🧴 SPF That Feels Like Skincare
These don’t feel sticky or heavy—just glowy, hydrating protection I actually want to reapply.
This is honestly the prettiest sunscreen I’ve ever used. It gives my skin this radiant glow (almost like a filter IRL), and it protects my face without feeling heavy or greasy at all.
Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40 - Tinted Sunscreen & Primer
I love how lightweight this feels. It legit sinks in like a luxury serum and smells so fresh. I’ve worn it under makeup and alone, and my skin always looks smoother after.
SPF 50 Face Sunscreen: Organic & Fragrance-Free - COOLA
I swipe this across my face without even looking in a mirror. It’s totally clear, mess-free, and never leaves a weird residue. This one never leaves my bag.
Clear Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+ - Shiseido
This one’s my lazy-girl hack for reapplying at the beach. I literally just spray it everywhere and I’m done. The scent is SO good—it’s giving tropical vacation.
Original SPF 30 Sunscreen Spray - Sun Bum
So moisturizing and completely invisible on my skin. I use it even when I’m not at the beach because it makes me look glowy without being oily.
Black Girl Sunscreen SPF 30 - Moisturizing, No White Cast ...
🏖️ Cute Comfort Essentials
This is the only towel I use now. It’s big but folds up so small, dries in like 2 minutes, and somehow never brings sand back into my car. Total beach upgrade.
Beach Towels & Blankets- 10% Donated to Protect Oceans
I’ve taken this to the beach, the pool, festivals—you name it. It’s super secure and still cute. Everything I need fits, and it never feels bulky.
Everywhere Belt Bag 1L | Men's Bags,Purses,Wallets | lululemon
I wear these every summer and they’re still in perfect shape. They don’t rub or get gross in the sand, and they match literally every bikini I own.
Slim Flip Flops at Havaianas
This keeps my water ice cold for hours. I fill it with ice and lemon before leaving the house, and it stays fresh all day in the sun. Worth every penny.
Insulated & Stainless Steel Water Bottles - Hydro Flask
I soak this before I head out and keep it in a Ziploc. When I’m overheating, I wrap it around my neck and feel instantly 10x better. Lifesaver on super hot days.
Frogg Toggs® Chilly Pad® Cooling Towel
💄 Low-Key Glow-Up
This is my beach glam in a tube. It gives the juiciest glossy finish but feels like a hydrating balm. I swipe it on and instantly feel cute
maracuja juicy lip balm gloss - Tarte
I’ve been using this for a month and had someone ask me how you have such beautiful eyebrows suddenly. Biggest compliment
Brow Lift - Clear Eyebrow Gel | e.l.f. Cosmetics
I dab this across my cheeks and nose after sunscreen and it gives the cutest sunkissed look—even before I get a tan. Makes my face look playful and fresh.
Freck OG, The Original Faux Freckle Makeup, .045 fl oz - Freck Beauty
I put one dot on each cheek and blend with my fingers. It gives me that natural, flushed-from-the-sun vibe but lasts even in the heat.
Saie Dew Blush™ | Liquid Cheek Flush
This is honestly my favorite self tanner. I just mix a few drops into my moisturizer and wake up with the prettiest glow. So easy and never streaky.
The Face - Tan-Luxe
🧼 Little Luxuries I Swear By
This stuff changed my life. I swipe it on before heading out and forget all about thigh chafing. It’s invisible, non-greasy, and just works.
Thigh Rescue Anti-Friction Stick - Megababe
Absolutely love this! I just spritz and scrunch and suddenly my hair looks like I spent the day surfing—even if I didn’t even go in the water.
Surf Sea Salt Spray
I use these every single beach day to wipe off sunscreen or clean my hands before eating. They smell amazing and make me feel refreshed instantly.
Lemon Towelettes - Herban Essentials
I spray this all over after swimming and it makes me smell like a walking piña colada. Sweet, warm, and soooo beachy. My friends always ask what it is.
Sol de Janeiro Travel Sizes - Online Exclusive
This is the only hand sanitizer I don’t hate using. It smells like a spa and doesn’t dry out my hands—plus, it’s so satisfying to spritz.
