Beach Day Beauty: What I Actually Use Under the Sun

Let’s be real—between salty air, blazing sun, and spontaneous dips in the ocean, beach days are not the moment for full glam. But that doesn’t mean I’m showing up looking like I just rolled out of bed (unless that’s the vibe).
I like to keep things fresh, glowy, and protected. Here’s what actually makes it into my beach bag:
My go-to for face. Lightweight, mineral-based, and gives just enough coverage to even out my skin tone while protecting it. That subtle glow? Chef’s kiss.
The ultimate beach MVP. It melts into the skin, leaves no white cast, and smells like sunshine.
For that radiant, hydrated glow. I spritz it on like perfume—because it truly makes your skin look lit from within.
A little brow gel and a swipe of SPF lip balm are my only musts. Minimal effort, maximum impact.
5. (Optional) Cream Blush
When I’m feeling extra—or taking pics—a peachy cream blush gives me that sun-kissed flush without the UV damage.
6. Hair Hack
Castor oil on my ends + a slick bun + a baseball cap = an effortless beach hair treatment while I tan. Functional and cute.
At the end of the day, beach beauty is about feeling good, not doing the most. Sunscreen is the star—everything else is just bonus.
