The 12 Beauty Products You Need on Beach and Pool Days
From fancy, safe-for-sea-creatures sunscreens to an updated version of Sun-In, here are the 12 beach beauty products you want in your tote bag this summer.
Artsy-fartsy non-aluminum-based deodorants that actually work are few and far between, and this is one of those unicorns. In addition to smelling nice and not wearing off after an hour (or even 15), it comes as an easy-to-wield stick, allowing for easy post-dip reapplication. (Yes, we love our creamy Soapwalla paste, but let's face it, one good wind gust and that container would be lousy with sand.)
Normally, we like to keep our makeup minimal when water and sand-adjacent, but then this picture of Kendall Jenner wearing a hip-bone-baring one-piece with a bold red lip surfaced, and now we're dying to rock a statement lip/swimsuit lewk. This super-concentrated formula is known for its staying power, plus fiery orange-red is the perfect summer shade.
Again, when swimming is on the agenda, it's best to minimize your makeup routine. However, if you insist on making post-beach plans and need to look presentable, bring along Tatcha's heaven-in-a-bottle face mist, to be used in lieu of foundation. It'll give you the most natural, dewy, angelic glow, and your sun-kissed skin will appreciate the hefty dose of hyaluronic acid and Japanese anti-aging superfoods delivered in every spritz.
Keep an easy-to-swipe concealer pen on hand for quick complexion fixes. (Redness happens, particularly when you're laying out in the sun.) This non-toxic one from Beautycounter blends right into your skin — it's perfect for light, soft, semi-sheer coverage. The only tricky(-ish) part is picking a color that anticipates your tan.
Again, when it comes to beachside beauty, compact, double-duty products are everything. Once you've had your fill of the water, swipe this lightweight multi-stick across your lips, eyes and cheeks for a pretty, natural-looking flush. And don't worry: the formula is loaded with hydrating ingredients like sunflower, castor and sesame oil, so it won't sit heavily on your sunned, sensitive skin.
