From sun protection to hair care and everything in between, here are eight beach bag essentials that will make your summer outings stress-free and fabulous.

1. Lip Balm and Sunscreen with SPF 30:

Don’t forget to protect your lips from the harsh rays of the sun. COOLA Organic Liplux Lip Balm not only moisturizes your lips but also provides SPF 30 sun protection, keeping them soft, supple, and shielded from UV damage. I love how moisturizing this is without feeling goopy.

Compact and travel-friendly, this detangling brush is a must-have for beach-goers with unruly locks. This brush works great for all hair types.

3. Sand Remover:

Say goodbye to sandy skin with the Beach Day Sand Remover! Formulated with seven natural ingredients and free of talc and fragrance, this gentle and skin-friendly formula effectively removes sand, leaving your skin feeling clean, smooth, and refreshed after a day at the beach. All you need to do is gently pat on sandy skin and watch it easily wipe off sticky sand! This is a great solution for sensitive skin.

This portable facial sprayer emits a fine mist of water, replenishing moisture and revitalizing your skin, especially on hot summer days. USB rechargeable and compact in size, it’s perfect for on-the-go hydration whenever you need it. The fine mist is instantly absorbed into your skin and provides a soothing effect. Let me tell you this feels amazing on a warm day spent outside!

Prevent your beach towel from blowing away with the beach towel clips. These heavy-duty clothespins securely hold your towel in place, whether you’re lounging on the sand or relaxing in a beach chair. Available in a variety of colors, these clips are both functional and stylish beach accessories. The ones I purchased come in a pack of 8.
