If you are escaping the British winter heading to warmer climates for some tropical sun, then you probably aren’t feeling as beach beautiful as you do before a Summer holiday – it’s hard to think of beach beauty products when you are wrapped up in your onesie after all!
But fear not! Here are my favourite beach beauty products to whisk away on your travels.
Removing all makeup after months of sun-deprived skin is hardly fun, so I’m really glad I’ve discovered this moisturiser from Origins. The cream is white, but when applied to the face it is actually a tinted moisturiser, so I felt confident in just wearing this on my face until I had developed a bit more of a tan. It is fabulously moisturising so gives a dewy finish and enough coverage without preventing a tan!
The Body Shop’s Coconut Beautifying Oil definitely works hard to earn it’s place in your suitcase! It is a multitasking oil which I use in the evenings as a body lotion as well as in my hair. The blend of nut oils including The Body Shop’s fair trade Manula Oil is quickly absorbed into skin and leaves it feeling hydrated all evening, as well as adding a slight shimmer so enhance your tan. Anyone who has been travelling in Thailand will be aware of the powers of Coconut oil in your hair, and this oil is fantastic at de-tangling sea-stressed hair.
The Charles Worthington Takeaways Sunshine Leave-in UV-Protection Spray comes in a tiny bottle so can easily be packed into your beach bag – ideal for day trips. By spraying hair and then combing through before sun-exposure, you are shielding your locks from the sun’s harmful rays, and the spray’s intense nourishment gives you a brilliant all over shine. I rely on this spray for combing through my hair after a dip in the sea, without it I’d have to keep my hair in a bun the whole time to avoid dreadlocks! If you have coloured hair, this is a must as it also protects against dullness and colour fading.
