Beach bag essentials
The scent of sun protection, slippers in the sand and warmth on your skin. That is exactly what makes a day by the sea so enjoyable, but also intense for your skin and hair. Sun, wind and seawater can dry out your skin, make your hair less smooth and make your skin more sensitive to sun damage.
A good beach bag contains exactly what you need. Protection that you can reapply easily and quickly. Care that helps your hair recover after a swim in the sea. A brush that detangles your hair without pulling. A light hair perfume that leaves your hair feeling and smelling fresh when you go from the beach to dinner.
With these essentials, your care routine stays simple, yet considered. Exactly what you want on holiday.
What do you bring in your beach bag?
Sun protection only works properly if you keep reapplying it throughout the day. This is especially true at the beach, where sun, water, sweat and physical contact cause the protection to wear off more quickly. Gun Ana’s Multi Guard Stick SPF50 is designed for active days. The stick glides smoothly over the skin, leaves no white residue and stays in place even when you’re on the move. Ceramides, oat oil, vitamin E and rosehip oil help keep the skin moisturised and comfortable.
Your lips, the bridge of your nose, your cheekbones and your shoulders often get more sun than you realise. Gun Ana’s UV Stick SPF50 is compact, nourishing and easy to carry around. The formula, containing oat oil, wheat germ oil, rosehip oil, vitamin E and antioxidants, helps to minimise moisture loss and protects against UVA and UVB rays. Thanks to its solid form, you can apply it quickly without a mirror.
Salt water can give your hair that lovely, light, beachy feel, but it can also leave it dry and brittle. Ceremonia’s Guava Rescue Spray is a 4-in-1 spray that detangles, moisturises and protects against UV rays, heat up to 232 degrees and pollution. Guava and avocado help to strengthen and nourish the hair, so that it feels supple again after a dip in the sea.
Wet, salty or tangled hair calls for a brush that glides gently through the hair. The Miracle Brush Small N.04 from La Bonne Brosse has fine, supple nylon bristles that help detangle without causing unnecessary breakage. Its compact size makes it perfect for your beach bag. The brush also provides a pleasant scalp massage, making your post-swim hair routine feel almost like a little reset.
After a day at the beach, you sometimes want something that makes your hair feel just that little bit more nourished, without weighing it down. Impadia Hair Perfume by BDK Parfums subtly perfumes the hair with notes of pear, bergamot, rose and vanilla. Silk proteins help to soften the hair, support hydration and elasticity, and give a glossy finish.
