Sun Protection
Other than your swimsuit, having the right sun protection is the other most important things you’ll be bringing to the beach. Nothing worse than having a vacation spoiled because of a nasty sunburn on you or the kids! A day at the beach can cause all kinds of skin damage. Pro tip: Apply before heading to the beach and then again often throughout the day. Also, don’t forget a good SPF lip balm.
Beach Tip: In case you do get sunburnt, a bottle of Aloe Vera will help. But an even better sunburn treatment may be Apple cider vinegar! It smells terrible but it works miracles to take the sting out of a bad burn and speed up the healing process. Plus, it doesn’t feel sticky and gross on your skin. Pack a little spray bottle full of apple cider vinegar to bring on your beach trip.
