Sun & sand essentials


Everyone has that bunch of stuff, those trusty products that always come in mind when you think of essentials: for preventing a burn or for getting a tan, for moisturising, for curing a pimple or a pain, it goes on and on. These are mine. Some of my favourite products that I like to always have on me when I go to the beach, I find it very difficult to go without and I use them all the time.
Mind you, I am not talking about a brand in particular, these are just this months favs but the product itself is the key.
First of all I just found out about this bag, this year. It may be old to some of you, but this is definitely new to me. It looks like a shopping bag made out of 100% cotton and it has holes. Actually it has more holes than material, but that is the thing that makes it the best thing for a beach carrier. It's great for the beach as all the sand falls through the holes. It’s very cheap, you can find it anywhere and ever reuse it during the rest of the year, since it’s great to carry groceries as well :)

In it my go-to's are:
- sunscreen is a must must have usually spf 50, since I am pale and I am really afraid to get burned (Collistar)
- eau thermale, my favourite si Avène because It's soft and gentle (Avène Eau Thermale)
- moisturising lip balm or lip cream, I love the one from Avène again and they have a fluid form and a stick form (Avène Cold Cream)
- after the sun I don't use a typical "after sun" cream because I get tanned gradually, a little bit day by day, so the burn is not major, I like to moisturize my body with a rich texture first, and then as the days pass by, use the after sun lotion. My favourite rich cream for the summer that does't leave your skin feeling greasy is by Rituals I have the mini size because I carry it everywhere with me: (The Ritual of Sakura Body Cream)
- tanning oil it's a must, my favourite one is from Gerovital Plant made in Romania :) (Sun Tanning Oil)
- hand cream mine is enriched with pure shea butter and aloe vera by Sabon (Patchouli Lavender Vanilla)
