While you're basking in the sun by the ocean or pool, sunscreen isn't the only product you need on hand. Protect your hair, skin, and nails with these other warm-weather essentials that are small enough to throw in your beach bag. Each item here will fit perfectly into your vacation budget because they're all under $10.
It's important to protect your hair from chlorine by applying conditioner before you swim. Apply Kiehl's Olive Fruit Conditioner ($7) after you wet your hair in the shower to help ward off the green tint from the pool.
If you have longer hair, make the Goody Simple Styles Hair Pin ($8) one of your beach essentials. You can easily throw strands up into a topknot that will stay in place from lunchtime barbecue to moonlit dip.
Stay protected even while you swim with Coppertone Wet 'n Clear Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 ($11). Not only is it water-resistant; it can even be applied to wet skin.
Short- and long-haired ladies alike will love this Charlotte Russe Embellished Floppy Straw Hat ($10). It keeps the sun out of your eyes (hello, magazine-reading marathon!) and protects your face and scalp from burning.
Spritz Mario Badescu Facial Spray ($7) while you're out in the sun for an instant cooling sensation. It has rosewater, aloe, and herbs to keep your skin hydrated during the most intense heat waves.
While most sunscreens can work all over your body, try this Kiss My Face Sunscreen For Face and Neck SPF 30 ($11) to make sure that your ears, nose, and neck get the special attention they deserve.
Sand can get everywhere when you're lounging by the ocean, so pack travel-size towelettes like the EO Lavender Hand Sanitizer Wipes ($4) for instant cleanup. They're also perfect for cleaning up those sticky Summer treats and sweet snacks by the pool.
Chapped, burned lips won't be a worry if you keep Supergoop! AcaiFusion SPF 30 ($9) in your Summer bag.
A small comb, such as Swissco's Wide Tooth Comb ($9), will make sure your hair doesn't end up in a matted mess. Transitioning to a postpool party will be a breeze.
Slather on the Beyond Coastal Aftersun Moisturizer ($8) to remedy any inadvertent redness after a long beach day. Contains aloe vera, shea butter, and antioxidants to soothe riled-up skin.
