You’ve packed your favorite Solid & Striped bikinis and Missoni cover-ups—but before you head to the beach this afternoon, there’s one more aspect of your arsenal to consider: the perfect assortment of beauty goodies to keep you looking great once you hit the sand.
A powerful broad-spectrum SPF is a must, of course, and Supergoop’s innovative oil-based formula gives skin a healthy sheen while absorbing UV rays. But the importance of a lush golden hair elixir that smells like a vacation in a bottle and protects your color can’t be underestimated—not to mention the right brush for detangling salt-sprayed strands or the perfect cooling cucumber-infused face mist.
Still, it may be what you have on hand for after you’ve rolled up your beach towel and headed for the nearest brightly striped awning that separates the seaside experts from the amateurs: Did you know, for instance, that Johnson’s baby powder is a miraculously effective way to remove sand from feet and ankles? Or that By Terry’s lip and cheek tint is the prettiest pre-lunch touch-up? Tatcha’s super-healing skin balm seems destined to become a new cult after-sun classic—calming itching and irritation with a blend of colloidal oatmeal and indigo extract. (History lesson: Japanese samurais once wore cotton dyed with the latter beneath their armor as a way of healing injuries.) Stock up now before it sells out.
