Alissa

SkinCeuticals Daily Brightening UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 30

I'm not too picky when it comes to what SPF I use on my body, but what I use on my face is a different story. I love this one because, in addition to protecting my skin from sun damage, it helps hydrate and even out my skin tone. After application, it does not leave thick or unpleasant marks.

Natural Deodorant in Pina Colada

Deodorant is a must-have in my beach bag, and what better way to enhance the beach vibe than choosing pina colada scented deodorant? Not only does this aluminum-free deodorant smell like a tropical cocktail, it also protects against bad breath while keeping skin smooth with coconut oil and shea butter.

Cat

La Roche-Posay Anthelios UV Correct Daily Anti-Aging Face Sunscreen SPF 70

As I got older, I began to realize how important it is to include sunscreen in my daily routine. For this reason, I never leave home without my favorite La Roche-Posay sunscreen. Protecting my skin with SPF 70, this product is great for giving me extra anti-aging benefits with ingredients like niacinamide and vitamin E. The best part about it is that it leaves me with glowing skin without the white cast!

Victoria

La Roche Anthelios Mineral SPF Hyaluronic Acid Moisture Cream

My ultra-sensitive skin dries out all year round, so I'm always on the lookout for mineral sunscreens that provide extra hydration. Can't wait to try this product this summer. I'm already a big fan of La Roche Posay sunscreens and this one acts like a moisturizer, providing 12 hours of hydration.

Kiehl's Butterstick Lip Treatment SPF 30

Tanned lips are VERY uncomfortable. Trust me, I know from my own sad experience. To avoid that situation this summer, I'll be stocking up on more SPF lip balms, like this SPF 30 selection from Kiehl's. The sheer formula is infused with coconut oil to deeply hydrate and soothe lips upon application. It's also available in a beautiful pink shade!

Alanna

Urban Decay All Nighter Vitamin C Fixing Spray

Hello, yes, hello, I am * that person who goes to the beach with makeup on. Hear me out: a little waterproof mascara, a CC cream with SPF, and a little blush/bronzer never hurt anyone—even on a very hot day! To keep my makeup in place and refreshed, this Vitamin C fixing spray is a must. It keeps my skin hydrated, my complexion bright and wakes me up instantly after a long day in the sun.

Ariel

CeraVe Moisturizing Mineral Face Sun Lotion SPF 50

Sunscreen is a must for everyone, but since my skin is very fair and also very sensitive, I've started taking extra precautions when it comes to protecting it from UV rays. Besides wearing a hat and sunglasses, I always reapply this sunscreen. It is oil-free, fragrance-free and non-comedogenic so it doesn't irritate my skin at all. The formula contains soothing niacinamide, ceramides and hyaluronic acid, plus titanium dioxide and zinc oxide for optimal sun protection. It's also approved by the National Eczema Association, another win for people with sensitive skin.

Vacation Butter Chardonnay SPF 30

The skin on my body is less sensitive than the skin on my face, so I can get by with scented products. I swear by this sun oil that smells amazing and coconut and gives the most gorgeous shimmery glow. I apply it all over from the neck down and am always blown away by how radiant it makes my skin look. It got me tons of compliments and I will never be a gatekeeper when I find such a good product.
