There’s no question about it. It is officially summer and whether you’re from the Bay or LA or San Diego, one thing’s for sure. Beach days have finally arrived and are here to stay for the next three months, unless you’re staying at Berkeley for summer school, to which I give my heaviest condolence. Side note, for those of you that are heading up to Berkeley in the fall of 2017, be wary! There are no nice beaches around.
For the time being, however, whether you’re kicking it down south in Venice Beach or up north at Santa Cruz, here are my current go-to’s.
1. Summer’s Eve Foaming Wash
Though foaming wash is nothing special on its own, this is Khloe Kardashian’s favorite brand. And not only that, I have been obsessed with these two scents that are the absolute perfect epitome of days of summer: Coconut Water and Mandarin Blossom. It’s a very gentle product that maintain the skin’s natural pH and is entirely free from any harsh chemicals.
Not only that, this brand has come out with amazing small packaged cleansing cloths that are a must-have for any on-the-go beach trip. It’s great for wiping up any sweat or any amount of bacteria, anywhere on your body so look into it if you’re planning any beach trips!
2. Steripod’s Toothbrush Protector
We all know that person who loves brushing her teeth after every ounce of food she consumes. Needless to say, that is me. While I’m at the beach, the most bothersome occurrence is when sand flies not only in the delicious sandwich I’m having but also all over my bag, contaminating toothbrush. To keep my toothbrush clean in every occasion, whether it be at home, in the dorms, at the gym, and especially at the beach, I’ve recently invested in a toothbrush protector.
Steripod protectors not only give your toothbrush a stylish cover-up (as cute as the crotchet lacy ones I’ve bought for the beach this year), these toothbrush protectors also release active vapors with thymol, a product used in oral antiseptics. It’s a great product for the price it comes at!
3. Essence Cosmetics- Eyebrow Designer
As a girl who has always lacked in the eyebrow department, I love this product. Every single time I get remotely wet at the beach, I feel the need to fix up my eyebrows.
Not only is this product simple to use, it’s found everywhere and is cruelty-free. I’m now beginning to look into cruelty-free makeup and this has been one of the best lines I’ve discovered so far.
Summer lovin’, here we come!
