Essentials for beauty Vacation

Pack-Smart Beach Essentials for Stylish Chicks: 

Nice addition to the beach for vacation or a weekend? Not so fast! Be sure you have packed all the essentials you need to stay stylish and chic during your time in the sun! To maximize fun, minimize the number of beauty accessories, you can drag with your vacation place with these valuable Packing hints:

Make-up:

* Lip Gloss is important to prevent chapped, dry smack, but more importantly, to prevent sunburned lips! Try to find a yummy guy stick, which also has SPF protection read the fine print so many advertise, whether they contain SPF 15 or higher. 

Do not stress out over how much eye makeup to bring, and forget about the liquid foundation.

* If you like, pack a waterproof mascara to prevent waves from washing out your eyes. Nothing is worse than an unexpected look like a crybaby when you have time in your life in the surf and sand! (Do not forget to pack makeup remover, as most waterproof mascara is resistant to even soap and water!)

* Bring a concealer stick or powder compact to touch up spots. Too much foundation on a hot day can see and feel cakey or you can just run if the temperature is too high. Also, make-up bottles stowed away in luggage, purses and carry-on bags is a bad idea when you travel. I had a bottle of liquid foundation fur the entire contents of my backpack, destroying a brand new purse and give me at least an hour to clean up at once! If you simply can not live without your liquid foundation, place the bottle in a zip-lock bag just in case!

* Craving some color? It can not hurt to bring one or two shades of eye shadow, but be careful with lipstick, because it has a tendency to melt at higher temperatures prevail!

Body Care:

* No matter how hard you want a tan that sunscreen to protect your precious hide overexposure! Although they are perhaps the most obvious topic, do not forget your sunglasses!

* Just in case you get some sunburn, make your body a favor and blow on some aloe. A medium-sized plastic bottle is more than you need and you will thank yourself for remembering it, if you happen to fall asleep on the beach.

* The second miracle remedy, get a bottle of cocoa butter lotion. When aloe has reduced the burning sensation in the skin, you can rub in a little cocoa butter to prevent peeling and to re-hydrate the affected area. 

* Have you ever been caught in a sand storm? Well I have and I can not stress enough the value of a bottle of eye drops, if irritating particles of sand found its way into your eyes, either by a storm or even a playful game of football or beach soccer.

Do not forget your usual necessities like toothpaste and toothbrush, deodorant or antiperspirant, towels, shaving gel and razors, tweezers, body wash, etc.

Hair Care:

* Remember to pack your shampoo and conditioner, brush and comb, elastic bands and / or barrettes. If you do not want to drag your family-sized containers of hair products for your holiday destination, you can easily retrieve small travel-sized products. (Tight on money? You can always collect the small samples from hotels because they are there for their own use, and you will not know that they fit perfectly in a small makeup bag!)

* When you spend time at sea, or playing on the beach, what happens to the top of your head is probably the last thing on your mind. To prevent sunburn on your scalp, consider packing a hat of some sort, a bandana or a hair scarf.

* If dry hair due to excessive exposure to sun, chlorine or salt water is a problem for you, fret not! When you return from your time away, try a deep-conditioning treatment or Masque (Some use of marine seaweeds to restore moisture).

Clothing:

* Take two towels: one to lie, and one that is truly free, when you need to dry out. A beach blanket or beach mat also serves a practical purpose for the country-goers.

* An old T-shirt doubles as an escape from the sun's powerful rays, when you just want to relax and enjoy the sound of the surf. Also a T-shirt is good to have on hand, as it is important to cover exposed skin when the sun has already burned it.

* Normal clothes, you will be sure to bring: Shorts and tanks / t-shirts, jeans or other long pants, maybe a long sleeve shirt and a jacket hood, a sundress, nightwear, swimwear and underwear. Do not forget to bring along a windbreaker or light jacket for chilly nights at the beach!

* Footwear: Bring sandals or flip-flops, sneakers and shoes to go with at least one nice outfit. (Hint: Try to pack clothes that look good with the same sandals to reduce the need for extra shoes. As long as you can help it, do not be toting an entire bag dedicated to shoes alone!)
