Have some fun in the sun with nothing but confidence on — and your favorite swimsuit! *wink!* If you’re dreaming of soaking up some rays them grab your best friends, fill up your trusty tote bag, and don’t forget these steps!

 

1. Prep your skin before you leave the house

 

Let’s be real, the only thing we want bumpin’ on our day in the sun is our favorite summer jams. (LFO anyone?) Our secret weapon for the smoothest skin ever is First Aid Beauty’s KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub. Use it in the shower to get the benefits of a chemical peel and microdemabrasion all over your bod. And if you suffer from ingrown hairs, First Aid Beauty Ingrown Hair Pads with BHA and AHA are single-use pads that help eliminate razor burn and painful ingrowns while preventing new ones. One swipe and you’re set!

 

Even your walk from the car to the beach or pool can expose you to harmful UV rays. Your next step after showering and moisturizing should always be a broad spectrum sunscreen. TULA Skincare Protect + Glow – Daily Sunscreen Gel SPF 30 protects your skin from the sun and the damaging effects of pollution and blue light. Its non-comedogenic formula with ingredients like probiotic extracts, pineapple, and papaya means it won’t clog pores or leave a white cast.

 

2. Pack for a perfect day

How many times have you gone to the pool or beach and had to use your shorts or coverup as a pillow? Bring two towels and you can use one for lying down (we love the vivid and happy vibes of the Lilly Pulitzer Lounge Towel), and the other as a pillow. Plus you can dry off with it after you get out of the water.

 

Speaking of jams, bring your own tunes along with the Sonix Bluetooth Mini Speaker. It’s splashproof and pairs easily with your phone.

Snacks are a must — pack a large water bottle and some munchies. (Try the Magic-Cali Bars on page 15. They’re delicious!)

3. Let go and have fun!

This is your day. Be intentional about being in the moment. Take the opportunity to jump in the water, snap pictures and videos with family and friends, and bask in the sunshine.
