5 beach essentials for an easy-breezy summer

There is no summer (fun) without sunscreen. Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is crucial especially when you spend extended amounts of time in the sun. Your beachwear protects the covered part of your skin but the exposed part needs extra protection so we recommend you opt for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and keep reapplying it every two hours. We have curated a list of sunscreen and skincare products especially for the summer, check it out here and shop on Amazon or Nykaa via InterMiles.

Heading to the beach? Don't leave your style game at home. Invest in a good swimsuit, it goes a long way and if the fit is great you have nothing to worry about. Opt for quick-drying materials like nylon or polyester blends for added convenience. Along with a swimsuit, another essential that you need is a cover-up to protect you from the sun and make it convenient to visit beach-side cafes.

Sunglasses, hats and beach bags are all great fashion statements but more than that they are essential for any beach vacation. With a good pair of sunglasses, you can shield your eyes from the glare of the sun and get 100% UV protection. Hats keep your head cool and shaded and protect your face and scalp from severe sunburn. And lastly, a good spacious beach bag keeps all your essentials organized and sand-free.

Have you often wondered which are the best shoes for beach walking? It's time to ditch the beach shoes and go for flip flops or sandals that can easily be worn and taken off. Choose water-resistant materials when buying footwear for beach vacation so that it can withstand sand and saltwater for added durability.
