Bobbi Brown SPF 15 Tinted Moisturizer

Aussie Sun-Touched Shine Leave-In Conditioner
It would be nice if every time you got out of the ocean, you shook your hair, tousled it with your fingers (think: a Charlie's Angel exiting the water), and presto! Gorgeous, wavy, beach hair. Not so much. A quick swim in the water can leave hair dry and stringy for the rest of the day. This leave-in spray gets rid of tangles and leaves your hair shiny. The Angels would approve.
See how to get a beachy, tousled look all year round.

Rimmel Sexy Curves Waterproof Mascara
This might be surf 'n sun common sense, but if you know you're going to be taking a dip in any body of water — ocean, pool, lake — you might have to skip the mascara (waterproof formula or not). But if you plan on lounging under an umbrella for the day and want to sport a more natural-looking lash, this formula goes on light, without adding a ton of volume to your eyes. The curvy wand reaches all of your lashes for a nice, even look, plus it's waterproof — because you never know when an accidental splash or rogue wave might occur. Opt for a warm brown color for more natural-looking lashes.
Check out some of our top-performing mascaras when you're off the sand.

If a little piece of you dies when your nails aren't polished, choose a super-light shade for your beach trips this summer. Two of our favorites are Peach Nectar 913 and Peach Petal 115. They leave you with a nice, breezy color, and it won't be as noticeable when/if chips occur.

Almay Smart Shade Anti-Aging Concealer with SPF 20
If there is one area we want to cover up as soon as our eyelids open, it's our dark under-eye circles. Leave the oversized sunglasses at home and apply a dab of this concealer under each eye instead. The high SPF will protect the sensitive skin under your eyes, and it's oil-free, so you won’t feel a greasy residue after applying.
