Packing for the beach or a warm destination does not have to be a chore. However, gathering thoughts before a trip can be challenging, so one way to make the travel process a breeze is with a checklist.
However, what if you aren’t organized or too busy to compose thoughts onto paper? This checklist features all the essential items needed for a fuss-free beach day!
Beauty
You don’t need to pack an entire makeup bag for a beach trip. However, packing a few products can help you feel your best and protect your skin.
SPF
Sunscreen for the face and body is the most important for a day out in the sun. You’ll be able to shield the skin from harmful rays without a fret. Some SPFs contain Beta-Carotene to enhance your tan.
UV Hair Protectant
Your scalp and strands need just as much protection as your skin. A convenient way to keep the hair and scalp nourished is with an SPF scalp spray. You can also opt for a UV protectant hair serum that can be tousled through the strands.
Lip Balm
The lips can appear quite parched during a day out in the sun. One way to combat a cracked pout is with lip balm! You can also find one with SPF protection.
Hair Ties
Sometimes hair can get in the way of genuinely relaxing at the beach. Hair ties will come in handy to avoid getting the hair wet or keep it manageable while you’re out.
Cream Blush
A multipurpose cream blush will help create a no-makeup-makeup look or add a pop of color to the cheeks. This is an optional way to keep the skin looking flushed.
Fashion
You can still look fabulous at the beach while remaining comfortable. Thankfully, you don’t need to haul your entire wardrobe to cover all of your bases.
Sandals
Choose sandals that fit various outfits and swimsuits that are also comfortable to walk in. Opy for a versatile pair of shoes to protect your feet for long days spent outside.
Hat & Sunglasses
A hat and some sunglasses are great to stay cool and block out the sun’s rays. They can also double as an accessory to your swimsuit!
Cover-Up
A coverup will help you transform from day to night to match any occasion during your vacation. Opt for something comfortable and lightweight to keep yourself cool.
Tote
Lastly, a spacious tote or bag with multiple compartments will keep you organized. You can reach for anything in a flash and put it back into its place.
Misc
The following items can keep you entertained and ready for whatever comes during your vacation.
Portable Charger
You never know when your phone needs a boost, and a portable charger can come in handy. This item will ensure you won’t have to worry about where you’re going or for how long.
Snacks
Beach bars can rack up a hefty price tag. However, packing your snacks can create a wholesome picnic on the beach. Snacks can also tie you over in between meals.
Book
A short beach read can help you relax while you catch some rays. It’s also an excellent way to disconnect or reach for your phone less.
Beach Towel
A beach towel will make it more comfortable to lay on the sand or sun bed. In addition, they are essential to help you dry off after a dip in the sea.
Water Bottle
