The Hawaiian Tropic face sunscreen is always in my beach bag. I like to use at least 30 SPF on my face and this one is great. Super lightweight, non greasy, and doesn’t break my face out.

Another sunscreen I always keep in my beach bag is the Banana Boat 15 SPF dry oil. I like to use this on my arms, legs, and stomach. It’s a great oil that goes on dry/not greasy but still gives me some protection from the sun!

I use this mineral power sunscreen on my scalp when laying out at the beach. It’s super lightweight and easy to apply. It’s also a dupe for the Hawaiian Tropic brand that is a little more expensive! Definitely recommend if your scalp is sensitive.

When I’m looking to get a little extra color, I use this intensive tanning gel. It helps me get super dark. The scent is light and it has a shiny bronze tint to it. It can stain your bikinis or clothes so be careful!

I cannot stand to get my tanning oil all over my hands when applying at the beach so I use a tanning mitt. I drop some oil on myself and then use the mitt to lightly spread it around. Works great and is easy to fit in my beach bag!

I always bring these sand removal mitts in my bag. They easily remove sand from my body when it’s time to leave the beach, or even when trying to re-apply sunscreen! Definitely a must have.

I always make sure to bring a hair brush with me to the beach. Whether I am getting in and out of the ocean, or it’s just super windy, my hair always gets tangled. This mini brush is perfect to quickly run through my hair.

I like to have one of these water proof phone pouches in my beach bag. They really do protect your phone from water whether you are dodging waves or floating. My large IPhone Max fits fine.
