Top beach beauty essentials
Be sure to include these items when packing your beach bag for the best day out in the sunshine.
1. Sun protection
Sunscreen is undoubtedly the most important product to remember when going to the beach. To protect your skin from sun damage, you’ll need to apply it 15 minutes before your outing, after swimming, and every two hours for maintenance. While it may be tempting to skip the sunscreen to avoid the heavy white cast often associated with it, we recommend against it. Instead, opt for a non-greasy formula like Pack Up & Glow Priming Mineral SPF. This next-generation mineral sunscreen primes, perfects, and protects your skin, giving you a healthy glow and satin finish. Ideal for every skin type and tone, it helps prevent moisture loss and photoaging for skin that looks good while wearing it and afterward, too.

The ideal beach makeup aesthetic is light, bright, and fresh. To achieve this, we recommend creating a minimalist makeup look that's easy to maintain throughout the day and won't smudge, regardless of salt water or sweat.
Start with a touch of color for a sun-kissed glow using On-The-Glow Blush and Illuminator. This multitasking blush and illuminator stick can be used on the cheeks, eyes, lips, and body for gorgeous color and dewy luminosity. Choose your ideal shade of blush: Coral Rose — a warm peachy pink; Petal Pink — a soft peony pink; Bare — a soft nude rose; Sienna Sunset — a warm spiced pink; or Strawberry Fields — a rosy raspberry. The cream illuminator then adds dimension and glow to the top of the cheekbones, tip of the nose, and collarbones.
Next, highlight your eyes with water-resistant mascara. A touch of blush on the eyelids and a few swipes of mascara will create a natural, bright-eyed look that doesn't require much maintenance. Choose the Upgraded Lashes Thickening Mascara for a full, flirty, fanned-out lash effect.
Finish off with a luxuriously juicy pout. Our Lip Retreat Oil provides hydration and protection with lip-loving rosa canina fruit oil, apricot kernel oil, avocado oil, and vitamin E. For this look, we suggest our newest shade, Oasis Glow. This is a clear gloss with an iridescent shimmer for a perfectly plump pout.

Gather all your summer beauty essentials in one place with the Wander Around Tote. This limited-edition, eco-friendly tote is the perfect over-the-shoulder beach bag. Made from recycled plastic, it's an ideal size for effortless adventures and can be thrown into the washing machine after your day out. Plus, it's pink!
To avoid reaching into your beach bag and finding Narnia, place your beauty essentials into the Airplane Mode™ Clear Makeup Bag. This way, you’ll have easy access to your sunscreen and other essentials. Featuring a top zip closure, your products will be kept safe and within easy reach.
<product>5,6</product>Essential extras
Other than your beach skincare essentials, and the obvious items like beach towels and sunglasses, there are a few miscellaneous extras you’ll want to bring along too. These include:
- Hair ties
- A hat
- Fresh drinking water
- Snacks
- A book or earphones
After-beach care
What you take to the beach makes your trip comfortable, but what you use after the beach keeps your skin healthy. To effectively wash away the day, we recommend double cleansing with B.O.M. Voyage Cleansing Balm and Drift Away™ Cleanser. Using an oil-based cleanser will effectively remove makeup, SPF, pollution, sweat, and sebum from your face. Following with a water-based cleanser will provide a deep cleanse from clogged pores, dead skin cells, and toxins, which prepares your skin to receive nutrition and hydration from the products that follow.
You already know the importance of hydrating your skin, but when you’ve spent the day in sun, salt, and sand, that becomes even more important. To rehydrate and replenish your skin, reach for our Staycation Hydrating Mask. This soothing mask drenches the skin in ceramides and peptides to provide long-lasting hydration and improve skin texture and appearance. While it can be used as a daily moisturizer, we recommend applying it as an overnight skin treatment by lathering on a generous layer as the last step of your evening skincare routine.
Be sure to care for your hair too! Saltwater can have a dehydrating effect on your hair, resulting in hair that feels dry, brittle, and frizzy. To combat this, wash and condition your hair after ocean dips with our travel-friendly Good to Go Mini Hair & Body Kit. After washing your hair, apply the Scenic Route conditioner and leave for 20 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
