2 SPF FOR BODY

Surely, you don’t want to remember your summer 2024 beach day trip after a sunburn, do you? Then better get SHISEIDO Ultimate Sun Protector Lotmate Sun Protector Lotion SPF 50++ SunSunscreen (buy here US – buy here EU/UK). Trust me, this sunscreen cream is the best.

Pov, not just any sunscreen will do. You need the perfect combination of protection and beauty, and that’s where SHISEIDO Ultimate Sun Protector Lotion SPF 50+ Sunscreen comes in.

Imagine yourself walking on the beach with this pretty and fashionable sunscreen, protecting your skin while also enhancing your natural beauty. Its smooth and silky texture will effortlessly blend into your skin fast. This sunscreen is very effective. With an SPF of 50+, it will shield your skin from harmful UV rays, keeping you safe while you bask in the sun.

This sunscreen has been my favourite for years. And you know, I know how to protect my skin from the sun’s harmful rays while also looking my best. With SHISEIDO Ultimate Sun Protector Lotion SPF 50+ Sunscreen, you can do the same.

3 SPF FOR FACE

Even though SHISEIDO Ultimate Sun Protector Lotion SPF 50+ Sunscreen is actually for body and face, I prefer the other three SPF creams for the face.

Rest assured SHISEIDO Ultimate Sun Protector Lotion SPF 50+ Sunscreen is great for the face, too.

But I simply prefer Diorsnow, Giorgio Armani SPF, and Chanel UV Essentiel SPF 50 creams for the face. I find those three SPF creams the best for acne-prone sensitive skin, like mine. Besides, I can wear all of these SPF creams under makeup, too.

The only problem, they keep selling out. Pov, consider yourself lucky if you get the chance to buy them online.

4 FASHIONABLE SWIMWEAR

As you step onto the warm, sandy shore of the beach, you can feel the sun’s rays caressing your skin, and the salty ocean breeze gently blowing through your hair. The sound of waves crashing against the shore soothes your soul, as you take in the stunning scenery before you.

You can’t help but feel the urge to dive into the crystal-clear water and let it wash away all your worries. But wait! You suddenly realize that you didn’t pack your swimwear. Oh, no! How could you forget the most important item for your beach trip?

Without your swimwear, you’ll miss out on all the fun of swimming, playing beach volleyball, and building sandcastles with your loved ones.

Don’t let this happen to you. Make sure to pack your swimwear before embarking on your beach trip. But not just any swimwear. Make sure you bring the most fashionable swimwear of the season.

OTHER THINGS YOU MIGHT NEED FOR A BEACH TRIP

Now that you have packed all the beach trip must haves, it’s time to pack some other things, too.

7 BEACH BAG

First, a beach basket. While you can carry beach trip must haves in your hand, you will need a beach bag for other things from my summer 2024 beach trip packing list.

Choose a fashionable beach bag – either a raffia tote or a trendy rectangular basket bag. Browse through the widget below to find the most stylish beach baskets.

A BEACH BAG IS WHAT YOU NEED FOR A BEACH TRIP

With its woven texture and natural colors, your rectangular basket bag is a perfect bag for a day on the beach or a short beach trip. Roomy enough for a sunscreen, sunglasses, towel, a good book, food, water bottle, extra clothes, extra pair of shoes, and even beach games (including that fun perfume bottle float), but lightweight and easy to carry.

Practical but romantic, as you walk along the shoreline, you will feel like a lead Barbie in a Barbie movie, embracing the magic and beauty of the ocean.

8 FOOD AND DRINKS

Bringing food and a water bottle along for your beach day is quite smart. Not only will it keep you hydrated and energized, but it will also allow you to fully enjoy all the activities the beach has to offer without searching for a beach bar. Or waiting for your food delivery. Btw can you even get a food delivery to the beach? No cap, the delivery guy/girlie takes a dip before you get your pizza.

Pov Your new beach bag is big enough to bring your entire refrigerator (or at least this cooler bag) to the beach with you.

Imagine this, you take a sip of water from your pink bottle and feel the cool liquid slide down your throat, quenching your thirst and refreshing your body. It’s a simple act, but in this moment, it feels so refreshing.

As you reach for a piece of fruit from the bag of snacks you brought along, you savor the sweetness and juiciness of each bite. The flavours explode in your mouth, and you feel a sense of gratitude for the simple pleasures of life. The sun’s warmth on your skin, the sound of the waves crashing against the shore, and the taste of fresh fruit – these are the things that make life truly beautiful.

As you continue to drink from your pink water bottle and nibble on your snacks, you feel a deep sense of connection to the world around you. You’re no longer just a bystander, observing the beauty of the beach from a distance. You’re a part of it, fully immersed in the experience and savoring every moment.

FUN GAMES YOU CAN PLAY ON THE BEACH

10 EXTRA FASHIONABLE CLOTHES

What to wear on the beach in summer 2024 to be the most fashionable?

For the summer 2024 beach trip, wear clothes in stripes or a fashionable floral print. This way, you will look fashionable on the beach, plus have an excuse for a staycation in your garden and a future seaside vacation to wear the other prints this summer, too.

11 BEACH SHOES

I don’t know how many shoes you usually bring for a trip, but I always bring more than just two pairs for a beach trip. One to walk in the sand and second in case the first pair gets wet.

12 FOLDING CHAIR or LOUNGER

A folding chair is an essential item for any beach day, and for good reason. Not only does it provide a comfortable place to sit and relax, but it also keeps you off the hot sand and away from any pesky bugs or critters that may be lurking.

But it’s not just about practicality – a folding chair can also add an extra level of style and sophistication to your beach day. With a variety of colors and styles to choose from, you can find a folding chair that perfectly matches your personal taste and beach aesthetic.

With a folding chair at your disposal, you can fully immerse yourself in the beach experience. Whether you’re reading a book, sipping on a cold drink, or simply soaking up the sun, a folding chair provides the comfort and convenience you need to fully relax and enjoy your beach day.

Pov I don’t think a folding chair is lightweight and easy to carry, little less being like a breeze to transport to and from the beach. But hey, that’s why you brought the entire gang to the beach with you. You, girlies, can carry anything together.

13 BEACH UMBRELLA / CABANA

Ok, girlies, you might need an extra pair of hands to help you bring a cabana, or an umbrella. Pov not that’s really heavy, but just so unpractical. Nevertheless, with a cabana or beach umbrella in tow, you can enjoy all the fun and beauty of the beach without the worry of getting too much sun. Whether you’re there for relaxation, adventure, or just stunning views, a beach umbrella provides the comfort and protection you need to fully enjoy your beach day.

But it’s not just about staying safe and comfortable – a beach umbrella can also add an extra layer of fun and entertainment to your beach day. Whether you’re using it to create a cozy picnic spot, setting up a game of cards, or just lounging under the shade with a good book, a beach umbrella provides a versatile and convenient space for all of your beach activities.

14 TRASH BAG

Surely, you can put all the waste and trash into your canvas tote. But still, in case you have some used diapers, you would thank me for reminding you to bring the trash bag with you to the beach.
