Summertime is the season of beach vacations. You may prefer to enjoy the sand and surf bare-faced (plus some sunscreen), or you may prefer a touch of makeup. The question is – What products are best for the beach? Below are some suggestions.
1. A Moisturizer/Sunscreen Combo – So, maybe you don’t want to wear foundation at the beach. After all, you’re trying to tan your face…not make it disappear. To get the best of both worlds – a tan and nice skin – opt for a moisturizer with a good SPF. Neutrogena carries several moisturizers ranging from SPF 15 to around SPF 35. Experiment with different brands and then settle on the one that you like the best. Look for moisturizers that are more water-resistant, oil-free, and light in consistency. You’ll be surprised by what you’ll find on the shelves of your local drugstore.
2. A Water-Proof Mascara – Want to have a touch of glam without looking like you just left the Belk beauty counter? Try applying a bit of waterproof mascara. Carry a tube with you in your beach bag so you can reapply if needed.
3. A Tinted Lip Balm – Who says you have to sacrafice color for moisture? Burt’s Bees carries all natural options that will keep you moisturized while also adding some color to your pout. Again, experiment with brands to figure out which one works best for you throughout your long days in the sun.
4. Blotting Paper – Whether your skin is oily or not, sweat is something every woman will experience at some point. Bring a pack of blotting papers with you to reduce shine and get rid of a sweaty upper lip if needed.
Enjoy the sun and sand while still feeling glam! Don’t be afraid to go natural
