Maintain Flawless Skin on the Beach

Whether you’re hitting the waves on Huntington Beach or daydreaming about hanging 10 with Kate Bosworth, getting flawless skin takes a lot of effort. Getting the seaside beauty look down takes skill. Here’s the scoop on what to bring for your next sunny getaway to keep your complexion looking its best.

Tinted Moisturizer with SPF: Getting the ‘no-makeup’ look is easy with Laura Mercier lightweight moisturizer. It offers a dewy glow and is perfect for all skin types. Stila also offers a water-resistant moisturizer perfect for your all-day beach jaunts.

Lip Balm: To keep lips from getting sunburnt, find a lip treatment with sun protection. Shiseido’s is recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation and fits nicely into your seaward lifestyle.

Face Wipes: After so many sessions of riding the waves, it’s important to take off whatever makeup you may still have on. These Burt’s Bees towelettes give your skin a beachy-cool feeling and are easy to fit in your beach bag..

Bedtime Moisturizer:  After a long day of at a beach bash, relaxing with good vibes and a cooling moisturizer like this Lavender Moisturizer from Naturopathica can calm and soothe the senses.

Leave-In Conditioner: This is the closest thing to having day-at-the-beach hair without actually hitting the waves. Bumble’s shampoo and conditioner is a staple in any surf family. Also, if you’re looking for a quick, cute hairstyle, add ocean water and lavender oil into a bottle then add to hair.

Sunscreen: Basking in the summer sun in Californ-I-A is the best place to get your surfin’ fix. But being too busy on your board to apply much-needed SPF is every surfer gal’s problem. Try Solbar Zin SPF 38 before you paddle out next time. It’s water-resistant and gentle on the eyes.

Waterproof Mascara: Yep, we all have pipe dreams of flowing out of the water like a beautiful mermaid … guilty. To get the look while keeping it fuss-free, a waterproof mascara is essential. It’s a multi-tasking product that provides a little extra flair to your surf routine.
