As a self-proclaimed beach bum (except I’m the one under the umbrella 100% of the time lest I melt or gain another wrinkle), I’m basically an expert at packing a beach bag.
Now that I’m enjoying this Florida-living with my family, we’re at the beach all the time, so I have learned what I need the most to keep myself looking refreshed all day. I’m going to share my 7 best beauty beach bag essentials with you.

These are the top 7 beauty products you need to keep in your beach bag at all times.
Drunk elephant d-Bronzi sunshine drops
These drops protect your skin from pollution and environmental stressors, while at the same time giving you a little sunny glow. This is exactly what we need for our outdoor time.
Supergoop sunscreen play vitamin c spf 50
This sunscreen has been my go-to for the last few years. So why change it if it’s not broken? Here’s why I love this one: it’s a super light mist that dries almost instantly, isn’t greasy, and actually has a light and pleasant citrus smell that isn’t overwhelming.
Facial wipes to feel fresh – Psychology Clean AF Facial wipes
One thing I don’t like about being out in the sun is sweating. So using a face wipe after I’m out in the heat – even if sweating under an umbrella – is a sure-fire way too few refreshed and new again.
La Roche Posay After Sun Face and Body Lotion
And after you wipe your face off, you’re going to need to re-moisturize – so use a product like this, that’s made for after-sun care.
Hair spray to freshen up – Oribe Aprés Beach Spray
Hair can go awry at the beach, with all the waves and the salt creating an invisible film on your locks. So spray this mist in your hair, and scrunch it up for beautiful beach waves – or for added texture to throw into an updo.
Speaking of updos...
This assorted set from Anthropologie will ensure you have something to match any of your bathing suits.
Tinted SPF Lip Balm by Coola
Last but not least – give your lips some love and protection at the same time, with a tinted SPF lip balm like this one from Coola.
