscreen. It’s light and non-greasy, and the water-feel texture is perfect for steamy beach days, $36, doobop.com.

05
Flower Beauty Kiss Me Twice Lip and Cheek Chubby

This multi-purpose chubby works on lips, too, but is best as a cream blush. Dab it on your cheeks for sun-kissed glow.

06
CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion Water Resistant Mascara

Fluttering lashes are key to cute beach pics. Swipe on a little right before posing and since this formula is water resistent, you should be covered all day long, $8, drugstores.

07
Sally Hansen Miracle Gel

A day at the beach is even better with a brand new mani. Paint your tips while you lounge with this new incredibly long-lasting polish from Sally Hansen. Editor-tested, this polish lasts about a week chip free.

08
Julep Well-Manicured Kit

These pro-level nail tools are everything you need to DIY and the kit is perfectly portable. Make a summer-inspired mani your beach-day project.

09
Bioelements Beyond Hydration

This light gel moisturizer is cooling and exactly what you’ll need post pool. It’s cooling, refreshing and featherweight—but has no sunscreen, so pop it on after sun to increase hydration.

10
Revlon ColorBurst Balms

These rich balms give you the perfect amount of color. For the faint of heart, lipstick may seem like too much for the beach, but trust us—for the beach selfie it’s worth it, $9, drugstores.

11
La Roche Posay Anthelios Face Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid

This light formula is perfect for summer because it leaves and ultra-matte finish and won’t create a white cast on the skin. For a day at the beach, reapply every couple hours, $30, drugstores.

12
Aveda Sun Care Protective Hair Veil

Changes are you’ve added a little color to your hair for summer. A sunny beach day can kill highlights and color. Protect your strands with this spray from Aveda, $28 (or wear a hat).

13
Josie Maran Argan Color Stick

This multitasker can be used to perk up lips or cheeks, $22, josiemarancosmetics.com.
