Top 9 beach bag essentials

It’s a given that SPF is a must for a day in the sun, but we love that Ultraceuticals SunActive Body Lotion SPF 50+ doubles as a body moisturiser, too. 

Give your carefree waves a kickstart by spritzing mid-lengths with KMS California Hair Play Sea Salt Spray and scrunching with your hands.

Safeguard your hair by coating it with a leave-in moisturiser that contains UV filters. We like Evo Happy Campers Hard-Working Moisturiser.

La Roche-Posay Uvidea XL Melt-In BB Cream SPF 50 provides the highest broad spectrum protection and sheer, even coverage.

Keep your summer complexion cool by misting Shu Uemura Depsea Water throughout the day.

Untangle matted strands with the water-loving Tangle Teezer Original.

We’ll be slathering on a sunscreen that contains physical filters, such as zinc oxide, so we’re less prone to breakouts after a day at the beach. Find it in Invisible Zinc 4hr Water Resistant SPF 50+.

Protect your pout and add a hint of tint with Ella Baché Great Lipsaver SPF 50+ in Melon.

Bat fuller lashes beach-side with a budge-proof mascara, like Maybelline New York The Mega Plush Volum’ Express Waterproof Mascara in Black.
