If you’re lucky enough to be heading to a sun-filled spring break destination, there are a few necessities you don’t want to forget!

1. Sunscreen Lip Balm 

Helps prevent sunburn, moisturizes and soothes dry chapped lips, water resistant and ultra sheer.

 

2. UV Protecting Sunglasses 

  • Lens Features Maximum UV Protection

  •  

3. Beach Defense Water + Sun Barrier Spray Sunscreen 

Protects from excessive heat and direct sun. Waterproof for 80 minutes. Beach-strength UVA/UVB sun protection. Oil free.  

 

4. Leave-in Conditioner 

Create soft and smooth beach waves after you get out of the water:

 

 

  • Soy and Tri-Wheat Proteins penetrate the hair, while moisturizers detangle for softness. Soy also cannot over proteinize the hair
  • Cocoa Replenishes hair’s moisture, has intensive repairing qualities, provides deep conditioning and strengthening properties and promotes soft and manageable hair.

5. Perfect Beach Tote 

 

6. Facial Cleansing Wipes 

Mid-day on the beach, wipe your face clean of sunscreen, salt water and sweat; then re-apply your SPF. 

Ultra-soft conditioning cloths offer superior cleansing while hydrating and soothing your skin. Resealable package.

7. Headphones 

Relax next to the pool with your own playlist.

8. Bug Spray 

Warm-nights invite mosquitos to hangout with you and your friends; save yourself.  

The dry spray goes on without leaving an oily residue. Protecting lasts for up to 6 hours.

9. Wireless Speaker

Don’t sit in a silent hotel room while getting ready for a night out on the town.

 

10. Waterproof Band-Aids 

 

11. Pain Reliver 

No one wants to make a trip to the store in the morning when they wake up hungover; plan ahead!Â
