Getting Your Summer and Beach Beauty Bag Ready

A body cream is a must-have in every summer beauty bag — it nourishes and restores the skin after sun exposure and salty seawater. For extra care, include an SPF lip balm and other essentials like a hydrating gel and sun protection products.

As summer begins, it’s especially important to focus on skincare, since sun, wind, and salty water can dehydrate and irritate the skin. Your beach beauty kit must include a high-SPF sunscreen. It will protect your skin from UV radiation and help prevent premature aging.

After sun exposure, your skin needs restorative care, so don’t forget to pack a moisturizing body cream — preferably with aloe vera or natural oils. It helps relieve tightness and supports skin regeneration. It’s also important to include a nourishing body cream and an SPF lip balm to protect your delicate lips from drying and chapping.

Opt for products with natural ingredients — natural skincare is gentle and suitable even for sensitive skin. A well-prepared summer beauty bag is the key to a comfortable vacation and beautiful, well-cared-for skin.

When Should You Apply Skincare Products?

  1. Apply sunscreen in advance
    • Use sunscreen 15–20 minutes before sun exposure.
    • Apply generously to all exposed skin.
    • Reapply every 2 hours, especially after swimming or towel drying.
  2. Use body gel right after sun exposure
    • After the beach, shower, or pool, apply a moisturizing body gel — especially on areas where the skin feels dry or sunburned.
    • Gels with aloe vera, panthenol, or sea minerals work best.
  3. Don’t forget your lips
    • Apply SPF lip balm before and after sun exposure.
    • Reapply throughout the day — lips can burn too!
  4. Use body cream at night or after showering
    • Apply nourishing body cream in the evening to help your skin recover.
    • It helps maintain softness and prevents peeling after tanning.

Always keep thermal water or a moisturizing mist on hand. Check expiration dates on your cosmetics — especially natural ones, as they have a shorter shelf life. A thoughtfully packed summer beauty bag is not only a comfort booster but also an act of care for your skin’s health and beauty.

May your summer be bright and your skin radiant and well-cared-for!
